Modern Variation of Scapeshift. This is my version, might be the same as someone's out there, but this is how I made it.

I use a version of Scapeshift that focuses more heavily on its Blue aspect than its red. I use cards like Serum Visions and Tell Time to help me get the draws I want and to search for the all important Scapeshift.

Well, Dig Through Time is sadly no longer a thing. Although, neither is Birthing Pod. So, time to prepare for the new meta, which seems to be Abzan and Burn.

I have changed around the board to focus a lot more on speed rather than control. Burn hits fast and hard and I'm going to need to kill fast in order to live. But there is a focus on dealing with the Abzan decks. Mana Leak is good literally everywhere. Peer Through Depths to get the combo pieces. Drop Lightning Bolt to 1 copy, because most decks put that out of range with their creatures anyway (Deceiver Exarch and Siege Rhino).

Electrolyze is in there for now until I can get a hold of Cryptic Command *list*. The 4 Serum Visions is subject to change if I see that just isn't fast enough or making enough of an impact.

SIDEBOARD: Lots of changes here. Taking out most of the Pod hate (Anger of the Gods ect.).

We use Gigadrowse to help buy turns against heavy hitters like Abzan and Jund.

Combust hits a LOT of stuff, so that is definitely staying in.

Kiora, the Crashing Wave is a great way to stave off the Abzan decks who only have one creature or to help get lands out to combo faster. She also counts as an alternate win con with her ult.

Shatterstorm for Affinity.

Engineered Explosives for Tarmogoyf hate and fish hate.

Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir to slow down the Twin decks and to stop the control decks from countering my Scapeshift. He's also not a terrible blocker.

Obstinate Baloth for those Lillana of the Veil.

And Nature's Claim for dealing with those pesky Blood Moon or other annoying enchantments or artifacts (Aether Vial).
