Will replace bobs with waste not. Then that will be my deck for modern in June onwards. Any ideas on sideboard options/ ideas agents the teir 1 decks atm?

Talock

I would keep bob the draw plus that little bit of bet down is good and would add {Mutavault} over {Blinkmoth Nexus} just my ยข2

I'll do some testing with mutavault friday. Got a modern FNM

Teysa karlov

How do you think this will do in current meta?

Talock

It really counts on where your playing in the top tourneys I don't think it would place well but that IMO as for local games it's really up to the meta at my local a deck almost the same as this keeps placing top 4 so maybe it could be big with the right player behide it beat to play it see how it goes for you.

A big weakness of this deck is {Leyline of Sanctity} and the deck at my local sides to play around it maybe something to look at too.

My groups meta is lots of twin, jund, pod. Some rock, storm, scapshift and boogle. 
And me with 8 rack

Have you played vs affinity?  It seems like it'd fold to affinity.

I have not played against affinity/robots. But from the primers I've read. It's a 50/50 match up. As they empty their hand for me. And the  {Ensnaring Bridge} messes them up. But it's a fast

When 2-2-0 at modern FNM.
Won agenst B/W tokens and storm

Lost against U/B fairies and reanimator

I took one look at your deck and thought of a minds laver lock deck. It's the worlds most annoying thing when your opponent is consistently taking your turn for you

Gah i remember when i first started playing when i was real young and my bro had a rack deck -.- how i hated that card, i thought it was the best card in the world at the time

This deck messes peoples mind cos once they are top decking( every game pretty much) they can't cast their spells half the time cos they are useless. And if they hold them back it gets discarded. Making most of their deck null and void lol. So I pretty much do control their turns for them. They take damage in upkeep, then they draw and pass. And then I empty their hand in my turn. Then it's theirs again.

Even though I'm the only 8rack player atm I'm my area. People are starting to meta agenst me abit.

The only deck I think would give this deck real gref is a zoo deck but that isn't all that common cos the mana base is so costly.

Zoo is not bad if I get {ensnaring bridge} out and post board I board in removal
