Notes:
Tweaked, won a modern tourney with this short of the isochron scepters, will add them in for my next modern tourney to speed up things with shrapnel blast or galvanic blast!

Will probably drop master of etheriums for spellskite's and the arcbound ravagers for blood moons

Too much spell, not enough creature. {Arcbound Ravager} is main board IMO as it makes removal bad and is just such a solid card. I haven't been a fan of {Signal Pest} and this deck doesn't need {Gitaxian Probe} IMO.

With this list I was winning turn 3 😁 I out burned the solid burn decks(tier 1 burn decks that 2 people were playing in the tourney) sacking ornithopters for shrapnel blast and playin 2-3 shrapnel blasts by tappin the opals and leaving a mana floating then dropping another opal to destroy it and shrapnel blasting for 10 in one turn is devastating as well as galvanic blasting anything else it's ridiculous

Codester1991

I feel this is like a perfect ramp for burn by being able to drop a springleaf drum and opals and glimmer post and ornithoper t1 that's 3 mana for burn, I mean I feel like dropping 14 damage t2 should be a bigger thing

Normal affinity can T3 as well. Sounds like it's fun and deadly. No {Welding Jar}? Guess it doesn't fit that well.

Which it plays well as normal affinity, but the tourneys I play are full on burn and they kill my artifacts and instead of wasting a jar for regenerating a orni, Id rather shrapnel blast on the Stack and deal 5

Sounds good to me. I'm just not used to holding mana in affinity. xD
