Just getting back into magic after a nearly 2 year break, and since I sold all my Legacy stuff and don't have any enough Standard, I thought I'd take a crack at Modern. I was looking over the decklists and saw this... looks pretty sweet. Seeing the amount of nonbasic lands in this format, looks like Blood Moon could kill a lot of decks (if you can get it our vs Mono U Tron... night night).... and Simian Spirit Guide vs counters that say "Pay x" and given your mana setup, if you're one shy.. LOL! 'Course it's kinda a one-trick-pony, but still.
Just coming back after playing primarily Legacy for the past few years, I'm not too up on all the other archetypes, but this deck looks like it can pack some surprises.
I'm not up on online magic gaming, but I'll sleeve up a version for my locals FNM (Friday Night Modern) and see how it does.
Also, I believe Molten Rain still does 2 damage to your opponent if you hit their nonbasic land modified by Blood Moon, unless there's been a rule change that I missed.
I'm glad you think Liliana of the Veil is cheap. Maybe you have some extras you could let me have for a good price
I've got a trade in the works for the Thoughtseizes once Theros hits, but 4 Lili's are still out of my budget atm.

Ash Zealot, Grim Lavamancer and Figure of Destiny... in place of that setup, why not toss in a mix of Keldon Marauders, Hellspark Elementals and (wait for it....) Tunnel Ignus(?). If you get Ignus out early vs any deck with Fetches and little to no directed removal it can be a quick game.
