So I saw this combo in Emmy Eggs posted by Kaalia with haste and I liked it but the deck was to heavily based on the combo so I tried my luck with it and found that  {Glittering Wish} Could work well here making the deck into a toolboxy deck because not only do I get 7 copies of  {Congregation at Dawn} But other answers/value out of them. I would like some feed back because I just came up with stuff on the fly. Side board wise  {Sigarda, Host of Herons} Is great against removal heavy decks and if I do flood mana wise I can cast her.  {Leyline of Sanctity} Burn and hand disruption.  {Congregation at Dawn} Is the 4th that gets targeted by wish.  {Kitchen Finks} Value on value and I was a kikipod guy so I couldn't resist.  {Turn to Mist} Is a way to flip Emmy if need be.  {Wear // Tear} Answers  {Splinter Twin} And  {Batterskull} Late game.  {Relic of Progenitus} For graveyard strats and more paths for removal.

Also if you don't know the combo it's cast  {Congregation at Dawn} on op endstep  Getting  {Flickerwisp}, Emmy, and usually a backup wisp. Then you draw the wisp cast the  {Soul Summons} Manifesting Emmy. You finish of by casting or vialing the wisp and oops you have emmy

Any suggestions of what to toolbox in the sideboard would be great because I'm trying to think if I need the leylines. They are great and it shuts down half of a burn deck but still. Also fauna shaman is here to discard Emmy if I do happen to draw him. Not to efficient but I can't think of anything else that green or white can do for that

So your list is about 100 times better than mine.

Mine was mono can trips and the whole glittering wish thing never occurred to me. Also you have a back up plan.

True I guess. See anything that can help the deck? I did just put in a  {Gavony Township} Just to make another possible wincon

Edit: should I use 1 {Progenitus} and 1  {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}? Also I would love to be able to fit  {Choke} Into the side board somehow

I do like that. Stopping chords and cryptics and abzan midrange. If I drop the leylines I could even fit in chokes. Then of course idk if doing that is a good idea...

This is hilarious
If I don't sell my Emmys I am making this deck.

Think I want to build this but instead of 2 Emmys use one {Blightsteel colossus}

I'm using Emmys because they have protection and flying. Blight steel can still be removed though it's still a good finisher

Edit: you also need two just in case you draw or it leaves your deck somehow

{See Beyond} lets you put back Emmy and co. Could be good. Then again you'd need blue.

Yeah I'm trying to limit the color usage to just GW. The deck would get more color dependent if I added more then a splash. I would love some remands and mana leaks but the GGW cost of  {Congregation at Dawn} And WW of  {Flickerwisp} Makes having another color to worry about in mana terms hard

It is modern. Fetches and shocks mean you don't have to worry too much. You also have lots of bs hate options for {Blood Moon}. Just a thought. I intend to brew one of these soon.

Lands are fluid in modern but the life loss I would have to suffer would be pretty high and I'm already behind most decks because of no real crazy threats besides the combo, Sigarda, and golum tokens lol. The counter magic would off set it a bit and I could do some non creature cantrips. Also glittering wish could potentially have more targets
