Dragon's Claw might work as a good sideboard card against burn and RDW. It's not an enchantment, but it also doesn't tax you for using it like Circle of Protection: Red does.

Unless you're running Eidolon of Rhetoric for something other than storm, I'd say Surgical Extraction works great for you- I even run it off color sometimes.

With all of these etb effects, you might look into Flickerwisp or Restoration Angel or something of the like.

Daybreak Coronet works great if you get more invested in an aura strategy. Spirit Mantle is another great aura, and Kor Spiritdancer does awesome things with them.

Concerning the Circle of Protection: Red I plan on replacing it as soon as I can with a Leyline of Sanctity to help against burn and things like Thoughtsieze

The biggest reason for Eidolon of Rhetoric is because at my LGS many people are a BIG fan of infect and the Eidolon really helps me slow them down.

The Flickerwisp is something that I like the look of, those pings with Grim Guardian really add up if the game gets long. I also have thought about putting a few more Aura's in and those two would fit in pretty nicely.

I've always wanted to drop a Tatterkite against an opponent running infect... If infect has you down, try undercosted phyrexian removal like Dismember. Who cares about your life total?

Oh the infect isn't much of a problem as of late, when I first started a few months ago I thought it was the most broken thing around... since I made this deck infect players hate me because of the combinations of Eidolon of Rhetoric, Path to Exile, and Celestial Flare

If you're worried about burn, you could try out Kor Firewalker. He's not an enchantment, but he doesn't tax you, either. I would also try fitting in Kor Spiritdancer as well just because the card draw is nuts and it can get pretty big.

Do cards like Kor Firewalker and Dragon's Claw really help that much against burn? I didn't think that one life could help that much, but maybe I'm wrong about it.

What they do is make Lightning Bolt only deal two damage. Even the best tuned burn decks run out of fuel after a while, and hitting them in the direct damage hurts them a lot.

It certainly slows them down, and the gaining one life certainly adds up in the long run. Basically all Bolts deal 2, and he can still attack. Good budget replacement for Leyline. But you might not need Leyline since Burn plays Destructive Revelry.

Hmm okay... what about other very common modern decks? As I said I'm very new to Magic so I'm not sure what all the top type modern decks are and what I could try to do to counter them.

I like Wear / Tear better personally... Redundancy might just be your friend if burn is prevalent in your meta. Red sure does like its removal. The thing I like about Kor Firewalker and Dragon's Claw is that they don't just hose burn decks. I see goblin tribal and RDW all around locally.

Ahh, part of the reason for the Surgical Extraction I take it? I certainly see how it could screw with a lot of different decks especially theme and combo ones.

Is this just going to be a paper deck or do you intend on playing it online? I can't speak for your local meta, but there are plenty of resources about the global meta. I like to peruse MTG Salvation's modern forum from time to time to see what's going on there.

This is for my LGS which, I think, I have a decent idea of what most of the regular people are playing, problems arise when one of the old vets or a new person shows up with something off the wall.

Maybe the deck could also use some hand disruption like Thoughtseize and Inquisition of Kozilek. Anyways, I know Splinter Twin and Abzan are doing very well right now. Not sure about Abzan, but you've got the Illness in the Ranks for Twin. It's really just a meta call though.

Guess Illness in the Ranks was a better idea than I thought. To be honest I only threw it in there because I was annoyed by a few friends love of Lingering Souls

Speaking of Abzan, have you considered splashing green? Eidolon of Blossoms is great with decks like this, Melira, Sylvok Outcast absolutely stops infect in its tracks, and Abrupt Decay is excellent removal... Just to name a few ways you could benefit.

That's not a bad idea. However, this is budget but you could do it in the future. If you don't want to buy the Thoughtseizes, IOK or Duress might be enough since Anger of the Gods and/or Volcanic Fallout would do terrible things.

Eidolon of Blossoms is something I would really consider splashing for, would help with one of my bigger issues that is sitting around with an empty hand just hoping I draw into something. It also seems like it could open up quite a few options in the deck. Any suggestions for what could be removed and/or added? Archetype of Courage is something I've thought about cutting out as he isn't as useful as he was when I was first building the deck. Brain Maggot could also really easily be cut for either of the earlier mentioned discard cards.

NoPantsParade while it's on Tappedout I might as well ignore costs because even piece by piece I'll probably end up making the final version of this deck, and it's easy to forget stuff if I exclude cards out of my budget for the time.

Brain Maggot does synergize but it can easily be removed. I don't think Archetype of Courage is needed either.

Would Courser of Kruphix be worth anything if I did add green? Seems like he could be useful with the life gain, knowing what I'll be drawing, and with Eidolon of Blossoms

Also maybe trade out the Spirit Link/Vampiric Link with Daybreak Coronet/Spirit Mantle?

Not sure just by looking at it, honestly.

Unless hexproof is a big issue in your meta, Celestial Flare can be cut for less conditional removal.

I'd look at including more flicker if you're keeping constellation as a major part of this deck. Cloudshift works... And Whip of Erebos might be worth looking at if for nothing else but the lifelink.

Only reason I keep Celestial Flare is Bogle is another one of the types of deck I play against a lot at FNM.I had looked at Whip of Erebos previously but lifegain hasn't really been an issue at all up until this point. I might look into it a bit more if I do add more things like Thoughtseize

Which matchups have you played that feel weak with the current deck list? What do you think should be improved?
