I've decided that I wanted to build a aggro deck for modern that wasn't RDW or Infect, so why not just build a deck around colors I love. Introducing:

Jes-Geist

This is your normal RUW deck with a couple way to get that W.

Main plan

Depending on your opponent, you can begin to have an unstoppable force in the air by turn 4. Enchanting Mantis Rider with Clout of the Dominus gives you a +5/+5 Flying, Vigilance, Haste, and now Shroud attacker, so that can end the game pretty quickly.

Aggro plan

Turn one Guide/Swiftspear is always pretty good. It will help with setting up for either Geist or Rider by turn three, so it helps to keep mana up to protect your creature while dealing out some damage early on. Resolving a Geist of Saint Traft can be a game changer, because if he goes unanswered while on the board, then he becomes a problem. With Geist and Rider both out, that's 9 damage per swing if you have Geist out turn 3 and Rider out turn 4. Add Clout and you have an 11 damage swing on turn 4 as well.

Support

You have your regular burn/counters/cantrips in these colors in Lightning Bolt, Remand, Spell Pierce, Lightning Helix and Path to Exile. Izzet Charm gets you the option of either a burn, counter, or cantrip, while Electrolyze works as both burn AND cantrip.

Please comment on what you think. There's thoughts of putting Snapcaster Mage in, but so far, I don't know he works or not.
