Sorcery (1)


Things that Scry

Mystic Speculation: Replaces Serum Visions so you don't accidentally draw that Miracle on your turn. Also Buyback.

Magma Jet: Removal/extra damage with scry 2 attached.

Things that Reward Scrying

Delver of Secrets: Well duh.

Thunderous Wrath: Five damage for one mana? You know you wanna.

Instant-speed Card Draw

Because of the way Miracle is worded, you can draw and cast Thunderous Wrath on your opponent's turn.

Peek: Really ust there for the draw, but you might as well see what's going on behind the scenes while you're at it.

Remand: You want to play a spell? No. You take five damage.

Think Twice: Twice as good as thinking once. Here for the value.

Other Stuff

Young Pyromancer: You're already casting tons of instants (are there even any sorceries in this deck?), so you might as well put this slacker to use.

Monastery Swiftspear: Thi chick and Delver? Love at first sight. Or it would have been, if he weren't a mad scientist and she a monk.

Lightning Bolt: Is it even legal to run a red deck in Modern and not play lightning bolt?

The Matchups

Splinter-Twin: Not too worried about this one. Between our counterspells and bun, we should be able to handle this. Just burn Kikki in response to his ability activating. Board in Combust and Dispel.

Burn: Board in Basilisk Collar and Dragon's Claw. In a Burn heavy meta, add more Dragon's claw to your sideboard.

Abzan: This is probably the worst matchup. Their hand destruction nullifies your counterspells, their lifegain counteracts your burn, and Abrupt Decay hits all of your threats. Board in Magma Spray for Kitchen Finks, Combust for Siege Rhino,and Pyroclasm and Electrolyze for Lingering Souls.

Affinity: Ancient Grudge, Pyroclasm, Electrolyze. If they're still too fast, consider bringing in Dragon's Claw and Basilisk Collar. Make sure t fetch that Stomping Ground with a Bloodstained Mire.

Of course, bring in the Crypt and Relic as needed. They're both good against Snapcaster, especially an early relic.
