So for years I've been meaning to get into Modern and I've finally buckled down and purchased the cards to make my mana base. I knew I wanted to make something primarily for the deck and while storm is an option I didn't like how it only has one avenue of winning. Enter Thing in the Ice  , a win con and board bounce all in one with cool artwork to boot.

This deck was inspired by MTGGoldfish's deck tech from a few months back. I swapped some spells around but the framework is almost identicle.

1 Sacred Foundry has been swapped out for an additional Steam Vents. In fishbowling I am finding that I am often missing a second fetchable source of

Visions of Beyond has been swapped out for Quicken It's on a trial basis but I am optimistic about having the instant flexibility of my deck over most of my draw being limited to my turn then.

All 3 Remands have been moved to the sideboard for now. In its place we are bumping up the Faithless Looting to a playset and running 2 Tormenting Voice I am really liking how this card performs in the deck and am thing about upping it to a playset if I can figure out what other 2 drop I'd drop down.

Please comment if you like the deck or have a suggestion to make it more streamlined.

Well I suppose it had to happen at some point. I don't agree with their logic as to why it should be banned but that is a discussion for a different day. After the initial rage settled down I started brainstorming what to swap around in the deck.

My immediate thought was Peek but my concern is with the raised average CMC is I would be needing an additional land and I need as few of those as possible here. Next for consideration was Noxious Revival, a card I was already considering to put in the deck, and the more I thought about it the more it seemed like a natural fit. It gives my deck a way to recur my win cons if they get Inquisitioned or Thoughtseized, it helps keep me from milling myself out if I start playing a bit like a storm deck, and it can help fill my graveyard for Pyromancer Ascension by returning Thought Scour or Faithless Looting. I am considering throwing in a Breeding Poolfoil to replace an Island just so I have access to some G mana if I start getting low.

The other card getting swapped out is Quicken it was always meant as a budget fill in for Visions of Beyond but now I have a card I would actually be satisfied with replacing Visions with and that is the aforementioned Peek. As I said in the initial deck description I am not fond of "win more" cards as I would rather have consistency than potential explosiveness.

So the swaps are as follows... - 4 Gitaxian Probe - 4 Quicken +4 Noxious Revival +4 Peek

Tentative - 1 Island + 1 Breeding Poolfoil
