Modern has a new combo deck that can actually beat Affinity and Jund! The idea is to use Disciple of Deceit and Cryptolith Rite to grab the perfect card you need for every situation and generate mana in the process.

Early Game and Mulligans Show

The things that you should try to get in your starting hand are as follows:

2 lands

Any form a pressure (Disciple of Deceit, Pack Rat ,)

Never mulligan if you have Cryptolith Rite and Disciple of Deceit.

What to Grab and When to Grab it Show

You should almost always fetch Cryptolith Rite first because it gives mana and a reliable way to tap your Disciple.

Fetching a Scavenging Ooze, Pack Rat , Or Scrapheap Scrounger first or second is also a good move, as these cards can single handedly win you the game in certain situations.

Hidden Strings can also be fetched before Cryptolith Rite, if your opponent is playing control, as it lets you tap there lands and generally mess up there day.
