Decks that i will probably play against are dredge, affinity, death shadow, rg ponza, elves, naya burn , death and taxes, hatebear, american control and rg tron...
Maybe im wrong but Merfolk and u tron arent a lot popular in the current meta.and when im thinking of deck relying on counterspells they are the two main deck that im thinking of. im really not sure if this card will be played a lot in modern for this reason.
Im also playing a coco elves deck and im only playing with a single cavern of soul for this reason...no need for a full playset at the moment....
And if this would happen, just let it resolve and use dismember or spatial contortion on it. We also have tks to get rid of it. You can also buy some time with cyclonic rift, repeal or aetherize. Silent arbiter would also help a lot if your facing an heavy creatures deck anyway....
In fact i should have named my sideboard as a maybeboard because these are only somes cards that i already have on hand but i'm not really sure about them. Hellkite was only there as a budget replacement for a second wurmcoil engine....
Habitually i'm a budget guy so chalice was not an option for me but someone asked 80$ for 3 near mint chalice so i did not have other choice that to buy them.
I've made a deck list with what i have at the moment:
Runesnag and perillous vault should be upgrade to remand and oblivion stone in a near futur.
My meta consisted of a lot of our worst matchup like hatebear, death and taxes, merfolk and burn. Some others deck that i see regularly are infect, valakuts, elves, 8 wacks, affinity, rg tron, jeskai control.
How can i improve my deck to be competitive in this kind of meta?
I just been able to find some more cards to improved my manabase and sideboard so right now it looks like this:
Creature (34)
1x Craterhoof Behemoth
4x Dwynen's Elite
4x Elvish Archdruid
4x Elvish Mystic
4x Elvish Visionary
1x Ezuri, Renegade Leader (not been able to find 1 or 2 more copy of him around here)
4x Heritage Druid
4x Llanowar Elves
4x Nettle Sentinel
4x Shaman of the Pack
1x Chameleon Colossus
4x Duress
1x Pithing Needle
4x Stain the Mind
1x Thrun, the Last Troll
I would need some advices for the mana base as i'm really not sure about it. What would you changes?
I'm a little bit out of money right now (just bought the gilf-leaf palace and blooming march, so i wont be able to upgrade to a playset of cavern for sure.....
i'm Playing mainly against Hatebear,U/R Tron,Infect, Affinity, Merfolk, Death and Taxes, jeskai control, 8 rack, 8 whacks (goblins)
I just saw a guy playing with a playset of Panharmonicon mainboard.
This allow him to draw 2 card instead of one with elvish visionnary, put 2 token instead of one from dwynen elite, do twice the dammage from a Shaman of the pack.
First, i'd like to apologies for my english, i'm a french canadian.
Here is my deck list at the moment, i called it Gobl'N Burn,I went 4-0 before loosing in semi-final in a little Tournament in my city with it:
Creatures (24)
4x Foundry Street Denizen
4x Goblin Bushwhacker
3x Goblin Piledriver
1x Krenko, Mob Boss
4x Legion Loyalist (only had one copy at that time, so I was playing 3 goblin fireslinger instead)
4x Mogg War Marshal
4x Vexing Devil (Instead of Goblin guide as i don't have any )
Sorcery (13)
1x Burn at the Stake
4x Goblin Grenade
4x Lava Spike
4x Rift Bolt
Instant (5)
4x Lightning Bolt
1x Massive Raid
Land (18)
1x Cavern of Souls
17x Mountain
Sideboard (15) (under construction/ didnt had a proper SB at the tournament)
First matchup was against an Azorius (UW) Heroic deck: Won 2-1
Second Matchup was against a Mono-G Infect deck: Won 2-0
Third Matchup was against a GW Hatebear deck: Won 2-0
Fourth Matchup was against a Blue white and red (jeskai) control deck: he won the first game, i won the other and he abandonned the 3rd game.
I lost in semi Final against the Hatebear player because of his sideboard and a little bit of badluck. In my opening hand i had a mountain,3 goblin grenade,two bolt and a mogg war marshal (THE Perfect hand)......but on his first turn my opponent put leyline of sanctity on the battlefield...... (damn, i really hate this card) so i lost.....
Second game, i sided out Lava spike as it could only target the player and i put 2 mogg fanatic and 2 draggon fodder. (i didnt had a real sideboard for this event as i created the deck only in that morning, The card in the SB were given to me at the store by the owner juste before the event)
So turn 4, i had an army (3 mogg war marshal + token + others 1/1 ready to swing for 16 with the kicker from a goblin bushwacker that i had in my hand but my opponent casted nevermore and he named the bushwacker.... as a result, i've been outclassed by his own creature and he finally won this game.
My taughts about this version is that it is pretty versatile as it is possible to play it like a traditional 8wack deck or a traditional burn deck or a combination of both depending of the opponent....
I would like to have your opinions and suggestion to improve it. I was thinking maybe splashing White or green to have a way to deal with enchantment would help. What do you think?

Btw sorry for my english, i am French
Is there any replacement for chalice of the void for a player on a really tight budget
I cannot spend that amount of money for a single card
I already have everything else to build this deck except chalice....
Is is better to just add more counterspell instead to try to find a non-optimal replacement card for chalice?
Btw sorry for my english...
Thanks in advance

What do you think? Do you think it is viable?
Would it still be good to have thoughtseize, golgari charm or stain the mind in the sideboard?
As for tron, they play GR version
