Legacy in Modern! This deck is so exciting, I am afraid to build it IRL, because it will get banned ...

My version of Grixis Shadow, based on Gerry Thompson's Deck Tech and Michael Majors stream

Explaining some of my choices:

1. 4 delve creatures - great vs Fatal Push, which is 4 of in Death's Shadow lists
2. 3 Snapcaster Mage - I think they are enough, and I don't have the 4th IRL :)
3. Invasive Surgery - a bit suspicious with all the delve, but counters and exiles many relevant spells between Traverse the Ulvenwald, Thoughtseize and Scapeshift
4. Hurkyl's Recall - just want to point out that I think such effect is important. Shatterstorm cannot be flashed back and I don't have 3rd Kolaghan's Command
5. Rakdos Charm - Covers a lot of situations. One of the tougher matchups for the deck is against swarm decks, which the charm could surprise :)
6. Temur Battle Rage - I think the effect is important vs combo and big mana decks
7. Dreadbore - Gives me some fighting chance against resolved Ugin, the Spirit Dragon and against Jund kills everything important.
