Nahiri is one of my favourite planeswalkers and I was excited to see her get a card that was playable in the modern format and that she would no longer be regulated to commander. This is my take on a Nahiri control deck that searches for win-cons with her ult and controls the board state until she can crack and fetch.

Controlling the Board

Grand Abolisher

Lightning Helix

Wrath of God

Path to Exile

Leyline of Sanctity

Ghostly Prison

Elspeth, Sun's Champion

Rebuff the Wicked

Using Grand Abolisher will put an end to a control match up by stopping counterspells on your turn, IF we can keep him on the board. Which in this case is why Rebuff the Wicked is used, since anything that targets him we can counter for one mana. Ghostly Prison slows down aggro decks like RDW from beating in our faces too much and Wrath of God just clears the board if there is a swarm of enemy creatures. Path to Exile and Lightning Helix are good single target removals, and Elspeth, Sun's Champion will give us chump blockers and can board wipe any big threats.

Win Cons

Akroma, Angel of Fury

Akroma, Angel of Wrath

Aurelia, the Warleader

Avacyn, Angel of Hope

Bruna, the Fading Light

Gisela, Blade of Goldnight

Gisela, the Broken Blade

Iona, Shield of Emeria

The best synergy with Nahiri, the Harbinger is pulling Bruna, the Fading Light from the deck and putting her on the battlefield and either hard casting or bringing back Gisela, the Broken Blade to bring in and keep Brisela, Voice of Nightmares and lock down the game for a win. Most of the others here are back up plans in case one of those two pieces gets taken out of the game with a path or a swords to plowshares.

Everything else is kind of self explanatory but you may need to tweak the sideboard for your LGS's meta. Maybe something like Shatterstorm for artifact hate or something along those lines. As always comments and recommendations are much appreciated, and thank you for taking the time to look at this deck.
