Don't just post a deck list, talk about it.

Also, once again, I feel this would be better suited for the casual forum.

Why is it suited for the casual forum?

Because the Modern section is supposed to be reserved for competitive lists or at the very least good lists.

The casual section is meant for lists like these bc it wouldn't be remotely playable in a Modern game :( I don't mean to be rude just trying to make the forum easier for everyone.

With these posts I like to add some advice to make the deck better but in this case it's just too slow :( you have no removal so you'd get shrekd by twin and you can't really compete against the fair matchups bc they are too fast

Sorry :( just saying

The thing is, this looks like a fun combo, but it needs 6 mana, 2 of which have to be {W}.
In other words, you pretty much need 5 combo pieces.
- white source (twice)
- {blasting station}
- A leech
- Darien

So, if you hit all land drops perfectly, you're at T5. Then you hit yourself with the station, you get two triggers which resolve, giving your opponent a window for removal. Bolt to your token with the untap trigger on the stack means your combo ends right there.

Again: I like it. But I'm a casual combo player. Modern spikes destroy this deck, and this is their corner. Come to casual, we have cake ;)
