Testing Results:

VS Arcbound v2: 2-0 Win

VS Bounce v2: 2-0 Win

VS Burn v1 (Allies v1:) 1-2 Loss

VS Burn v1 (Allies v2:) 2-0 Win

Never mind the loss to the Burn deck. This deck appears to be my most promising. Hada Freeblade appears to make all the difference here, as it can do everything from causing a wasted counterspell or bolt from becoming a massive fatty in only a few turns. Add this to the fact that the low mana curve allows it to win with a low-land draw or even survive some land destruction, and you have yourself a very powerful deck.

Two major changes I've had to make, which I originally thought would be for the worse, are the removals of Ajani Goldmane and the Terastodons. Awesome in casual, not fast enough in a tournament. An even bigger one was eliminating the Cloudshift. Since Modern, as I have learned, is a very quick format, and Cloudshift exiles (thereby removing existing counters,) it's not a very useful spell.

The number of Turntimber rangers has been dropped to 2, since I wouldn't want to see one in my opening draw.
