This is a home-brew modern deck that I'll admit is a little on the greedy side. It is constructed with a Gruul (green-red) core that dabbles in white for resto and black for heartless summoning with the purpose of disrupting your opponents land development while adding more threats to the board.

One promising interaction for this deck is an opening hand Chancellor of the Tangle into a turn one Heartless Summoning. Pair that with an Avalanche Riders and you have essentially manipulated your deck into a modern legal Sinkhole with a more flexible mana cost and a point of damage or blocker turn two vs a turn one infect creature (although the turn two kill becomes much less threatening when they can only generate one mana turn two). Another reason the body is so good is during your upkeep in response to the echo trigger you can Restoration Angel and blow up their second land and refresh avalanche riders for another point of damage while keeping your opponent locked and getting out a 2/3 flying threat.

Getting that many colors that early untapped is undoubtedly going to cost us some health which is where the main deck swag-daddies come in handy Thragtusk. A turn two heartless allows for a turn three daddy and that can replenish some much needed health from doing the combo mentioned above or give you a life advantage as you pace yourself against an aggressive red deck.
