Play Nivix Cyclops, then play as many instants/sorceries as possible. Artful Dodge/Apostle's Blessing for unblockable, Dispel/Mana Leak for disruption, Gitaxian Probe/Thought Scour for cheap card draw when you want to combo off, Mutagenic Growth/Gut Shot for free spells to pump Cyclops. Nivmagus Elemental and Kiln Fiend are in there if I can't draw the cyclops. They also work off each other, since the Cyclops and Fiend don't care if the spell resolves or not. The sideboard is a work in progress, let me know what I can do to make it better, I'm not very familiar with the Modern metagame.

This is my first attempt at a Modern deck. I made it out of cards I currently own, and I like decks that aren't very popular (i.e. Melira Pod, Storm, Robots, things like that). I've been able to do 13+ unblockable damage consistently on turn 4, with enough gas and countermagic to kill on turn 5. Best draw I had was turn two Kiln Fiend, turn three Artful Dodge, Gitaxian Probe, Assault Strobe to make a 10/2 unblockable double-strike.
