Modern UWR with Nivix Cyclops?

Deck Help forum

I was bored today and decided to give Nivix Cyclops a shot today in a deck and I was just wondering if you guys could maybe take a look at it and see what you think?

Izzet a bird? Izzet a plane? Nope, it's a cyclops.

This isn't going to be a pro tour or GP competitive deck, but I do play against Zoo, Affinity, G/R Tron and Amulet decks in a very competitive kitchen table environment.

He seems like he should do okay in the modern format with his big enough toughness and simple activation as long as you can clear a path for him with some removal or an Artful Dodge .

Also, has anybody ever played with the cyclops in any of their own decks? Was he worth using or is it just a waste of time?

I think what I have going on here is fine for the most part and the deck isn't warped around the cyclops so it should do fine if I don't draw into one right away, but I think this deck may run out of gas and not be able to close games, any suggestions?

I think the issue is that in most situation Geist of Saint Traft does the same role better.
