Tron uses steel hellkite? I thought after the 'drazi, they ran no creatures.

I tried that in my dredge deck. I ended up deciding it was a massive waste of two mana and a dredge, and the fact that Blood moon murders my deck makes it even less enjoyable.

I have been working on a LD deck for some time, and I think I have something that is pretty potent. The annoying part is that I started the deck as GRW, getting extra steam from BBE, but after a few months of testing I have a BRG that looks quite similar to Jund. It is not Jund (I call it 'Scorched Earth'), but I am pretty sure if i just listed the deck in Deck Creation without a name people would call it LD Jund. That annoys me...U
Anyway, it can really tear a board apart. Cockatrice players seem to dislike it...loudly.
My next project, and one that I have dabbled with before, is to make use of the Detain mechanic to make a control stasis like deck that works. The one I was working on is ending up more Midrange than control, but I really want to crack the Modern Control code.
I started out my ld with Naya too but it simply didn't work. I tried to use bbe too but realized that without any relevant 1-2 drop, it felt too slow. The mana curve was just to high and mana dorks has been proven to be pretty unsafe to rely on.
Basically you use a face up Brine Elemental and a Vesuvan shapeshifter to make sure your opponent doesn't get an untap step.
Every time I muster up the courage to work on a list I get lazy shortly after..

They call me Hank Hill because I bring the pro-pain.
Definitely manabase-denial through Blood Moon or a deck like Spread 'Em. Jund is the best deck in the format right now, and in 4 different colors with the addition of Lingering Souls to many lists. Seems like a solid enough meta choice. I just need to find the inspiration to make a sound list.
Polymorph seems like it's just waiting to be abused by grabbing out Emrakul or Griselbrand out of the library. I mean, the drawback is basically "you have to play Lingering Souls", which you'd want to do anyways in some kind of esper strategy, and it allows for a backup plan of Sworded tokens.
EDIT: Also, I've been brewing with Heartless Summoning and Enduring Renewal, and I've got quite a list there. I've been sitting on it for some time, getting all the details down, but I'll probably post in a few days.

I've been playing a Master Transmuter deck for now. I play Lightning Greaves and Spellskites. Those cards help alot to get Master Transmuter going and protecting her and your bombs. The deck can definitley work. Trinket Mage helped as well, fetching pithing needle, spellbomb, explosives and relic.

Don't bother with heartless summoning in a MTransmuter deck. It's better to have the accelerators and like Mind Stone or Etherium Sculptor as a reducer alongside Grand Architect. Steel Hellkite seems decent, moreso with Lightning Greaves. Transmuting Sphinx Summoners is where its at usually. Treasure Mage is decent as SSummoner 5-6 as he can at least fetch Mind Slaver or you could just run 1-2 Fabricate. I tried Talisman of Dominance but I preferred Mind Stone as it can be pitched to draw in a pinch. MTransmuter is probably the most fun Ive had in Modern since the formats inception.

Birds would be awful, you could polymorph into it. You probably want hand disruption in your first few turns rather than acceleration because a turn 3 polymorph blind is definitely a lot worse than a turn 4 polymorph against a crippled opponent with a known hand.

I made a Haunted Kithkin deck not too long ago, and it had quite a bit of game against a lot of decks:

You're blowing my mind, man. I completely missed that interaction.
Maybe this deck can be something after all..
Travis Woo has already done that with his Epic Experiment build in Standard - wouldn't take much to bring it to Modern.
Already a deck! Look for it in deck creation.

I tried something like this. It was UB Heartless Summoning, Master Transmuter, Grand Architect. Treasure Mage and Trinket Mage for fetching along Spellskite for protection.
Win cons were: Blightsteel Colossus, Wurmcoil Engine and Steel Hellkite.
It was a fun deck but it felt too standard for my taste.
