Thank you for your Feedback DreadKhan! Indeed, the question is related to my pseudo 8-Rack deck haha, and you are fully right. After playtesting the deck, I have noticed the importance of an explosive first turn (Tempo) and the need to play out at least two Chains constantly. Not sure about the mana base yet, and the possibility to run Raven's Crime which needs more swamps. Do you have any suggestions regarding the inclusion of that card? My feeling is that its dredge effect is great but playing only swamps does not seem right in a Legacy deck which is a very fast Format.

You might have fun with Muraganda Petroglyphs. I count 7 cards including your commander that create token creatures with no added text.
With the build you have here, I could see a lot of potential for ever more Retrace mechanics shenanigans. Six is huge, but you could add more lands to the graveyard through Raven's Crime, or Formless Genesis, or Worm Harvest.

Great question, seshiro_of_the_orochi! When I initially built this some 10 years ago Thoughtseize was indeed kept out due to it's price point. It was quite a staple at the time in Standard during Theros block too!
But the main reason it doesn't come in nowadays is the life point defecit for casting. With the speed of Modern and the very precarious position life can be in at the end of a game every 2 life points matter.
Inquisition of Kozilek and Extirpate both fill a similar outcome to Thoughtseize. If someone were looking to use it however I would say you could drop Cry of Contrition and a single Raven's Crime to put three of them into the deck :)

Two options:
- Glimpse of Nature signature
or
- Raven's Crime signature
happy brewing ;)
EDIT: Try to make it as degenerate and combo-y as possible, please

Some thoughts:
-
the deck really needs the playset of Hedron Crab to help get the engine going - there’s a reason thus archtype is most-often called “crabvine”.
-
you need the full playset of Stinkweed Imp.
-
Rotting Rats, Grisly Salvage, Life from the Loam and Raven's Crime are all fairly bad here in that they’re relatively slow/clumsy for the deck (and a lot of them don’t proc the Vengevine reanimation triggers). Good replacements for those cards include the full playset of Satyr Wayfinder, as well as Merfolk Secretkeeper, Otherworldly Gaze, and maybe The Ancient One

Tergrid Sac Discard Draw help please

Ok, so here's a few top picks (imho) for Tergrid, God of Fright Flip.
Oppression, Liliana, Waker of the Dead, Rankle, Master of Pranks, Living Death, Delirium Skeins, Innocent Blood, Cunning Lethemancer, Bottomless Pit, Necrogen Mists, Words of Waste, Smokestack, Sword of Feast and Famine & Chains of Mephistopheles (just proxy it lol)
There's also a lot of cheaper options that are just as synergistic like Plaguecrafter, Demon's Disciple, Raven's Crime, Hymn to Tourach, Mind Twist, Mind Shatter, Mind Slash & Sadistic Hypnotist.
Outside of the synergy pieces, I'd recommend replacing some of those low-power pieces like Bad Deal & Inevitable End with value pieces like Dark Ritual & Vampiric Tutor for greater consistency.
