Hey, what's that?
Timmy, I think it's time we had "The Talk."
Now, I know mom and dad have told you some things, but let Uncle BigPappyJ fill you in on the real deep dirt about the world.
It's harsh, kid. Real harsh. And all that stuff they say they're teachin' you in those fancy pants schools to prepare you for the real world? Hogwash. No one cares if you know the capital of Utah or not, not unless you're trying to travel there. And, really, who wants to do that?
No, we need to talk about the real harsh disappointments in the world like enter the battlefield effects and how they can be blinked to cause a lot of trouble for you and your loved ones.
You got yourself a hand on turn three and you're feeling pretty good, right? Look at those juicy Planeswalkers and killer bombs you're just itching to drop. But your opponent, he's got other plans. He drops a Tidehollow Sculler and you chuckle. How cute. But not a problem, you can burn it out next turn, right? Then, before he lets that puppy resolve, he plays Cloudshift. Now he exiles one card under that Sculler and the other? Gone. Poof. Oblivion!
Or say you've got two creatures on the board turn four and things are lookin' mighty good. He drops a Fiend Hunter. Who plays a Fiend Hunter? This guy. But he Cloudshifts that puppy too, and, bam, one creature into oblivion, the other exiled and you're left wondering what the heck just happened!
And he's not done! You got something better, he can Momentary Blink his own board and take it away from you. And do it again!
But that's not all, the world ain't just there to piss on your oysters, it's there to beat you up while it's at it!
He plays a creature face down. Face down? Who plays morph in Modern? This fine lad does, and he blinks it with Cloudshift or Momentary Blink or Flickerwisp and suddenly you're facing down the 6/6 hexproof trample of a Sagu Mauler -- that NO BODY PLAYS!!! -- or Akroma, Angel of Fury and, let me tell you, she is overflowing with the fury.
What are you supposed to do?
Cry, child. Cry like your daddy did when I mocked him as a child (as an older brother that was not my right, but my obligation).
This real world situation also has Wall of Omens for a bit of card draw and blinking that puppy feeds that hand even more so. *
It's mean, I know. It's harsh. It's life.
It's why I stick with Tron. Because I hate life.
Now run along, Timmy. And you tell your mom and dad Uncle BigPappyJ set you straight.
- Sorry, Timmy, ol' Uncle BigPappyJ had a late-in-life revelation that life is awesome. I mean, it's pretty spectacular. And the longer life I have the more I can tell you about the way the world works. So Soul Warden? That hot mama is a must. This sweet deck is dropping and blinking in so many creatures that a lot of life can be gained. Do it, kid. You'll thank me.
This is a budget build because I'm broke (I have a kid, his toys are infinitely more fun than mine). It's a variation of a neat looking Abzan Blink deck that could be a lot of fun, but also a lot out of the ol' wallet.

Doesn't that look fun?!!
So I'm trying to do a cheap version of it. No CoCo's, no Noble Hierarchs, No green, no fancy lands, but still lots of joy for me and suffering for others.
How would you cheaply build off of this? What should the sideboard look like?
What say you?
