They're 77? Wow. I bought 4 @ 58 on the post DRS ban dip. Shit's getting cray in the finance world.
Yea, and when goyf took a small 5tix dip a week ago I thought about picking them up and now they are up 20 (nearly 100tix)

I don't have the stomach or wallet for such things. I know that staples will likely keep going up until Wizards starts doing something about it but I just can't speculate like that.

A new form of Jund has been thrashing in the Daily's using Courser of Kruphix. So Liliana is back.

I have horrible (or genius) idea.

What about Tempo / Zoo deck based on creatures:

Delver of Secrets
Wild Nacatl
Snapcaster Mage
Tarmogoyf
possible distruptive 3 if needed (clique?)

For spells run bolts, helix, tribal flames (already in 4 colors but might not be needed), remands, spell pierces and spell snares?

I have been working on such a deck but am having issues. The mana base is fragile and it just doesn't seem powerful enough to fight opposing strategies. I can provide an experimental list if we want to look into it further but it is pretty rough.
Would
be pleased if you can post it.

Talked today to my local modern comu ity - around 15 people play like 3 times a week, and they aaid it might have potential. Liked the idea of nacatl, goyd, delver and some amount of aupport creatures in snap and / or clique, dont like tribal flames as it is not needed in heir opinion and make mana worse.

Supportive spells in serum visions, mutagenic growth and gitaxian probe, possible other protection spell for 1 mana, cheap soft counters, remands, burn package in bolt, helix and pillar of flame/flame slash/magma spray, point removal in path. Ditruption in trickbind and shadow of doubth.

Why don't you look into Counter Cat?

Couse it was an old deck that played stuff like bant charm with different meta and with no delver. It can be used as a base thou.

Dont really know if knight of the reliquary is any good. Same with hierarch plus there is no green su zenith anymore. There was also no snapcaste/scavenging ooze/voice.

It was a really bad deck. This is what I think I used (recalling from memory).
[deck]
4 Arid Mesa
4 Scalding Tarn
1 Verdant Catacombs
2 Stomping Ground
2 Sacred Foundry
2 Steam Vents
2 Hallowed Fountain
1 Blood Crypt
1 Temple Garden
1 Breeding Pool

4 Wild Nacatl
4 Kird Ape
4 Voice of Resurgence
4 Snapcaster Mage
4 Knight of the Reliquary
4 Geist of Saint Traft

4 Path to Exile
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Lightning Helix
4 Tribal Flames
[/deck]

Easy change would be Kird Ape for Delver (if we can get deck manipulation or more instants in the deck). I put in Voice over Goyf because I don't have Goyfs and we won't really get him beyond a 3/4 in this deck without help. Could cut down on Geists as well or put them in the sideboard for Satyr Firedancers. I was really pleased with Knight. It couldn't fetch but was often bigger than most other creatures. Biggest problem was getting all the right mana that we
needed to use what we had.

Zoo plays too many creatures for Delver.

Agree, most delver decks play 12 creatures, 16 is a stretch. Delver zoo COULD start here though I guess:

4 Delver
4 Wild Nacatl
4 Goyf
2 Snapcaster Mage

That's 14 creatures and I'd look to playing 18/20 lands leaving you at 26/28 spells. Good luck with that manabase.

Don't be scared, Pedros. As the token terrible DTR Modern deck brewer, it's not such a bad gig.

Zem would you suggest burn as a good meta choice?

Ham you play mdu brew?
Top two archetypes (MBC and Esper) are 65% matchups. You tell me.

I'm curiously ok with that. Well done. Burn does seem to be catching on.
