Drop the Urza Tron and add Cloudpost , Glimmerpost and Vesuva .

You will get a TON more mana way easier with those.

However, this will make the deck illegal in Modern play since Cloudpost is banned in Modern.

At the very least, add Expedition Map to fetch the exact needed Urza lands.

Most games I get a good land base, and then I get a few Myrs. I had Expedition Map in the beginning, but i ended up not needing them with the 20 Myr I have that add mana

Ill try it again with the Thespian's Stage and Vesuva in there now. It might work better

Did you try Palladium Myr ?

Yes, but he was a little slow for the deck, and with the Myr Battlesphere , i wanted to be able to tap him without losing much. And he costs 3, instead of 2. The cmc of this deck is high enough with 20 land

However, I'm still making changes with suggestions and such, so ill try him out again. I always try out the suggestions before I actually decide weather or not to have them

@Tsanim Thanks for the Expedition Map , but i don't think i need it in this one. I am however making a second colorless deck, more Eldrazi based. that I'm planing on using those in now :)

Ridiculous deck. Truly Bah-Roken. This is one of the best Magic decks I have ever seen.

Thanks. When i saw Color? Meh. listed as the #1 colorless deck on here, I made it my mission to find another colorless deck that could beat it :)

@ Tsanim Cloudpost is banned in modern.

and be careful of simple Pyroclasm 's and wraths main board. and sideboard you can expect a lot of artifact hate since robots is a popular deck.

I love it, plus it's great for players on a Budget! I may just have to build something similar so I can play Modern, at least at FNM.

Have you thought about a sideboard? I'd love to see one...

July 18, 2013 1:55 a.m.

Narwek says... #19

Working on it. Haven't had much time to mess with it for a while

yuval says... #20

also... Mutavault ?

Narwek says... #21

Would have if it wasn't so expensive. What to you guys recommend for the sideboard, as long as it's still colorless?

yuval says... #22

haha thanks to M14 reprint Mutavault is actually less expensive than All Is Dust . I think you should re-consider it.

As for sideboard, it's hard with your color limitations, but some suggestions that come to mind are Grafdigger's Cage , Nihil Spellbomb , and/or Relic of Progenitus against Reanimator strategies and other graveyard shenanigans.

I've also seen Torpor Orb in several Modern sideboards, although I'm not sure what exactly it's supposed to fight in the metagame. Unfortunately, it would prevent your Myr Battlesphere from creating tokens when it ETB, but still might be worth sideboarding if it's crucial to fight something in the Meta.

Dismember for removal, and Spellskite for evasion, e.g. to protect your Battlesphere from removal.

If you're willing to risk splashing colors in your sideboard (which, with 4x myrs of each color might not be a terrible idea), here are some more options:

Single-blue counterspells such as Mana Leak , Negate , Annul , etc.

Ancient Grudge against other Artifacts, e.g. affinity.

In Modern it is crucial to fight the combo decks such as Melira Pod. The best answer to this is Thoughtseize . More budget-friendly choices are Inquisition of Kozilek , or even cheaper, Duress

More removal: Lightning Bolt or Path to Exile

In fact, to support some of this potential color-splashing, maybe even consider running Glimmervoid ? I know it's kind of pricey, but hey it could be cool. Even without it though, your color-producing Myrs might actually give you a good shot at casting an occasional Duress or Path to Exile now and again.

Hope that helped! Would appreciate some advice on any of my decks, if you have the time.

Did a bit actually, though I think I'm going to go with Phyrexian Mana as the secondary thing for spells, in case I dont have the mana. Nice decks you got

Semblance Anvil would make most of your Myr including Myr Superion cost 0.
