Playing Modern for the first time after 6 mo of Standard is also wild. Maybe just the decks I was playing in Std / the decks that were good, but damn give me a Psychic Frog and Force of Negation and I feel like I can never lose unless I blow it (which I did). Std felt closer to flipping coins
Oculus is the new Lingering Souls
Winternight Stories was great. Would consider a second but it is slow.
Wish Snare was better atm but 1 is fine to draw vs most ppl.
Mishra’s Bauble was great w Riddler and Atraxa. Also bc I /think/ I missed zero triggers. Wouldn’t be shocked if that number was ~3 though.
Truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue
Subtlety is vvg atm.
Gonna work on 4 Casey Jones / 4 Unearth next.
Wanted more combo action. Would play 2nd Griselbrand and either Unburial Rites or Footsteps of the Goryo.
Lost every game I drew Thoughtseize. Card sucks. Never again.
Played 0 games where I fetched a tapped shockland. Idk how mfers find time to surveil 3 times per game. Literally never want 2nd

Scrapshooter isn’t ideal vs Prowess, but it is solid and a card I’m happier to play when disenchant matters and big body with reach matters vs other decks in the format, which it does. Bounce solves Scrapshooter as a standalone, but I’m moreso trying to overload them on reach/flying blockers. Ouroboroid being stronger depends on whether they are pointing Burst Lightning at Llanowar Elves or sandbagging for Badgermole Cub and/or relevant blockers imo. My experience has been that Izzet decks with low spot removal (Spelementals, Prowess) are better off saving removal for Cub and not killing Elf every time. Lessons obviously wants to kill all your stuff and has the ability to do so. That said, most of my opponents have killed the Elf, which makes me like 4-drops less. If you told me my opponents would mostly do the “correct” thing, then my opinion might change. And fwiw if Prowess played the unblockable cantrip, I feel like I could probably never win.
Too nuanced and much to say for limited characters heh
Your list is definitely not stock though!
No paywall on the guide btw
Expecting a tick up in aggro (Izzet Prowess, Rakdos Monument) for Spotlight Richmond, so might do some weird stuff like maindeck Scrapshooter going forward. Will try Witness Protection instead of Bounce Off as well.
