what is ur view on Ball Lightning and or Spark Trooper for the deck. they would combo well with Incandescent Soulstoke and u could up the count on that card as well. Spark trooper is under $1 and ball lightning is around $2

Well, for one, you'd have to go Boros colors for Spark Trooper. So budget-wise, that's pretty much out. Ball Lightning is good and synergizes well with World at War, it's just a little too expensive for my ultra-budget format. If you don't have a budget, then these become options.

u dont NEED to go boros u just dont play it unless u have Incandescent Soulstoke lol

But yet still adding to more Incandescent Soulstoke may knock it out of ultra budget as well. anyways i like the deck man keep it up

Yeah, but that's too situational. You either have to hope you draw them both, or you spend 2 digs to go get them. Not ideal. I like fluidity in my decks. The Soulstoke is really just here for the lord buff anyway. I rarely, if ever, use the tap ability. There's so much better stuff to spend mana on.

I had a deck very similar to this when Lorwyn was standard. The card Heat Shimmer was perfect for giving me two Nova Chasers. And to make this deck even faster you should add in a few Smokebraiders as well. I also would maybe side some Supreme Exemplars for decks with no flying protection. Primal Beyond is also a necessity as well if you ever want to splash other colors. I loved playing with this deck!

Awesome suggestions nckjmsmllr, thank you! I didn't know some of those existed.

Have you ever thought of adding Storm Entity in here? Or does the deck not cast enough spells in one turn to really be effective enough?

Breath of Fury Possibly more than two total combat phases, activates a turn sooner than World at War.

Also, I really like Ashling's Prerogative as a card and I tend to suggest it often. In this case, set it to even and your Nova Chaser comes in with haste. It would only work with a good hand to fit it, though.

Messenger's Speed is another haste enchant. It doesn't give +1/+1, but it does give trample. Jus a thought.

Nice deck! It's quite similar to my Elementals deck.
Assault Strobe is disgusting and I would highly suggest them. I'd maybe replace some Claws of Valakut or, preferably, Siege of Towers for them.
+1!

Lets talk lands: how about Flamekin Village or Looming Spires?

Village isn't modern legal, and I'm not sure if this deck wants to play tapped lands. That said, I certainly agree that some nonbasics could help. A couple that came into play untapped like Rogue's Passage or Blighted Gorge perhaps. Village should definitely be in the maybe board alongside Tempt with Vengeance for people who want to take the deck outside of modern.

Maybe I am blind but I can't find it in the Banned-List in Modern, sooo it has to be legal right? Or is it illegal because its from Commander 2014? http://magic.wizards.com/en/gameinfo/gameplay/formats/bannedrestricted

The cards printed in Commander products aren't legal in modern unless they already were, just legacy and vintage. Same with Conspiracy and most of the other supplemental products.

I agree with the suggestion though, in a setting where it was legal would be a fantastic card for this deck.
