Balaam__ on My Silly Azorius Enchantment Modern Deck

As a general rule of thumb, lands that enter tapped are worse than ones that don’t. Modern has a plethora of {WU} lands that enter play in a useable state, so there are plenty of better options than Valgavoth's Lair. They can be expensive though, so if Flooded Strand or Hallowed Fountain are too costly, try something like Glacial Fortress or Hengegate Pathway  ^Flip or Seachrome Coast.

Regarding fetch lands: there's an old saying "deck thinning is deck winning" which comes from the idea that the fewer lands there in a deck, the more likely you are to draw cards that improve your game-state. This is [probably] not actually true, but they probably don't necessitate adding more lands to compensate for their sacrifice. Personally, my issue is that a fetch+shock land costing 3 life for 1 untapped land is just too steep for most decks. Like, I'm not into giving my opponent a free Lightning Bolt if I can avoid it. That said, I'm quite certain I'm in the minority on that position. There are, however, still many options when it comes to dual lands. I prefer fast, slow, and pathway lands. (Seachrome Coast, Deserted Beach, and Hengegate Pathway  ^Flip, respectively.

I'd be very tempted to run 2-3 copies Enlightened Tutor as it gets you both Torpor Orb and your beatstick creatures. Might as well take advantage of that splash of white!

Well, I agree that additional dual lands are good, but Port Town is one of the worst. I'd suggest maybe 2x Cavern of Souls as you are heavy on spirits, and replace Port Town with 4x Seachrome Coast, and add 4x Adarkar Wastes. Probably 2x to 4x Hengegate Pathway  ^Flip would also be useful. I'd also add 2x Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire, 1x Otawara, Soaring City, and 2x Mutavault as your Supreme Phantom anthem will apply to an activated Mutavault because it is "all creature types."

I don't see any removal and that's needed in Pioneer. Probably 3x or 4x Get Lost would help. Probably 2x Sheltered by Ghosts would also be useful and would be great protection for your Spell Queller.

Honestly, I'd lose the 3x Lunarch Veteran  ^Flip, max out on Spell Queller and add 2x Mockingbird.

Just some thoughts-- hope this helps! +1 from me!

I would add that Curious Obsession is a good card, but I don't know that it is great in this deck. Try it out, but I could see cutting it to make room for the removal.

As far as I’m aware, Drogskol Captain isn’t Pioneer legal so that will need to be swapped out. Otherwise, you may want to reconsider running Temple of Enlightenment. Scry, while useful, comes at the cost of the land entering tapped which puts you at a disadvantage regarding speed. Ideally you want to tap the land for use the very turn it enters play.

Since fetchlands or shocklands aren’t legal in Pioneer, I’d recommend doubling down on Glacial Fortress-type lands, such as Prairie Stream or maybe Seachrome Coast. The requirements to enter play untapped can be easily met (minor adjustments to your mana base may be necessary), and you’ll gain the benefit of a dual land without putting yourself behind the curve.

The current landbases don't prevent the 5c goodstuff from happening. That's no reason to withhold them. Duals would be equally vulnerable to Blood Moon as fetches and shocks are.

Meta impact: Burn would drop win% if shocks weren't needed anymore, because players would have more life in their fetch-manabase.

The best argument made is that, with the duals legal in the format, there's no reason for other interesting two-color lands anymore. Pioneer is already reduced to shocklands (Hallowed Fountain ), fastlands (Seachrome Coast ), painlands (Adarkar Wastes ) and pathways (Hengegate Pathway  ^Flip ), with the occasional Deserted Beach-type lands for slower decks. Introduce the duals there, and nobody would care for Pathways anymore. Not much added to the format, just some possible play patterns eliminated because they'd've been "strictly bettered" and homogenized out of the format.

Not necessarily too powerful in their effect, just boring in their consistency, in a way that can't be fixed in the future.

I think I might favor Tocasia's Welcome over Collected Company here, though Welcome would be even better if your bounce effects could happen on your opponent's turns. Ephemerate isn't quite as repeatable as Soulherder, but it is cheaper to cast, though not a creature spell itself. There's also the classic Restoration Angel, but that seems too high MV and only a one time use. Saltskitter seems interesting, but not particularly reliable. Eldrazi Displacer would be great if it didn't require 3 mana to activate. Thraben Doomsayer doesn't give the all the benefits of a bounce, but token generation is still a powerful trigger with Soul Sisters. If any of those made the cut, then I'd say you didn't need Blue spells at all, which would make your mana base faster, cheaper, and more reliable.

I think Speaker of the Heavens is a pretty perfect fit with Soul Sisters.

While on principle, I like protecting permanents, I think Patch Up might be strong enough that removing your creatures could prove more helpful to you than to your opponents - something that usually frustrates the hell out of me.

I'm not convinced shock and fetch are the best lands. While the lifeloss is less painful when counterbalanced with Soul Sisters' lifegain, it also negates some of the advantage of gaining life. Equally efficient lands that don't cost life would be better. Pathways and fast lands seem, at least to me, just as good if not better: Barkchannel Pathway  ^Flip, Branchloft Pathway  ^Flip, Hengegate Pathway  ^Flip, Seachrome Coast, Razorverge Thicket, Botanical Sanctum

• Poppet Stitcher  ^Flip Is great when you have 1/1s but bad if they do anything more. Prowess is an ability so you tokens wouldn't be as strong. 3 mana is also fairly espensive. We would want to slow the game down more. I might suggest Luminarch Ascension being this is a value control deck. It helps keep card advantage and if you are holding mana you can sink it here at the end step.
• Manamorphose also seems pretty good in the deck its a spell that gives you your mana back/fixes it into any of your needed colors and is card neutral.
• Hard Evidence might be replaced with Slight of Hand or Serum Visions being you want to filter your deck better.
• You are sitting a 8 fetchlands i wouldnt go past 6, 6 shock lands is also high Jeskai control is current running 7 fetch and 3 shock lands.
• Consider Mystic Gate Castle Vantress Celestial Colonnade 1x Raugrin Triome Hall of Storm Giants 1x Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire The creature lands can help close games or stall games when needed.They also are more evasive which can help. Utility lands are worth it they really help. Fiery Islet and Sunbaked Canyon can also help draw cards and filter. I run 5 in my burn deck.
• I also think 6 basics is a lot i would only do 2-3 personally. Espically when Seachrome Coast Inspiring Vantage and Spirebluff Canal exist.
• Spectral Procession is a good value card to think about, Lingering Souls is also a card but i wouldnt go that route personally.
• Boros Charm is also a great card that can protect against board wipes or give some burst with a mentor token or just give you the needed reach to close some games.
• Let me know if you want me to look at the deck some more

I'd consider switching some Glimmervoids for Seachrome Coasts. You're almost entirely a two color deck, and hands that rely on glimmervoid for land one or two can be very fragile. Don't get rid of all of them because of courier and intervention, but I'd cut down. For Dispatch, I'd swap out some number of welding jar or heroic intervention, simply because you don't really want 5 of that effect. I'd also swap out Hotshot Mechanic for anything else, since you don't get any benefit from its effect. Steel Overseer would be my suggestion, but I'd also peruse some modern affinity lists for ideas. Maybe consider Treasure Vault in the mana base to color fix, ramp, and add a bunch artifacts for affinity. Also, Arcbound Ravager is pretty much a staple for this type of deck. Mechtitan is kind of taking its spot in this list, but the ability to move the counters around after blocking for no mana is very powerful.
