I really like the idea behind this deck. My only suggestion would be dropping the Hearthfire Hobgoblin for Silverblade Paladin instead. Both 2/2 bodies, but one just has doublestrike whereas the other has doublestrike and can give it to any other creature you control (hint: Gisela, Blade of Goldnight ).

Really interesting, and in my humble opinion, unique deck. Only vulnerabilities are cards like Merciless Eviction or Paraselene , but even then, you'll get the last laugh as they have to pay life to counter your deck, and most people likely wouldn't have that much enchantment hate mainboarded. Well, unless they had played against you before. ;)

+1 from me!

This deck is evil...I love it.

You are running very low on land in my opinion, seeing as you're running heaps of 4, 5, and even 7 cost cards. If I were you I'd start by replacing 4x Curse of the Pierced Heart with 4x Sacred Foundry (or just Mountain +Plains if you don't have the shocks), and possibly even look into some form of ramp.

+1 from me regardless!

Burning Earth would make for a decent sideboard against decks running mostly nonbasics.

Awesome Deck!!!! Its looks quite annoying for opponents. I saw what you said about Hearthfire Hobgoblin , but thought that you also might want to consider Mirran Crusader because of his protection from black and green. +1

This just looks like pure torture to face. I read the discussion and heard you say that you were weak against boardwipes, and I have THE SOLUTION!! Legion's Initiative ! It's a real cheap card to get out and provides a consistent benefit, while the active rescues all of your precious creatures from boardwipes in a pinch.
I would also agree with scarmask in that this deck could definitely use 2-4 more lands (even if they're just the basic lands). That'll really help with your consistency and will reduce the chance that you get mana-screwed.

I like the Mirran Crusader suggestion since protection from GB is huge and he's a pretty significant threat. Have you considered Boros Reckoner ? Synergy with Balefire Liege and just as effective of a blocker as Hanweir Watchkeep  Flip if not more so.

I'd watch the werewolves since this deck wants to be casting spells, but I guess Manabarbs will make your opponent Think Twice about casting anything.

Seems like more land is a general consensus. Will be making the update and cleaning up the comments!

God this deck is mean. "oh you want to cast anything? Take damage. Oh now you're gonna just chump block until you draw into enchantment removal? That's fine, I hope you like werewolves. Oh you want to attack with those creatures you've amassed?Thats okay too, take more damage." I can see people flipping tables over this, but the best part? It's DIRT CHEAP. Fantastic deck. +1

Thanks man! I do try to keep it within a certain budget; so far, I'm really happy with all the responses. :D

I really like your deck and would suggest that you add Sulfuric Vortex

That card is SO good! Unfortunately, it isn't modern, BUT I will add it to the maybeboard just in case I decide to expand it. Thanks for the suggestion!

This deck rules. I run a very similar one casually, Homeland Security and am very open to suggestions. +1

Silence would go along with the being mean theme, but I also want the opponents playing spells so they can take damage. Thanks for the suggestion though!
