Let's all have fun! My take on Gavin Verheys RWStax.

The idea is your basic Stax, land/mana denial.Magus of the Tabernacle keeps your opponents lands pretty much stay tapped, while Ghostly prison makes sure he or she can't really start beating you down. World Queller, Tectonic Edges and Boom // Bust keep your opponents lands at a low number, and ghost quarter often screws their colors up. Crucible of worlds makes all of that just unfair.

Elspeth and Ajani give you a wincondition, 'cause while controlling your opponents lands is fun, it won't win you the game.

Manarocks (Boros Signet and Mindstone) and Crucible of Worlds let you recover faster from Bust.

Chalice of the Void just kills burn decks, and causes a lot of headache to almost every deck in the format.

Oblivion Ring for your basic 'Answer everything' removal

Horizon Canopy is amazing. While the Green is irrelevant and taking 1 damage when ever you tap it for mana starts to hurt after a while, 1, tap, sac: draw is amazing with Crucible.

Aven Mindcensor to hose fetchlands and make Ghost Quarter better.

Please tell me what you think!

Magic Online Modern 2-man — Sept. 10, 2013
Edit

I decided to try this deck out in modo, and the results were surprisingly positive.

2-0 Against Melira Pod, won both games at ~3 life, and I mulliganed to 5 and kept a one lander in game 2.

1-2 Against Living End. Not much to say here, my opponent was a better player than I was.

0-2 Against Jund. Mulliganed to 5 in both games, T1 Thoughtseize in both games. I ran out of gas.

2-0 Against RB Tron. This was just brutal. In two games my Opponent didn't play a single relevant spell, and in G2 I won on turn 15, while he had no permanents in play. At best he was at 3 lands, 2 of which produced color.

Played Modern 8-man in Magic Online.

Match 1 was against Ad Nauseum. Lost game 1, kept a hand with land/creature hate, which doesn't bother Ad Nauseum Won games 2 and 3. G2 Pithing Needle naming Lightning storm won in for me on turn 1. G3 Runed halo naming Lightning Storm and Chalice X=1 (incase of Disintegrate) did the trick. He cast Ad Nauseum drawing everything, then Patrician's Scorned all enchantmets, including the phyrexian unlife that was keeping him alive.

Next game was against UR Delver. Had all the counters. 0-2
