Very nice. I like it a lot. What made you decide to use so much transmute in a format as fast as Modern? Do you find it good enough to justify its slowness?

I decided to use transmute partly due to the fact that with so much counter i can stall the game to the point where i can grab my key combo piece to win the game. transmute has worked wonders for me.

+1

Ridiculously priced fetches maybe for a bit more thinning? I love the probe here too.

I really think you've got a good thing going here. Halimar Depths maybe?

I think halimar depths is a great card but the fact that it enters tapped is too slow for me. i need counter magic mana up and fast

For sure. It's good you've got probe and serum then. Ever thought of Remand ? I figure you have, but might help out as this looks pretty quick. Another odd choice could potentially be Hindering Light . Has it's drawbacks I know, but maybe sideboard worthy?

Anyways, looks good as is. I'm just throwing out ideas you might not have considered.

If remand wasnt a little slow id use it and ill have to take a look look at the hindering lights

I love Remand. Hindering Light is great depending on your meta. If it fits, then it's a great sideboard and sometimes maindeck card. The Remand without the downside. But you do have to pay both white and blue which could make it a bit slow at the start without the right land.

Well I've been discussing my deck with local players and I'm awful tempted to toss in a main board verdict. If something else leaves the sideboard two hindering lights may be an option. After all discard and lightning bolts are annoying. Any thoughts?

Maybe give the hindering lights a shot! Depends on your meta and preference really.

Lots of path to exile and burn so I think I just might run it

Best of luck! I do think it's a bit underrated in the current Modern.

I find myself always suggesting this card when it comes to these infinite mana-combos. But I would replace Pyromatics with Banefire . That way, it for sure can't be countered!

However.. I guess you wouldn't be able to transmute for it.. So I don't know. Maybe it's fine the way it is. haha :)

Well for pyromatics they have to counter each and every one. so if i cast it a million times im good. and yeah being able to transmute is a big part of why i run pyromatics

Add one Emrakul, the Aeons Torn , just to take a snapshot of your opponent's face.

Hahaha wish I could
