I'm new to this archetype, and aside from mana ramping from getting the Urza lands together, I'm not totally sure how to pilot this deck. It looks like you get the tron and tutor for something with Treasure Mage or just drop something from your hand. Is that about the long and short of it? What exactly is the main win condition?
Slaver Lock, Bomb, Burst Lock, and sometimes just beating with 2-3 2/2s
Often I win via beating with 2/2s

Sorry but how is guard gomazoa burn proof?
It only prevents combat damage.
Costing 3 vs 2 is like being a turn too slow. If you absolutely HAVE to have something that isnt spellskite, play seagate oracle or splash white for wall of omens i guess....but seriously just play spellskite.
or Kraken Hatchling or Kaijin Of The Vanishing Touch
Seagate Oracle costing 3 is what keeps it out despite being very good this isn't the deck for him

Angel straight won me two games Vs Burn so yeah it is good, taking a break from this (I'll be streaming Mono Black and some U Tron a bit, but playing RG and UWR on paper)
I am going to try and fit Karn somehow into the deck or a Jace, Trading Post was an all-star though highly recommend

Well, if you think your opponent is about to cast something problematic, just hold mana open. If you think he'll just play something that won't make a difference on the long run, cast sorcery speed things.
It's not that bad really. Of course, blue is the king of countermagic and card draw and struggles with permanents, but you can play around most things given a decent draw (not flooding/screwing).
There's no secret sauce. You gotta play a lot and know the topdecks so you can evaluate your options.
^this
I recommend watching some of the streamers replays (since a majority of them commentate), I know I faced Jund yesterday and telegraphed the turn 3 Liliana so I played around it and well Trading Post is the best!

lucashungaro is right about this card. This is the meta for it. I personally do not own Remands and won't shell any money for Modern right now, which is why I run Squelch/Trickbind split in the main.
Has anyone tried Trading Posts? I am currently running one and I never seem to draw it. I drew it one time against a burn deck and the life gain on it helped me stabilize.
Go ahead and watch my stream later tonight, I'll showcase some more power of Post, will add back in the 4th remand and likely cut 1-2 cards to fit in something I have wanted to test
I suggested this on Fizzler's stream last night, but if red and green based decks are the ones giving us the most fits... Flashfreeze is a card to try in the SB. Seems to be an almost perfect fit to our problems.
I am going to try these as well my board needs some spicing up

The good old "Remand is not a counter" discussion.
Remand is an all-star vs midrange, which is the dominant archetype right now. It's even good to save your own spells on a counter war.
I can understand you guys - I used to hate Remand, but now is one of my favorite cards.
Yes, it sucks in some matchups and that's why you have options in the SB, be it Spell Pierce, walls or whatnot. Pyroclasm/Firespout sucks vs Control, but you don't just stop playing it (if you're splashing Red) because of that.
If you want to replace it with something that's good, especially on the draw, play Spell Snare. It stops Remand, Helix, Goyf, Bob, Snapcaster, Putrid Leech, Phantasmal Image, Stony Silence, Spreading Seas, random Charms and Signets, Terminate, Ancient Grudge, Torpor Orb etc
You hit the nail on the head about Remand Vs Control and Midrange it is insane and Vs Snappy it is generally just dismiss
I had to cut one to jam a Trading post it (until I find a slot to actually cut for it), Post is insane it stalls Vs Aggro, ends the game Vs Midrange, and wins you the CA war Vs Control
As I discussed on Stream I may be PTQingnwith this Saturday depending on the amount of Tron hate I see, otherwise Esper Resto Teachings (with Gifts) will be my deck of choice

Soul Sisters can be tough if they get an active Ascendant on turn 2, that said all you really need is Angel or O Stone to win, they run very little removal (4 Paths sometimes 3) and go into top deck rather quickly, basically counter their pridemates and Ascendants to win

Well, blue is the best color to combat combo IHMO (with white being a close second place), so I don't think Twin is that bad. Infect and Burn have given me a lot of trouble.
Same, I have better luck with Zoo than Burn
3-1'd the daily a quick report
Lost 0-2 vs Jund:
Misplay game 1 not keeping my wurmcoil after he ultimate's Liliana (clicked the wrong pile), get destroyed game 2
Beat Experiment Domain Zoo 2-1
Lose game 1 and win games 2-3 on the backs of Wurmcoil and Titan
Beat RG Aggro 2-1
See Experiment Domain Zoo save I misplay and lose game 1
Beat Grixis w/Green 2-1
Misplay game 1 by using Treasure Mage to fetch Sundering Titan, destroy him games 2-3 with said Titan though and a promptu Mindslaver lock ends game 3 with him have 3 cards in hand and 1 land in play
Glad this RG deck is getting popular on MTGO the deck is a turn slower than most Aggro decks and very favorable because counters are extremely relevant vs them, Stormblood Berserker is a problem though don't let it resolve!
