I was going through some cards I had and Chasm Skulker intrigued me so I tried to make a Modern Deck based around it. I mostly play casually with friends but wanted to try going to some of my local game stores and playing modern so I wanted some suggestions on this deck and what is good or bad about it.Just as a note I put Wonder into maybe. It is not legal in Modern but when I play casually i find more use for it than Herald of Secret Streams
Spells:
So Chasm Skulker is the basis of the deck and one of the big ways to generate counters.
Bioshift + Fathom Mage
allow me to drop counters over and expand my hand while buffing chasm skulker, or at least maintaining his size if the counters originated from him.
Chasm Skulker + Hardened Scales
is meant to practically double the counters put onto chasm skulker since I read that each card drawn triggers his ability a separate time so each counter put on by drawing essentially counts for the additional counter.
Dissolve and Negate are just for control and to protect any low toughness creature before they get counters on them.
Kiora, the Crashing Wave provides similar control and allows me to prevent some damage to keep me going until my counters amass.
Life's Legacy allows me to pop a Chasm Skulker for tokens while simultaneously buffing other Chasm Skulkers and expanding my hand by a large degree.
Chasm Skulker + Master Biomancer
provides a great base for any creature coming out and bioshift can quickly give him a large number of counters. Additionally when a Chasm skulker dies all of the squids spawned from it are much more of a threat.
Mind Spring and Urban Evolution provide draws for Chasm Skulker without having to sacrifice a creature. Urban evolution also provides some possible additional mana though I feel like its replaceable there are probably better cards.
Primordial Hydra Great with constantly doubling counters and eventually trample. Bioshift also works well with him whether its to remove some for other affects or putting more on since they will double and it will gain trample.
Herald of Secret Streams is mostly to ensure I can deal damage. I feel like there is probably something better though since flying on all creatures would help more against flying decks since I dont have much reach.
Vorel of the Hull Clade is purely there to double counters and help trigger affects like fathom mages or make Master Biomancer that much better. Overall just a good counter card for fairly cheap.
Lands:
Temple of Mystery provides mixed land with scry.
Evolving Wilds ensures i get both colors.
Reliquary Tower helps make sure I dont waste half of the deck with a big draw
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
