So I'm making this deck from a bunch of cards I already had, plus some bought ones. This is casual kitchen table deck with the modern rule set.

The deck loosely follows the 8-rack archetype without the crazy expensive cards, with cards that are fun to play or cheap versions instead.

I wanted to keep a Lilian in here but the rest of them are too expensive on mana to really show any benefit.

I've gone for nyxathids instead of ensnaring bridge, it shares CMC and should be a 5/5 for 3 mana on turn 3 that just keeps getting bigger.

A lot of the cards speak for themselves really, they perform a specific function and hopefully a synergy.

Would love some advice, especially for the sideboard and in terms of sharpening the deck up.
