Hey guys, so I have been deck cycling this for the past couple weeks, but as I can't afford to upgrade my membership, I only get to cycle once per day, and I don't really get any comments or views, so I thought I'd make an attempt here...I recently moved to a new city and I have only been to the local shop here for a modern night once. I took a combo deck to just mess around and get a feel for the decks and competitiveness of the other players here...I played a Mono green Tooth and Nail deck, and that was pretty much the only "tier" deck I played, the rest were weird brews (though I DID lose to a fast white creature aggro deck due to bad hand keeps). The decks that went on into top 4, which I didn't get a chance to play against, were a twin, amulet bloom, Grixis delver/control, and something else I don't remember. These players were competetive, and "elitist"...their entire decks were foreign, foil, and all their lands were expeditions...now obviously I was a bit jelly, but I know that having money doesn't make you a better player, so I'm not too intimidated and I feel I can still take my "pet" deck and put up results. Here is the list: PolyRites
I need some serious feedback on how to make it more competetive if possible, and I will not turn the deck into an either/or version, the entire point is to run both to be more resilient. Emrakul is not in the list because he can't be reanimated, gifts ungiven is not in the deck because I don't want to build around it with packages etc, but otherwise, I'm open to thoughts and criticism and am very grateful for any and all help!
DruneGrey, Emrakul can be reanimated, but not by Unburial Rites, which is what he's running. You'd need instant speed reanimation

Quicken? I'm not sure why I said the above, it was supposed to be funny, but it is very not funny.

Went 4-0 and won top 4 with this list tonight! Thanks everyone for all the help! Round 1 2-0 against a Melira company, round 2 2-1 burn, round 3 2-0 some soldier brew, round 4 2-0 affinity (these were SUPER close games!)
Top 4 first round 2-1 Jund Second round 2-0 burn!
DruneGrey says... #2
Emrakul can be reanimated...He has to hit the graveyard first, when that triggered ability hits the stack you can cast an instant reanimation in response and pull him back...
