Thank you for the suggestion but the reason for me running only 3 is because it was either Lightning Bolt or Electrolyze and of course I chose Electrolyze for the awesome damage and draw, being able to kill Dark Confidant and Snapcaster Mage at the end of my opponents turn and then drawing a card.

Are you trying to be midrange or control? Some aspects seem you've not decided.
Also, electrolyze isn't a good draw. I play UWR in modern and I ended up cutting it to two, and going more draw-go with my list. I'd end up just running a Geist into a Tarmogoyf that a bolt wouldn't kill.

@crazzled1 I also only had 3 lightning bolts at the time but I believe that Electrolyze is just so good against cards like Lingering Souls and from some experience it being not too bad in the mirror match with the card draw effect.

With all those counters and Lightning Bolts, it will be pretty hard for your opponents to get creatures on the board. For this reason I would run 2 Geist of Saint Traft. If you do not go with them, Keranos, God of Storms is really strong as both a draw engine and a removal engine.

I don't have much experience with modern, but I think all decks that want Lightning Bolt should run 4.
