In a two-color deck, you should play a lot of non-basic lands such as Dragonskull Summit, Blackcleave Cliffs, Haunted Ridge so that you are always mana fixed and still can afford to play a few non-basic lands with abilities, such as Haven of the Spirit Dragon. Temple of the Dragon Queen is bad in a two-color deck. Blightstep Pathway  ^Flip is going to be always untapped.

Just checked your lands, you probably should look for some lands that don't enter tapped. Either way IMHO you'd be better off running budget fetchlands like Evolving Wilds over non-Basics like Guildgates, there are effects that will punish you for having non-Basics, and you don't need heavy fixing in here. You really, really want to use 1 drops and untapped lands in Modern, I took the liberty of looking up a few possible fits (relatively budget), Blackcleave Cliffs (pricey but good turn 1), Blightstep Pathway  ^Flip (pricey), Foreboding Ruins (good with lots of Basics, dirt cheap), Sulfurous Springs (great with your life gain, very cheap), budget Basic fetching lands are worse than untapped duals, but most people already have multiple Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic Expanse kicking around, and they added the new Riveteers Overlook too fwiw.

If you want sneaky way to fix/ramp, you might try out Rakdos Keyrune, normally a 3 mana rock sucks, but this can also be a 3/1 First Strike for relatively little mana, and it's usually much harder to kill than a traditional creature. If you really want to keep a bunch of big mana cards then adding some ramp like this wouldn't hurt.

Some cool lands to maybe think about for future upgrades:

Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip, Agadeem's Awakening  ^Flip, Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip, Shatterskull Smashing  ^Flip, Turntimber Symbiosis  ^Flip, Valakut Awakening  ^Flip, Castle Locthwain, Castle Embereth

Cragcrown Pathway  ^Flip, Blightstep Pathway  ^Flip, Auntie's Hovel

I think your Reliquary Tower might be a bit ambitious; maybe replace it with Goblin Burrows or Den of the Bugbear for flavor? or Westvale Abbey  ^Flip!! No shortage of tokens to sacrifice!

Hi grumbledore, I've noticed that quite a few of the following cards are uncategorized, and figured they could fit into some of the following categories you have on site:

• Arcane Lighthouse - Removal or Stax, since it removes protective keywords?

• Adeline, Resplendent Cathar - Aggro since she triggers on attacks.

• Birgi, God of Storytelling  ^Flip - Ramp for front, Draw for back side

• Blightstep Pathway  ^Flip - Mana fixing, not sure if all Pathway lands are uncategorized.

• Braid of Fire - Ramp?

• Den of the Bugbear - Mana Fixing and/or Aggro because of its activated ability.

• Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  ^Flip - Ramp from the Goblin Shaman token, Draw/Discard from the 2nd chapter.

• Grave Pact - Removal or Stax, since it's an edict effect

• Great Furnace and Seat of the Synod - Mana Fixing?

• Inquisitorial Rosette - Aggro for its attack trigger and Menace anthem.

• Mishra, Claimed by Gix  ^Meld - Aggro, since it's attack based

• Needleverge Pathway  ^Flip - Mana fixing

• Ogre Battledriver - Aggro since it's a haste anthem.

• Scheming Symmetry - Tutor

• Signal Pest - Should be Aggro because of Battle Cry, and similar cards with Battle Cry are listed in Aggro.

• Skullclamp - This is categorized as Aggro, but not in Draw

• Teferi, Master of Time - Draw, Removal for phasing

• Wandering Archaic  ^Flip - Stax for front, or ramp/draw for back?

This is not an exhaustive list, but some of the ones I noticed from looking at my own deck categories.

thanks a ton. Underrealm Lich and Acidic Slime are on my to add list already. and for Blightstep Pathway  ^Flip i was just saying the other day i need to do some land work on this deck to make it run more efficiently so thank for pointing out to change to Darkbore Pathway  ^Flip.

i had never heard of Blood Artist or Grim Haruspex but ill make sure i grab them and find a way to work them in same with Krosan Grip and Indrik Stomphowler.

Good deck all around. I do have a couple of suggestions based on my long history with Meren.

1- Replace Blightstep Pathway  ^Flip with Darkbore Pathway  ^Flip. I'm assuming that's what you meant to enter?

2- Underrealm Lich is super underplayed in these reanimation-based decks, but it's beyond useful. It fills up your graveyard and protects you from milling out.

3- Blood Artist is pretty much a must-have for any aristocrats deck.

4- Grim Haruspex is incredible for card advantage.

5- Cards like Acidic Slime, Krosan Grip, and Indrik Stomphowler as most graveyard-hate cards are artifacts and enchantments and you'll want to be able to shut those cards down whenever you can (think Tormod's Crypt, Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void, Relic of Progenitus, etc). You have some, but you could have more.

I like the deck themes you're working with; this looks pretty different from my build but I think this could help improve your power level a bit.

yea pioneer would be much easier for this deck to handle. check lands (Dragonskull Summit) are fine in pioneer, i wouldnt run more than 4 however. you might want to put in some either fast lands (Blackcleave Cliffs), slow lands (Haunted Ridge), or pathway lands (Blightstep Pathway  ^Flip, Searstep Pathway  ^Flip). then fill out with a lot of basics.
