Quick Info
Here, we have a very aggressive Modular/Affinity style aggro deck that can drop Ascendancy for an alternative win. This seems like the logical evolution of Scales-Affinity, as Ascendancy can win through any creature stop gaps like Ensnaring Bridge.
Module is sometimes an unneeded card that gets sac'd to Ravager, and other times part of an engine that feeds the deck. If you're not going off in another method, Module+Overseer starts pumping out an army like Thopter Foundry, with each iteration growing in power. Module+Ravager can also get going adding a counter to Ravager/Ascendancy for {1}.
Of course, this is a slow approach, and Throne definitely has a much more immediate impact.
It also has a strong on turn impact if you don't have anything to drop or add a counter.
I'll definitely test it out.
I'm not sold on cutting Module completely, but I am sold on Throne's potency.
