I haven't had enough play time yet with this deck to make a good determination of that yet, however in most cases I find having the scry is very worth it. digging for the card I need is often worth the delay. I have a good amount of turn three moves, so it doesn't worry me to much. With that said, a super quick deck can get away from me if I'm not careful.

Dismember will often be a better removal spell than any of the ones you have in your deck already. At worst it costs 1 mana and 4 life to kill pretty much anything.
Also, you still have yet to leave me any feedback on the deck I posted in the Advertise Your Deck thread. Melek, Izzet Stormbringer is a link to the deck.

I have considered dismember and may yet switch out doom blade for it, but I need to do some more play testing before I decide. Unmake has been pretty effective for harder to hit cards.

Good suggestion, I agree it's better. I'll have to get a playset of them.

Bojuka Bog is more of sideboard card than anything, and even then Leyline of the Void is far better in the SB, which I would recommend. I'd switch out 3 of them for swamps, and 1 for Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to make your temples Swamps too, which will help with Mutilate , etc...

Yeah, I've thought about it, but I don't like that it really relies on Morbid to be effective.

What's your experience running the Temples? Do you find the scry outweighs any mana delays? With as quick as Modern can be that extra mana could be the difference.
