I've done some playtesting with this and against it, I have some suggestions.Right now its biggest issue is not having a strong early game. 2/2's are ripe for removal, and every modern deck will have a fetchland sitting waiting to cast Path to Exile or Fatal Push whatever creature you get out there first. I like Knight of Sursi as a turn one play, but it still doesn't get you anything on the board. I'd recommend a one drop creature. Dauntless Bodyguard stays in tribal and is pretty nice, but is more of a later turn benefit with his ability. Deftblade Elite may work well in attracting targets for an aggro deck, since he has a built in Lure. Kytheon, Hero of Akros  ^Flip comes to mind as well.. Knight of the White Orchid is a pretty standard modern card, and you can always use ramp. I'm not a fan of Suq'Ata Lancer, I'd look more into ways of getting you bigger drop guys out there. I'd add some card draw Dragon Mantle helps with that and devotion.

Good build, the stacking flanking looks like it can add up quickly. I'm curious if the banding mechanic works well with flanking. Stinks that Jabari's Banner and Telim'Tor are banned in modern. Maybe this could work better as a legacy deck?

Also with the addition of Nemesis Mask, I absolutely need Suq'Ata Lancer. I can't see how I take out red without damaging the consistency this has without cycle.

For the name: Mr. Toilet

For the deck: a bunch of red flanking creatures: Blazing Blade Askari, Burning Shield Askari, Searing Spear Askari, Bogardan Lancer, Suq'Ata Lancer, with more original ideas to come later.

I think your best bet is flanking tribal. That is all he does... And things like Darksteel Plate and Whispersilk Cloak so he doesn't die when attacking, and Strionic Resonator for a total of +2/+2. I know. Wow.

Unfortunately there are only 8 red cards with flanking, including Telim'Tor. Agility, Blazing Blade Askari, Burning Shield Askari, Suq'Ata Lancer, Bogardan Lancer, Jabari's Banner and Searing Spear Askari. That is significantly less than 99 cards.

Telim'Tor theme deck is also far fetched. Only 8 cards that mention him in flavor text, 5 of which you can play, and 3 of those I've mentioned or you already have (Suq'Ata Lancer, Telim'Tor's Darts, and Telim'Tor himself. So go ahead and add the terrible cards known as Razor Pendulum and Diamond Kaleidoscope.

I think you've dug yourself too deep on this one. Maybe do unplayable card tribal. TheManaSource on youtube has a series called Worst Cards Ever. Just play everything he talks about.
