Inspired by SCG tour Pro, Brennan Decandio, this deck focuses on using the three new awesome modal spells from Hour of Devastation and flashing them back with Goblin Dark Dwellers who do not die to Abrade like Torrential Gearhulk. I am also on a budget, and buying more Gearhulks is fairly expensive. But I do have one that my girlfriend had pulled, so it is in and can always keep my opponents wary that I might have it. Although many people are down on Doomfall, we have enough early interaction to deal with early board states and to not give them much choice on turn 3 when we play it. If there isn't anything good on board, we can exile a card from their hand, and Goblin Dark-Dwellers it back on turn 5 again.

The deck is all about flexibility and almost every instant or sorcery gives us options. You and cycle away Censor or use the second mode on Supreme Will if they don't play into open mana. Abrade can kill most creatures, including the gearhulks and Metalwork Colossus, as well as Heart of Kiran and other random artifacts. Doomfall is rarely a dead card since it can hit creatures or disrupt the hand. Hopefully I can play-test soon and get FNM results up for everyone.

+2 Censor -2 Magma Spray

+1 Cancel +1 Negate +1 The Locust God -1 Land -1 Hieroglyphic Illumination -1 Abrade

+4 Opt -2 Goblin Dark-Dwellers -2 Doomfall

Forgot my FNM updates, but I believe I split top two 3 of the 4 weeks I played. Basically the deck played really well, and I got used to it a lot. The last week after the changes seemed to keep it about the same. The 4 Opts are fantastic, but I am definitely sad about losing Goblin Dark-Dwellers flashing back Doomfall. =[

Since I'm not playing for Fatal Push this month, I felt like playing my 5 color Panharmonicon deck, which also went to top 2. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/25-08-17-value-town/
