@Icbrgr: Summoner's Pact because you can often win the turn you would want to cast it. I'd also back it up with 3~4 Lead the Stampede. I've found Collected Company and other stuff that dumps elves into play just not worth it when you're only getting 1 and 2 CMC dorks.

I've played elves in Modern before:

My conclusion wasn't speed or consistency, but just how badly you lose to any deck with red in it. Lightning Bolt on Elvish Archdruid on turn two ends the game. Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer flipping a mana dork for them to cast ends the game. Wrenn and Six sniping a creature each turn ends the game. And God have mercy on you if your opponent casts a Pyroclasm or Anger of the Gods or Kozilek's Return.

The good news is Fury was banned. The bad news is not much else has changed. Priest of Titania is still going to die to burn spells and there's nothing to be done about it.

tl;dr--only play elves if your meta has no red decks.

SpectraDevil on Dragons

The problem with that is Anger of the Gods and its not a dragon. We want to be killing off any small threats in order to buy enough time to ramp into our big, scary, evasive dragons.

I suppose I shouldn't just make fun of ChatGPT. If I designed an Izzet lifegain deck (sticking with Modern-legal to match this), it would be more artifact-centric. Kraken's Eye, Dragon's Claw, and something like Pristine Talisman provide the bulk of the lifegain. Aetherflux Reservoir is still a good finisher. Sleep and Anger of the Gods control creatures. Add in some cheap, recursive spells like Flame Jab and Otherworldly Gaze, and I, in my very un-humble opinion, would call that the core of a more pure Izzet lifegain deck. (This is very much a rough outline, at the brainstorming stage.)

I'm going to toss in some exile effects. Anger of the Gods, Crush the Weak, and even Underworld Fires and Yamabushi's Storm can clear a board and slow down graveyard decks while leaving all but your smallest creatures alive and fighting.

Icbrgr on Temporary Lockdown

I am wondering what peoples opinion is on Temporary Lockdown for Modern.

I have a Jeskai homebrew that is looking for a one sided sweeper effect and this seems like its could be a nice fit.

But regardless of the synergy with my own deck list I was wondering if this effect would be better than something like Anger of the Gods/Sweltering Suns due to it being able to hit noncreatures like Wrenn and Six/Welding Jar ect ect. as well as BIG RHINO TOKENS

TheoryCrafter on FLING THE BURN

Have you considered Soul-Scar Mage? This will not only give them Wither, it will practically make most of your instants, sorceries and activated abilities board wipes once All Will Be One enters the battlefield.

May I also recommend cards that don't target including, but not limited to Anger of the Gods, Blazing Volley and Scouring Sands to get around cards that grant some sort of Hexproof, Protection, Shroud and/or Ward?

Plus, with all the looting going on you may want to consider cards with Flashback(including, but not limited to Increasing Vengeance, Past in Flames and Seize the Storm) and Madness(including, but not limited to, Avacyn's Judgment and Fiery Temper).

Other cards to consider are Bearer of the Heavens(if you're feeling really spiteful), Burning Anger and Toralf, God of Fury  ^Flip.

I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Yeah, this is definitely a casual deck and I did mention it is a bit too slow for the format it is in, but unfortunately since the deck revolves around Manabarbs and Fires of Invention, there's not much wiggle room to lower the MV of the deck. I've considered replacing Burn Down the House and Hour of Devastation with cheaper removal (Flamebreak/Anger of the Gods), but I had a lot trouble with Tarmogorf and planeswalkers like Wrenn and Six. Do you have any suggestions?
