A Modern Human deck based on recursion. Basically, you dump your hand into your yard and get a Rally the Ancestors off for 3 with a couple Kessig Malcontents to burn out your opponent. If that doesn't work, you can just beat your opponent down with giant Champion of the Parish and Thalia's Lieutenant after a Rally or two. Also, in order to be able to cast Rally multiple times (or kill your opponent with Zulaport Cutthroat), you can use Cartel Aristocrat to sack your board before the exile trigger goes off.

The sideboard consists of some utility cards that can easily be swapped in. Avalanche Riders can be used in order to break problem lands (looking at you Eldrazi Temple ). True Believer can be used against burn, even though it's not as great as Leyline of Sanctity but it can be recurred with Rally. Grand Abolisher protects your combo from control decks and War Priest of Thune takes care of the Leyline of Sanctity those decks often side in. Seance works as a great secondary Rally in case of Surgical Extraction and Angel of Glory's Rise is an amazing, single-use mass revive spell for those really grindy games. Finally, Ash Zealot punishes any Past in Flames decks or other flashback-based decks that can be a pain.
