Since I didn't see anyone else call you out on it. Please note that Spell Snare does not counter spells with CMC 2 or less. Just spells with CMC 2. Very limiting. I think Mental Misstep is better as you can cast it turn 0 and hits CMC 1 cards which tend to be more problematic in Modern. Like the deck a lot otherwise.

Sorry for the typo, I corrected it in the description (I wrote it very fast, my apologies), you are right, it only counters CMC 2 cards only, which hits a lot of popular modern staples. As for Mental Misstep, that is a fantastic card, except it is super banned in modern. I would love to see that get unbanned, however Mental Misstep is very OP for its cost and likely will never be unbanned because it breaks the format.

Oh sorry. I don't play modern often and thought misstep was allowed. Spell snare was a good choice then.

No worries, I use to not play modern, so I was unfamiliar with what was legal and what wasn't. Hell, sometimes I still have to check the list. What is great about Spell Snare is it hits a lot of the 2 mana counter spells, all the popular 2 drops that make your life a living hell like Tarmogoyf, Dark Confidant, Young Pyromancer, and Snapcaster Mage, etc. Thanks for the comments.

WOW! This is one of the coolest tribal decks I've seen for modern! I just started getting into the format, and I am currently building a spirit tribal/control deck with a similar strategy! Definite +1 from me!

What's your take on Metalic Mimic? Psuedo 2 mana lord that gives more low drop Fae to cast early to power Spellstutter

Very similar to my take on UB Fae. You definitely want to update your removal suite; take out the 2x Disfigure and Victim of Night, and replace with 3x Fatal Push.
Personally, since you're not running fetches (which I agree with), I would drop to one copy of Tasigur, the Golden Fang, since the second will almost always be a dead draw. I'd replace with a Sword of Feast and Famine.
The meta at the mo is very combo based, so my tweak suggestion would be to add another Vendilion Clique, and go with 4x Thoughtseize and 2x Inquisition of Kozilek. To make space, take out the Tasigur and one other of choice.
Those are my thoughts at least, take them as you will. I like your list overall.
