Glad I could help. I love this format and have been playing it long enough that I enjoy it now from a deckbuilder's stand point more than I ever have. I think this deck hits all the key points, I wouldn't go all out on it before testing it against some common match-ups. The mana base is a little wonky still but I think it's close. It is still almost $300 from scratch and that is nothing to sneeze at.

The energy stuff is there to take the place of 7-9 fetch lands that rack up to $350-400. Having access to the right colors for what you have in hand is crucial in modern and is especially tricky in a three color deck like this. Glint-Sleeve Siphoner doesn't really do what I want for this deck so I chose to cut it and go all out on Grim Flayer and Tireless Tracker.

Drana, Liberator of Malakir is a bit of Jank (No deck should be without a wee bit of Jank :P). A second Tireless Tracker could take its place if that's more your style.

Yeah the price is the only thing that makes me question this and the jund deck.

I feel the need of Glint-Sleeve Siphoner in the main deck for card advantage and to use the energy from the Aether Hub, Attune with Aether , and Metalspinner's Puzzleknot.

jomnepo I agree. I initially couldn't find a good spot for him. I decided on cutting Blackmail and one Liliana, Heretical Healer  Flip for 3 copies of Siphoner.

I'm thankful that, despite not being as popular as your Jund version, you update this one as well. Real awesome of you.

glint sleeve is a good alternative to dark confidant. which is really what you want to be running but glint sleeve works just as well for $50 less.

I couldn't agree with you more beyondlegend.
Glint-Sleeve Siphoner is better than Dark Confidant if you can keep feeding it energy. No information for the opponent and you can decide when/if you want the card draw. I just added Woodweaver's Puzzleknot back into the mix for three reasons. Primarily for more energy, second for Delirium, and third for the life gain.

I really like the puzzleknot in this build because with all the incidental life gain we get from siege rhino, scavenging ooze, and now the puzzleknot we can outlast our opponents and increase win percentage against aggro decks such as burn, dredge, humans, and Phoenix. And it isn’t a horrible top deck late game because it can help us draw more cards off glint sleeve
