I know I need to reduce the number of cards by two. Other than that, what do you guys think?

I think it's way too slow for modern.  a 2/4 for 5 thats mana intensive that could become a big threat?  They {doom blade} and that puts you way behind.  It's a pretty fun casual deck though.

i like you say something about modern and mention something about doom blade being used in modern. It is funny.

Hey!  It sees play.  It's a very versatile kill spell that is dirt cheap.

Err..

Why {doom blade} isn't played in modern, his point is still spot-on: this deck is too slow. I recommend adding removal like {path to exile}, as every white deck should.

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

I see {doom blade} at my lgs when it's modern.  But so what, {path to exile} costs one less! and I know decks use it.

Yes, but three of the most common creature heavy decks are: Jund Midrange (black), Junk Pod (black) and Infect (sometimes using BG, BUG or UB). It has made a few appearances in Modern, but its not something that is a staple.

I feel like you guys are focusing on one card. When the whole point of the deck is teamwork. Not one card in here takes presence over the rest

[Birdbrain]

Alright. Thanks for the input. And you just gave me a wonderful insight that i might be able to use

Ok I tried it without the ranger and with a path...it needs another creature. Probably something between 2-3 mana that give the deck some bang...hmmmm

I think I may be inventing a sub archetype of Kiki-jiki combo. But it needs more combo-y stuff

What would a random bunch of creatures have to offer the Kiki-Jiki combo over reliable methods like U/R tempo or {Birthing Pod}?

stop looking at the deck as centerin on one card, and start lookin at it as a collective. Kiki jiki {restoration angel} and you can have three creatures enter the battlefield just from that. If you got the board developed with effects that trigger when creatures enter the battlefield, and once this puppy hits 88 miles an hour, your going to see some serious ****

That last part was accidental. I had copied that from a previous thing I typed

I admit that I was looking at this the wrong way, but it still seems really slow for modern. Your opponent will always either remove your good creatures (leaving you with a pile of meh) or combo off faster than you can kill them. You should always run removal in this format, and splashing red would allow you to do that all the more, but I feel like this deck still seems... inefficient. Having a ton of etb effects just doesn't seem to be as good of a support structure for comboing off as control or birthing pod, and your deck doesn't currently seem like it will outrace most modern decks in a beatdown contest.

Regardless of competition, however, I feel like this deck needs {Kitchen Finks}.

Why stop at 3 creatures??? Make a ton of angels and win!

I could replace the 5 drop with {thragtusk}...
