Survivor of the Unseen could be cool with solemnity

Spells you cast cost X less, where X is the number of counters on enchantment permanent.

In Modern, there is not a card that lets you put your whole hand on top of your library, but there are a couple cards that allow you to put a one or more cards from your hand on top of your library. Most of these, however, are not competitively viable.

Far and away, the best such card is Jace, the Mind Sculptor. However, it justifiably comes with a large pricetag. Your remaining options in Modern are rather mediocre.

• Enter the Infinite, which is both too difficult to cast and will leave you with an empty library at the end of your upkeep, causing you to loose on your draw step.
• Leashling, which is too difficult to cast in Modern.
• Riverwise Augur costs a bit too much for the effect. -Survivor of the Unseen is repeatable, but that cumulative upkeep is going to become repressive quickly.

Have you considered Soldevi Excavations or Sylvan Library? They're pretty great ways to consistently manipulate the top of your deck. Survivor of the Unseen can also get pretty out of hand, but she gets expensive pretty quick. Halimar Depths is a great way to get a quick fix, and it only takes up a land slot.

Love the idea, but it needs some work. First off before I use constructive critisism until this thing is in the dirt, let me say that I am glad that someone finally found a way to break chronozoa, thank you. Second, here are some cards that you are running that are frankly, garbage.

1. Spawning Pit Very ugly non-bo with solemnity, no charge counters, try Grinding Station.

2. Sphinx's Revelation Good card, but... you will never need 4, drop that number to 2 if you REALLY like them. If you are that concerned about drawing cards, use Blue Sun's Zenith as a better replacement.

3. Anointed Procession This is what is considered a "win more" card. You have no need for this thing at all, its only good with the combo, and it only does a little extra.

Now, about what can be done to this deck or added to it I would say should be as follows.

1. More threats. This combo is absolutely absurd, but you have a problem, you have a too small chance of drawing your pieces. Thus, you added card draw. This is a good start, but you need to make this more resilient. This can be done with cards like Geist of Saint Traft, Celestial Colonnade, or, as a possible finisher, Elspeth, Sun's Champion.

2. Elaborate on the deck's combo. This combo is an absolutely bonkers thing, especially in modern, take advantage of what Solemnity is giving you, the key to infinite combos. Add more Phyrexian Unlife, maybe slash black for a Zur the Enchanter, or Geralf's Messenger, play absurd things like Kitchen Finks, Glen Elendra Archmage, or some janky stuff like Jotun Grunt, Krovikan Whispers, or, if you want to be a major jerk, Phyrexian Soulgorger. And if you REALLY want that juicy card draw, Survivor of the Unseen, and Wall of Shards can become an OP Wall of Omens

3. Getting solemnity. This is your power-card, getting it can be the problem though, for this, I suggest Idyllic Tutor, or the aforementioned Zur.

4. However, do realize, that in order for this deck to work, it should at least be able to function without your precious Solemnity on the field.

5. Lastly, add some of white and blue's super-powers, defense. Path to Exile, Detention Sphere, Leyline of Sanctity, Worship.

In any case, this seems like an un-flushed out idea, so I suggest that you try tinkering with it some more, see how good you can make it!

Cool deck idea! Descendants' Path is an awesome card. Too bad most of the Eldrazi are not very good in Modern. Tide Drifter is only Eldrazi I can think of that you might have missed (just for its big butt).

Congregation at Dawn also seems like sweet set-up card, maybe play more over Survivor of the Unseen and Drift of Phantasms?
