Let me present myself. I have been lurking here for a while already. Maybe for the last couple of months or so. I really love Modern and the amount of possiblities it presents, that's why I was drawn to this Deck through the sheer awesomeness of doing what Blue does best. Both this Deck and Elves have motivated me to finally say something. Hope I am able to contribute to this thread!
This Deck really is a blast to play, whether win or lose. As said, I have been trying this Deck for two months or so, so I want to share my list and see if anybody has inputs on it. It is still in "beta", as I want to get a better grasp for it before doing many changes, though so far I feel I am able to handle it.
I know, I need 1 Mikokoro (which I haven't been able to find). So far, the matchup I have the most problems (and which is abundant in my local meta) is Infect. Thankfully so far the locals are only starting to pick up Eldrazi, so I have no idea how this fares against them. I also, seeing a post a page back, am thinking of turning it something more like a tempo-based Deck (which was my original idea a while back, before the Twin ban) with a couple of Vapor Snag, Snapcasters, a Spell Pierce and a Halimar Depths instead of -1 Jace, -3 Sleight of Hand, -1 Gigadrowse and -1 Island. I will test this today hopefully.
Once again, thanks for reading me out! Hopefully this won't be a bother to anyone.
One stupid question, how does Exhaustion help against Infect? They usually don't need more than turn 3 to win (in my experience).
Ah, and I'll try to get all those lands as well. I especially like the Gemstone Caverns tech.
