Going for a budget custom control deck with the win-con being a swarm of flyers. Please let me know what you would change as this is my first time going into modern. Cheers.
Fist thing that stands out is the Ionize. It's a really slow counterspell. I'd switch those out for 1 Remand and 1 Mana Leak. Wizard's Retort should probably be Force of Negation.
The Winged Words and Favorable Winds are so circumstantial that they would be better just being something else. I get the magical christmas land where you have 2 of them out and make a lot of 3/3s. But this style deck wins by achieving inevitably. Think about the games you lost because you drew Favorable Winds but didn't have a flier. Invocation is also not very good here. That makes 7 slots. Sprite Dragon should take the spot of 3 of them. 4 slots could be Monasteries Swiftspear. It's one of the best creatures in modern.
I'd take out an island and a mountain for 2 Reflecting Pool.
That's about all the changes I'd make right now. Then I'd look and see what's performing and what isn't to make changes from there.
