Wednesday Modern Perfection —Feb. 8, 2017

This deck was so much fun!
Went perfect 3-0 and had a gentleman's split to go 3-0-1.
Had some great interactions with turn one Inquisition of Kozilek + Surgical Extraction . I was able to hit Glimpse the Unthinkable against Esper Mill, Champion of the Parish in Norin Sisters, and Path to Exile in Nahiri Tokens.
This followed up with a T2 Gifted Aetherborn often left the opponent unable to sneak in there T1 creature. Fatal Push also came in clutch for pesky creatures like Champion of the Parish, Hanweir Militia Captain  Flip or Hedron Crab.
Overall the deck perform exactly as planned. Even got a big 7 devotion hit on Gray Merchant of Asphodel against Nahiri Tokens. Couldn't be happier with the performance.

Round 1: Esper Mill 2-0
Round 2: Norin Sisters 2-1
Round 3: Nahiri Tokens 2-1
Round 4: Bant Company 0-0-1 (Split)

Not a bad deck. I was also working on a deck like this. My suggetion is run Bloodghast, Leyline of the Void, and Demigod of Revenge. Also I feel that Crypt Ghast is not needed.

Kevaka Thanks for the input. I am slowing coming to that realization. Crypt Ghast is more often than not a 4 cmc top deck that I don't need. Very rarely is he actually there early enough to make a difference. He also doesn't do anything when he ETB and is likely blown up next turn. I love the idea of Bloodghast. $$ But really works well with the amount of land drops and Liliana of the Dark Realms (+1) ability. Demigod of Revenge could take the place of Sheoldred, Whispering One at the top of the curve with Gray Merchant of Asphodel. I guess I would need to run at least two of Demigod in order to make its relevant.
