Your main issue is actually going to be getting through without drawing too many times.

@fluffybunnypants: Didn't draw a single game today and played three games in several rounds. Don't forget this deck can just straight-up burn people to death, which is what happened most of the time.

@sylvannos It'll happen, hell, you may even require a blood transfusion after the mirror.

Remand is strictly a tempo card, it's a time walk, not an answer. When I played U/W/R I found that my 4th Mana Leak was infinitely worse than my third. I actually wound up playing a Logic Knot out of the side and found it much more useful. I recommend some Meddling Mage s out of the side as well.

@fluffybunnypants: I completely forgot about Logic Knot . I like that idea. I think I'll run 3 Mana Leak and 1 Logic Knot mainboard.

I'm only running 2 Remand for the specific reason you mentioned: it's only a tempo play. I ran four last week and found myself siding them out in a lot of games. After playtesting a bit more this past week, I decided 2 is probably the right number.

I don't know if I'll be able to fit Meddling Mage in my sideboard. I think I'd play additional copies of Counterflux and Wrath of God . The shop has a few copies in stock, so I think I'll just buy them to have just in case I change my mind.

I see a lot of Jund, Pod and 4 Color Gifts in my meta. Meddling Mage was basically my only playable answer to Thrun, the Last Troll .

My meta is mostly Zoo, Affinity, Goblins (multiple people play Goblins...it's weird), Tron, Splinter Twin , and Kiki Control. We have about two people that play B/G/x, and they don't always show up. That's why I'm leaning towards Wrath of God . It hits more targets.

Speaking of, that Supreme Verdict should probably be Wrath of God ....

You should definitely be running more board wipes, because 3 path to exile and hitting some creatures for 3 wont be enough sometimes.in my american control Control American I run 4.

@PolyKing: I'm thinking you're right. Two Wrath of God and a Supreme Verdict might be in order. I might cut Restoration Angel out of the deck completely once I get two more Celestial Colonnade . I have two weeks before the next Modern tournament at my shop, so that should give me plenty of time to playtest.
