Saturday Modern Tournament —May 21, 2016
Three rounds with eight players, best of three hands
First round: Versus Green/Red Heavy Hitters
Won hand 1 with Ajani's Chosen + Blasting Station + Enchanted Evening
. Hand 2 was lost after some artifact destruction and advanced development; It took nearly twenty turns. Hand 3 was drawn with Pariah + Stuffy Doll
after using Enchanted Evening + Scour
on the opponent's Forests.
Second Round: Versus White/Green Exalted (Pro-Tour)
This deck was a sponsored deck made of signed cards from a Pro-Tour group. The player running it had a sponsorship and swept the round with combat, each time by turn four.
Third Round: Versus Mono-Green Creatures
I swept both hands with the Cat-Cannon.
Overall I scored 4/9 points and placed Fourth.

Elvish Spirit guide is not allowed in Modern.
I would use a set of Simian Spirit Guide but the maths of the deck rely heavily on a probability curve. Adding four more cards would drop the probability of drawing something important by almost 1%.
I know this sounds like a silly reason not to add them but at present this deck has a 10% probability to win from the opening hand and each card drawn improves my odds of securing the winning combination by 1% (to put it another way, by turn ten I have a 20% probability of winning assuming I have not yet completed the combo).
As a point of reference this deck has a 33% probability to Draw the game from the opening hand which is a huge factor in protecting my score during a tournament.

Not gonna lie I originally just wanted to say "has just been revoked!" But after reading the description I really dig the deck philosophy ... Neat deck building +1 from me

Thank you so much Icbrgr! The inspiration for making this deck was when I found Rule 104.4b; I pretty much fell in love with uninterruptible, mandatory actions.

Add Simian Spirit Guide and Elvish Spirit Guide beacuse most of your combo pieces are 5 mana
