Seachrome Coast , Path to Exile , you should try out Remand this is one of the faster tempo decks out there.

I'm slightly confused as to how wrath of god doesnt destroy erayo and ruin your combo? sorry if im not seeing something.

Once I okay Wrath, Erayo is flipped into the Essence enchantment. So Wrath is safe.

Idk I would add Polluted Delta just to have more consistent mana

Glacial Fortress could be better than Seachrome Coast

I also don't think Dissolve is that good in Modern. Consider Rune Snag or Mana Leak instead.

Also consider Spell Pierce and Cryptic Command

Sure thing. If I ever get a Cryptic Command, I will add it. And sure, I'll see about mana leak too.

PhyrexiaRules says... #7

Oh yeah, and I have a Polluted Delta.

Geist of Saint Traft alt win con? very fast. I have a french EDH and he is the commander. I would suggest Snapcaster Mage he is sweet. blocks/attacks does stuff you know. Cryptic Command is like time walk. and very strong with snap. (you bounce snap). Repeal is decent. Seachrome Coast is amazing. Don't deck it out :C it is always untapped. and if you have more than 3 lands you won't really care. since you can play it before. pretty much a Tundra in my Ad Nauseam deckSerum Visions and Peer Through Depths can help you find combo.

Okay, let's look at it. Definitely re- main-decking Seachrome. I'll also look at Serum Visions and Peer through Depths.

And also, when I get Snapcaster I will use him. Pretty god if I want to reuse Wrath because I need it twice, or Gigadrowse if I need it early.

Also there is a few ways to break the combo. The main ones are manlands like Raging Ravine or Inkmoth Nexus , Abrupt Decay or indestructible creatures. I would highly suggest splashing red to turn this into a full on U/W/R control list. you will have access to faster combos and more control. Lighting Bolt , Electrolyze , Wall of Omens , Restoration Angel + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker , and maybe Ajani Goldmane , Lightning Helix ( good for burn and stuff) Counterflux for sideboard and more stuff , Augur of Bolas is also a more high risk/reward version than wall of omens, but so good to bounce

oh and of course add Celestial Colonnade

oops, wrong ajani xD that is one crap, Ajani Vengeant also if you don't know what the kiki combo is you bounce resto which bounces kiki which makes infinite angels and Cryptic Command is one of the best blue spells in modern. its how shehar shenar (probably spelt wrong ) won that big thing a few years ago, 3 cryptic was 3 timewalks and he won a game HE should have lost. poor reid duke.

Tectonic Edge can get rid of manlands like the ravine or Treetop Village

PhyrexiaRules says... #15

I probably will add manlands soon, and once again definitely Cryptic Command if I ever acquire it.

October 6, 2014 10:22 a.m.

PhyrexiaRules says... #16

Yeah, and maybe some red, but I am confused as to how I can splash it. I will look at my options to splash red(remove delta for mountains, probably)

You considered any work-arounds for Aura of Silence , Dispeller's Capsule , and just about any creature/artifact/enchantment you can sacrifice to destroy an enchantment? I love the idea of putting your opponent on perma-lock, but the deck seems like it doesn't have many ways to guarantee that it draws into the combo, nor any insurance factors in case your opponent actually deals with the combo.

I would suggest reading this. I don't agree with everything but lots of great stuff

Okay, updating my deck, any ideas on how I could splash red is great. But for now, I have Think Twice to find combo, would I rather use Divination or Consecrated Sphinx? Suggestions are great!

XTowelie says... #20

I would suggest trying out the kiki + angel combo.

October 7, 2014 3:43 p.m.

PhyrexiaRules says... #21

Okay, let's see. I will definitely test out your combo

October 7, 2014 6:08 p.m.

DuTogira says... #22

I don't know about the combo... Seems like the 2RRR cost of Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker makes the combo very hard to pull off in a deck that is just splashing red, and even in an ideal match that combo won't work until turn 6, at which point most decks will have killed you or are about to kill you. It's also really weak to cards like Path to Exile or even something as simple as Angelsong . Don't get me wrong, the combo is impressive... but it feels like its extremely expensive and rather easily dealt with to make it worth splashing into an Azorius deck.

DuTogira says... #23

And don't even get me started on the hilarity that ensues if someone pulls a Batwing Brume (paying both white and black of course) in response to your Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Restoration Angel combo. It's absolutely ludicrous.

October 7, 2014 7:15 p.m.

PhyrexiaRules says... #24

Okay DuTogira, I will re-add Serum Visions, de-splash red, and replace mountains with Nimbus Maze. Also, Divination to find combo, once again should I replace divination with Consecrated Sphinx , Ior Ruin Expedition , or Think Twice ?

October 7, 2014 7:38 p.m.

DuTogira says... #25

I'm not saying you can't splash red, I'm just saying that I don't think that particular combo is the way to do it. Out of the three I'd pick Think Twice . It's more consistent than either of the other two.
