The Quest Has Begun! —May 29, 2015
So, time to build the deck!
After FNM (Click here for that result), I traded in 2 Soulfire Grandmasters for 10$ cash, and followed that up with a pack of MM2. Long story short, pulled a Bitterblossom, traded it for a Sword of Light and Shadow, and the quest is on!
What I still need:
3 Remand
1 Worship
Total Value: $747.31
I sure do have a long way to go!
bigguy99 I'm unsure about that, to be honest. It has usually been a dead draw. I might drop them to get another sword and 2 more lands.

That's actually exactly what I was getting at - I was a bit shocked, frankly, to see three of the card in the deck. I think what you've done to balance the numbers is fine (I really like adding two more lands) - but Sword of Body and Mind is just bad in Modern. I'd go up to three Remands, down to three Mana Leaks, and add another KotR and Myth Realized. I think that adds up to 60 (after taking the sword out).

I would suggest not running Myth realized, this deck can't capitalize on it and it isn't even that great of a card - especially not with swords because he won't stay equipped. I think 1 Sphinx's Revelation is fine and will work well with the amount of ramp you run. For the other two slots try running 2 Qasali Pridemage for the extra reach and exalted bonus.
I would also suggest dropping Sword of Light and Shadow, unless your creatures die it isn't useful. Instead I highly highly recommend that you run 1 Batterskull mainboard. You can play it turn 3 off a cobra and a fetch land.

3 Sphinx's Revelation? Most decks that use the card ever run more than 2 and they're usually running at least 25 lands. I can't imagine you'll ever get too much out of it on 21 and if you do it'd be super late into the game.
