After weeks of testing and minor tweeking, I have gotten a full understanding of the deck, and where I'm at now, it seems to be potent enough for MODERN f@*king play! This is just insanity.
My worst enemy is by far Anger of the Gods, but I run tons of creatures that survive it, and after board, a heavy red deck has to face down 4 Peak Eruptions. If the deck is 3 colored, it gets screwed over even more by Burning Earth .
The second biggest challenge is U/W controll with their Supreme Verdict though I run some permanents that survive it. All the planeswalkers along with Nylea, God of the Hunt fights the verdict tremendously, and the fact that an opponent has no board after a verdict, means that Xenagos, the Reveler's tokens can deal direct damage with ease. Domri Rade does not only survive the verdict, but also draws me back into the game, while his loyallity goes UPWARD! He is also removal on a very potent stick. Stormbreath Dragon is a total beating in this matchup, as it punishes Sphinx's Revelation, Azorius Charm and comes down after a wrath to deal direct damage. Often times it can even become monsterus at once, with Nykthos, Shrite to Nyx or Xenagos, the Reveler which peaks at a modest 14 damage on the spot. Not too shabby, that there dragon...
After board against U/W they will enjoy the posibillity of being oneshot with uncountrable Mistcutter Hydras, either played after Supreme Verdict, or after a mana-explosion from Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, Xenagos, the Reveler or simple mana-dorks like Elvish Mystic and Sylvan Caryatid. Nice Azorius Charm... take 8 please!
U/W/R decks will be laughed at while they go to extremes to recover from a well placed Peak Eruption while I casually lay another on the board and when they finally get their lands on board, they will be taking serious burn from Burning Earth. This is also true for any other 3-color deck.
Red aggro is not really a concern, as their creatures stirve to get through Sylvan Caryatid and will die hard to Mizzium Mortars Magma Jet Peak Eruption and Nylea, God of the Hunt, which quite handily rescues my creatures from Boros Reconer.
Selesnya aggro is the next thing I'll test against, so stay tuned for updates and feel free to post comments and give feedback.
