Bant Wish Titan Emeria

Modern GWU (Bant) Midrange

footnmouth5


Sideboard


Hey y'all. I've been tweaking this brew for a couple of months now, running it thru various gauntlets and goldfishing, and I think it's finally ready for FNM. I was hoping to get a set of fresh eyes and criticism beforehand as well as any glaring weaknesses that I haven't seen whilst in brewer's paradise.Originally I started with a UW Emeria Control list but I didn't like how heavily it depended on Emeria, The Sky Ruin as well as wasting slots for bad cards like Pilgrim's Eye and mortar pod so I decided to push Emeria to the side and focus on generating more value, enter Green.Now the deck runs like a Value train that keeps chugging until it eventually overwhelms the opponent who can't have enough answers for all the graveyard shenanigans going on. This plan is aided by catchall answers like Detention Sphere and Supreme Verdict which help stop the opponents gameplan cold as well as a healthy amount of countermagic for non-interactive decks.Glittering Wish started as a fun-of but has proven itself to be very effective at stealing game 1 which is huge. Bant provides very effective wishboard options that are often unbeatable if resolved (GBx=Sigarda, Affinity=Fracturing Gust, Merfolk/Elves=Supreme Verdict, Burn=Heroes' Reunion). Eternal Witness helps here as well by recurring hosers or countered wishes.I kept Emeria because its always nice to have an inevitability factor.Voice of Resurgence in the SB is for blue matchups.

If you have any questions about specific matchups I'll do my best to answer in the comments.

I'm new to modern and this is my first decent brew so couple of questions for you guys:Tron is rough, how can I beat it?Is the mana base optimal? Should I keep Emeria?Should I be running Serum Visions?Is my counterspell suite correct?Is my wishboard/sideboard to heavily focused on the wrong matchups?Any cards I'm not running in the 75 that would help the gameplan/streamline the deck?Graveyard hate, is Detention Sphere enough?Is 3x Voice in the SB the right answer for blue matchups?

Thanks!
