Modern Paradox Engine combo decklist.

I saw the initial decklist at Channel Fireball and love the dice factory style of combo. I've altered their list a little bit, namely adding red for Destructive Force and Wildfire.

The deck does not cost too much, only a couple of expensive cards in Chalice of the Void, Ensnaring Bridge, etc. The main deck cards aren't very expensive.

The silver bullet to this deck is Stony Silence. Phyrexian Revoker can also shut down our mana rocks, and Hurkyl's Recall can be a blowout.

Generally when I play the deck I try and play out the mana rocks (Astral Cornucopia/Everflowing Chalice) early for zero, as hand disruption is pretty prevalent in Modern at the moment.

Usually post-sideboard I will look to bring in Padeem, Consul of Innovation/Heroic Intervention for decks that are likely to run targeted artifact removal out of the board, or Back to Nature/Nature's Claim for decks looking to run Stony Silence out of the board.

We also have Darksteel Reactor as an alternate wincon. Most of the time a large Walking Ballista can get the job done, since if your opponent has hexproof (Leyline of Sanctity/Witchbane Orb) you can just attack them, or if they have Ensnaring Bridge you can ping them. But some of the prison decks run both effects ( and decks like Lantern Control will give us plenty of time to win with Darksteel Reactor).

Any suggestions or criticisms welcome.

Testing which is better between using 4 Painted Bluffs or 2 Karplusan Forest's and 2 Yavimaya Coast's.

The pain lands are better for turn 1 Ancient Stirrings, but the Painted Bluffs are better for casting both Wildfire/Destructive Revelry and Whir of Invention.

UPDATE: Just bit the bullet and bought Glimmervoid's as they are much better at both scenarios.
