Maybe. You should probably drop blue and go for 4 {Bitterblossom} and some more removal.

Hmm... Not really sure. Let's look at matchups.

Merfolk: You have Islands, so they will be unblockable. Not sure how'd you deal with them

Zoo: Your swarm could chump block. I think games would come down to how many spirits you were getting and how many Animals your opponent was getting

Twin: They'd probably combo off vs. you by T4 or faster, need {Torpor Orb} in SB

Melira Pod: You need Torpor Orb again ;)

Reanimate: {Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite}. Nuff said.

Jund: I honestly don't know, as I haven't studied the archetype

USA Control: You could probably do pretty good against this, but {Remand} kicks {Lingering Souls} in the balls, and sometimes the T1 Delver is just too much for anyone


I'd say your deck feels too slow. It's more casual

Fact. But if you keep Blue, gain {Geist of Saint Traft}

Very good points it its kinda a midrange decks with me just stalling until I hit anthems to swarm and win. I'm thinking 2 of Verdict main board bc tbh it might kill my tokens but vs. Fish it hurts them much more bc I can flashback souls.

Vs. Zoo I have infinite blockers lol unless they gain trample ill be fine

Vs. Twin ill have to hope for {Path to Exile}

Jund will be interesting.

Idk modern enough to know how fast reanimate works

UWR control will be tough but I can get there (hopefully) with Anthems and chumping Delver

True I'm also debating adding counter magic to the list. Thoughts on that?
