Current record is 19-5

More testing still needed, but the deck is getting closer to where it should be.

Matchups from today. 12/11/21 4-3

Green Tron - 0-2 Blue Tron - 2-0 UR Murktide - 0-2 Bogles - 2-0 Twiddle Storm - 2-0 BR Rock - 2-1 Hammertime - 1-2 (Almost top 32 frowning )

Overall I found that my first two losses were from bad mulligans. I chose to keep better curved hands instead of hands that had answers (Leyline instead for Murktide, Bloodmoon for Tron). I also had variance with tron and drew every aether vial and 8 lands in a row.

Hammertime felt very 50/50. I lost because the opponent was able to side step my hate cards in game 3.

I won with combo in 4 games overall (Bogles, Storm, Hammertime). Battle-Cry Goblin was always great when I was able to use him. Swinging for 6-10 damage by turn 3-4.

The biggest changes I'd make to the deck would be cutting a vial for a Warren Weirding. I found myself wanting an answer for my opponents one big creature they had out in multiple games. Weirding came in for multiple matchups. I think running one main and one side might be correct. Aether Vial feels weak currently. I think it's a card that you want to see or not at all. I'm comfortable with 2x but I understand people who would suggest just cutting them all together at this point.

Finally Monkey. I hate to say it, but the card did work. I was able to combo off or just dodge removal because of the fear of this card. You can get away without them, but would recommend 3-4x of them if you have them.

I have been finding in my playing and testing that Aether Vial feels bad to draw in Modern. If I don't see it turn 1-3, I never want to see it. I have also been siding it out against most decks due to the fact that they are much faster than us. These matchups include Hammertime, Affinity, Burn, Temur Cascade, etc...

Warren Weirding has been outperforming and doing work. With Murktide usually being the only the creature on the field when it is out, this card has been easy removal. It also has a more versatile position in general.
