I went 3-1 tonight and just barely missed going 3-0-1 and splitting for first. I've implemented a few changes to both the mainboard and sideboard. I'm holding off on updating the decklist until I have some more results, but I'll outline the changes here.

MainBoard:

• -2 Elspeth, Knight-Errant: Elspeth …

Tonight did not go particularly well, going 1-2. As usual, the match by match commentary is below. Unfortunately, I haven't really gotten a good opportunity to test out the Azorius Charms that I've added to my sideboard (outside of one match that went poorly, but more on that below). My …

Went 3-0-1 this week at my LGS's Modern night. The final round I was paired against Amulet Titan, which is a sketchy match-up. However, it was already getting late and both my opponent and I decided to just intentional draw so we could wrap things up early. I'll give a …

Went 3-1 and took first place at my LGS's weekly modern tournament. I've got some notes pertaining to each match below. In general, the combination of Geist of Saint Traft and Elspeth, Knight-Errant was great. There were 3 games that were won almost solely on the back of Elspeth. I …

In light of the Ban list update I've removed Prophet of Kruphix and replaced her with Soul of New Phyrexia. To be honest, I've been looking to add Soul in for awhile but could never find an appropriate cut. Sheldon and the gang finally gave me the opening I needed …

After playing at the GP it became very apparent how powerful a T2 Geist is. Lots of decks really struggle to deal with the damage output that he generates if he lands on T2 and for this reason I've gone back up to 4 copies, dropping a single Eternal witness …

The sideboard has been tweaked to include Echoing Truth as a concession to Lingering Souls - though it has some other uses as well and serves as a decent tempo spell in a number of MU's.

Also testing out 2 copies of Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  ^Flip in the main. Shaved a …

So the deck went 4-2 today and got 3rd place at Games Day. Only losses were to U/R Ensoul Thopters. Won against Mono Red twice, G/W Aggro and Temur Midrange. I was generally happy with Dragonlord Atarka and Xenagos, God of Revels but I felt that See the Unwritten was …

So it turns out that G/B elves is a miserable match-up that I have yet to win. About a third of my store's meta is on the elves beat down plan, so i'm switching up the configuration. I'm dropping a lot of the main board interaction in an attempt to …

So in the recent weeks I've gone back and forth on including the Archangel of Thune + Spike Feeder combo and I've finally caved and made the room after it won me multiple games at this week's Modern Event. I've also moved the Tidehollow Scullers to the sideboard and dropped …
