Soooooo, one of the major problems I had with this deck was trying to cram too much stuff in such a tight space. The deck was trying to do too many things at once with no real way to truly get started, especially considering that Modern is such a fast format from the research I've done.
As such, I tried streamlining the main focus of the deck to just getting to Extricator of Flesh Flip online as fast as possible. The flickering stuff just kinda took away from that, especially since flickering the Extricator would simply bring him back to his Extricator of Sin Flip side. The problem is that I want to give my Eldrazi Tokens vigilance, and I'd rather have The Extricator's sac effect stem from continuously tapping him.
I also took out the Coax from the Blind Eternities strategy because, again, it took up too much space in both the main and sideboard. In addition, it just wasn't mana efficient and often contradicted what the Extricator wanted to do most of the time. Besides, if I'm not wishing for the huge and expensive Eldrazi Outer Gods, then I'm really just half-assing things.
Some changes I made include adding in Lunarch Veteran Flip, Abiding Grace, Wonder, Fateful Absence, Faithful Mending, The Birth of Meletis, Gavony Dawnguard, and Alseid of Life's Bounty. All of these cards are able to either fuel my grave to activate the Extricator's Delirium trigger, provide card advantage, provide recursion, provide prtection, or provide lifegain.
Alseid, along with Inquisitive Puppet, are noteworthy for counting as two different card types at once (artifact creature and enchantment creature) for the Extricator's Delirium requirements.
