After going 4-0 in my latest modern tourney, I would like to show everyone this masterpiece. It catches everyone off guard. The key to this deck is the attack step because you can't just go face every turn and you have to know when to use every opportunity to deal damage and keep your creatures alive. Though, you must accept that your first turn you will lose your one drop during an attack, since, you are more likely to have another creature afterwords.

Hexdrinker and Wildborn Preserver are your mana dumps to get ahead with every creature. Having them get big enough to win is not key since you should prioritize board presence over tall creatures, however, to slam one down after your first board is picked off is super powerful.
Strangleroot Geist and Avatar of the Resolute are the harder aggro pieces of this deck that get your opponent on a fast clock for very little mana in the early turns. Experiment One and Dryad Militant are early creatures that are important because both of them are the most defensive creatures we got to removal.
Aspect of Hydra and Blossoming Defense are your surprise for most people. Aspect of Hydra is a strong finisher/savior when they want to kill your creatures. Blossoming Defense is mostly a defensive card and should be for spells that target your creature rather than to win trades, you can only play this deck if you are okay with trading. Dismember is up to any choice of creatures; save it if you know they got something big, use it early to get more damage off to race faster, etc. the hardest card to use in the deck.
-Each sideboard option is super situational and there is no actual way to say what to take out. For example, if Tron is on the other side of the feild you take all of your steel leaf's, rancors, blossomings for the pithing needles, force of nature, and Damping Sphere. I regularly find myself just taking a third of my sideboard into the next match because it's well refined for the common matches. -3 card:Pithing Needles and 3 Damping Sphere for Tron, Urza, Walkers, etc. It's a great card that hits so many things in the format. -3 Life Goes On for the burn matchup since getting 8 more life points is super backbreaking for them since they can't get past your creatures in the long run. 1 Scavenging Ooze and trade your creatures into theirs more. -1 Scavenging Ooze and 2 Relic of Progenitus are for the Dredge, Urza, Gund, etc match ups to get rid of their advantages. Most of the others are flexible to the meta and can decrease the other sideboard picks in favor of others. 61 is intentional.
To end this, I would say to play this for its super low cost compared to most modern decks and for its consistency. You might want to splash more colors but be aware that burn is super played right now. THANK YOU FOR READING!
