I am looking for a list with all the cards that give card advantage in Modern over you opponent by either being a cantrip and drawing you a card like Gitaxian Probe, have two lives like Kitchen finks or Thagtusk or cards that allow you to draw multiple cards like Divination or even cards that make your opponent discard like mind rot.
If anyone knows anything like that even attempted to be constructed into a helpful list i would like to know.
Help greatly appreciated.
PS. If you need to ask, yes i have Googled and read many articles but haven't found anything worthy.
There amount of cards that net advantage is huge, I don't think there's a "list" floating around.
And some of the bets cards in modern don't really get you advantage. Strictly speaking, a Vendilion Clique doesn't get you card advantage. It replaces the card it rips off, yet it's such a powerful card. Don't get too focused on making everything a cantrip.

If your looking to build a modern card advantage deck, this I suggest just finding the list of top decks and looking at the one that gives good card advantage. Play test it in the field against the other decks and see how you feel about the cards. If one card isn't good enough, look at similar cards in gatherer or look at similar deck lists in other formats. I think what your really looking for is a "card replacement" list for a specific deck. There are too many factors to consider for one clear list of card advantage. Is it a permanent? Is it in the right colors? Is the casting cost greater or less than the current cost? A lot of good playable cards are not used because of the current meta game.

Cascade is built in card advantage, cards like Mentor of the Meek have their built in advantages....it depends on what colors you want, cascade into Divination seems good to me. Or old trusty, Bloodbraid Elf into Blightning
