I'm finding against Scapeshift and the new Pyroclasm decks, and vs. Pod having Swiftspear has been very helpful.
I'm actually moving towards the Swiftspears main, just trying to decide on 4 cruise or a mix of Cruise/Digs.
But I missed having 8 Delvers, thats for sure.

I went 4-1-1 today, then my burn opponent scooped to me in the final so I would get more points for our player of the year thing, and we split credit (he was on treasure cruise burn).
Played Pod 3 times, drew with burn, beat burn, and lost to grixis control to a misplay game 1 that didn't matter (probably) because I drew 12 of my 19 lands but it might have so I'll just say I lost to misplay, and game 3 I just didn't draw a counterspell off my dig to counter his dig. Oh well. Still did well and I get to make an elemental token with my face on it
From the pod games I played, both during the tourney and testing for top 4 it's unlosable if they don't draw pod.

So I'm going to a modern FNM tonight and I need some help with boarding patterns (not board PLANS, just an idea of whats good/bad)
So here is the "plan" I'm going into with the following list:
[deck]
4 Delver of Secrets
4 Snapcaster Mage
4 Young Pyromancer
2 Burst Lightning
2 Spell Snare
2 Vapor Snag
4 Gitaxian Probe
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Serum Visions
3 Mana Leak
4 Remand
2 Electrolyze
2 Treasure Cruise
1 Misty Rainforest
1 Mountain
4 Flooded Strand
4 Scalding Tarn
4 Steam Vents
5 Island
Sideboard (15)
1 Dispel
2 Grim Lavamancer
3 Magma Spray
1 Combust
1 Negate
1 Counterflux
1 Vedalken Shackles
2 Blood Moon
1 Shatterstorm
1 Batterskull
1 Treasure Cruise
[/deck]
vs. Affinity:
-4 Remand
-3 Mana Leak
+3 Magma Spray
+2 Grim Lavamancer
+1 Shatterstorm
+1 Vedalken Shackles
vs. Jund
-2 Electrolyze
-2 Vapor Snag/Burst Lightning (depending on version)
+2 Blood Moon
+1 Treasure Cruise
+1 Batterskull
vs. Pod
-4 Remand
-2 Vapor Snag
-1 Mana Leak
+3 Magma Spray
+2 Blood Moon
+2 Grim Lavamancer
I'm unsure about this plan, as I think remand is good (probably not on the draw but especially on the play)
vs. Ascendancy Combo
-2 Vapor Snag
-2 Electrolyze
-1 Mana Leak
+3 Magma Spray
+1 Dispel
+1 Negate
vs. Burn
-2 Electrolyze
-2 Vapor Snag
OR
-4 Gitaxian Probe
+1 Dispel
+1 Negate
+1 Batterskull
+1 Counterflux
I want all the counters for their burn. Depending on the version, I either want creature removal or none.
vs. Control
-2 Vapor Snag
-2 Electrolyze
+1 Treasure Cruise
+1 Combust
+1 Batterskull
+1 Dispel
( Could see adding Blood Moon here against certain UWR Versions, especially Kiki-Control, but not sure what to cut. I like burst lightning as it kills Resto, but I could see cutting them)
Vs. Mirror
-2 Vapor Snag
+1 Vedalken Shackles
+1 Treasure Cruise
+2 Grim Lavamancer
Not sure what else to cut here.
Now some of you might be thinking "if Vapor Snag gets sided out that much, why are you running it?" the answer? Catch-all. Preboard, I want to play aggressive in most matchups and Vapor Snag helps me do that, and its also good vs. quite a few fringe matchups.
Let me know what you think!

His list was bad, in that it wasnt optimal vs. Affinity, which is why he had such a hard time.
His other loss was to Blue Tron which is honestly one of the hardest matchups we have. I'm not too worried.
On a side note, I dont think Pod can beat us. Ever. I'm 6-0 vs it with my version and GerryT thinks the matchup is a beating for us. Which is awesome.

Some things I've noticed with the deck:
1) needs more threats. I'm going up to 4 Pyromancers most likely. On that note...
2) Grim Lavamancer is pretty meh game 1. Which is scary because we need more threats. To compensate:
3) 1-2 more burn spells.
4) I also want Vapor snag in the deck again. Just as a catch all.
