Cloudpost crazy strong. Between 12 Locuses (because Vesuva) and many ways of searching out lands, it can ramp faster and harder and more consistently than anything else in the format. It pretty much crushes any other go-large strategy, and double Glimmerpost off of a way-ahead-of-curve Prime Time means it's very difficult to race.

Could be I am the only one out there, but in my opinion, Summer Bloom is fine in Modern. I have never played Bloom Titan, though I have certainly played against it, and I think the deck is an excellent "wild card" to have around. By no means unbeatable, complex, not the easiest to play well, can make for some interesting games.
Otherwise, your list looks pretty good at the moment.
Rethinking it, I don't think my earlier posts indicated a want of Modern. I think I want to create a new, more catered format, separate from Modern and other formats, designed for slightly more casual and new players graduating out of Standard, who want a bigger card pool but not the level of complexity and oppression of more casual strategies larger formats tend to bring. I'm not sure if it's possible, but I think that such a format, rather than using a banned list, would use lists of cards that are included that is built up over time, and be a good bit more restrictive of weirder or purposefully retired mechanics and color-pie tweaks or breaks. I think I might get started on it soon, but I'm not sure what the best tool to use for it, or the best place to post it's lists would be.

Attention! We're holding our first tournament! This tournament is for early results, and will not have prize support (although future tournaments will). It will start this Monday, March 20th. You can sign up here. If you do sign up, please make sure that you register your deck here (if you aren't in the discord, please put your MTGS username).
I left the group because I personally believe against the wacky philosophy of this current proposed banned list, but don't worry. Once I'm done with my exams, I'll propose a format with a banned list.
I also think summer bloom would be OK to unban. I played that deck and it was fun and hard to play. It was also very beatable.
Why is dark depths unbanned? That card should never be unbanned in my opinion.
I play on paper not online so I can't be in your event, but with the exception of dark depths I think it looks like a good banlist and would be a format I would want to play. Good luck with the tournament. Will top 8 deck lists get posted?
