Hey ;) I was wondering if you could check my deck and give some feedback. It's basically Standard Polymorph with Jalira using tokens.http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/polyshenanigans/

for something else like worldspine what about In Garruk's Wake good board clear but could be tough since blast of genius is the only thing that would get it out.

This deck is awesome. What would you do to make it at modern, Araganor?

@dedebr6: I don't know, to be honest. I never really had modern in mind when I made this deck. You'd need a way to get Possibility Storm out fast, since modern is a turn 4 kill format. In red, the card that comes to mind is Generator Servant (But you get super hosed by counter-magic on that plan). Perhaps splashing green for acceleration might be a good choice. Green has Prophet of Kruphix , which would be a nice way to have a little more control over what your spells turn into (it would also give you access to Unexpected Results which is a hilarious card in its own right if you don't care about competitiveness). Obviously, you'd want to upgrade the burn/removal (Lightning Bolt , maybe splash white for Lightning Helix ? Path to Exile , although not a burn spell is a pretty sweet removal spell that could be used as ramp on one of our Young Pyromancer tokens if needed). Another big issue is the powerful counters in modern, resolving a 5 mana enchantment against a modern deck is probably going to be difficult. Guttersnipe is more than likely going to be too slow in modern, so we could take him out for something else. Snapcaster Mage would be a good start, since it can give you some extra value out of your spells while building up to the storm. Also, keep in mind that Possibility Storm only triggers off of cards played from your hand, so flashback doesn't trigger it. Mercurial Chemister is way too slow for modern, so it goes out as well. I'll think about it some more.
But even with all that, Thoughtseize still ruins our day.
I've got a few other ideas, but they are kind of janky so I'll spare you the details for now.

So I was going to build this deck, but then I saw that it just rotated out. I love the unique concept and the red-blue theme - is there anything remotely similar that you can suggest that is standard legal?
I might just build it anyway because it looks like it'll be very fun to play in casual.

Actually if you could recommend any U/R burn budget deck that's Standard legal (if that exists) I'd be very happy.

I'll get back to you when I find one bobowitzbob, gotta learn the new meta and what not.

A modern version of this deck with emrakul and other eldrazi would be ridiculous

I miss playing this in standard. still havent found a niche to fill the voice that is this chaotic deck :(

For all interested parties, I am working on a modern version. Would love to hear your suggestions if you are experienced in modern. You can find it here:

Instead of 2x Worldspine Worm Why not use 2x Blinkmoth Infusion?
January 1, 2016 6:43 p.m.
I mean In your Modern deck, sorry ;P just realized Blinkmoth Infusion isn't in standard. :P
January 1, 2016 6:47 p.m.
what would Blinkmoth Infusion do in this deck though? with Possibility Storm you have the "possibility" of getting the Worm out for free. with Blast of Genius you have a solid 13 dmg burn and it gets back in your library.against affinity decks blinkmoth infusion could be your neckbreaker.
for modern purposes i suggest replacing the worm with Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, or, possibly better Emrakul, the Aeons Torn and get a free safe from mill along them.
(actually i just realized he did a modern attempt on this already)
