Hey everyone. I have been experimenting with different ways to make a modern deck incorporating Geist of Saint Traft and different awesome equipment like Swords and Batterskull, and i'm quite pleased with this list. I may make minor changes from now, but I've found that the core definitely consists of:Restoration AngelSnapcaster MageGeist of Saint TraftSteelshaper's giftBatterskull3 drop 2 equip Swords (Such as Sword of Feast and Famine, Sword of Fire and Ice etc)TONS of counterspells

The deck plays relatively simply, most of the decisions come later in the game post-stabilization. In general, turns 1-3 are used playing counter spells or Wall of Omens. The deck excels post turn 4, when we can start using Cryptic Command and Snapcaster Mage to maintain our control over the game, while using Restoration Angel at instant speed. In addition, after turns 5/6 we do not have a problem with tapping the 3 mana necessary for Geist of Saint Traft. The deck can almost certainly handle less Geists, since it plays more as a control deck than a beatdown deck, but I love the card, so whatever.
