Twincast seems like the only questionable card, but I'm imagining it's only being run because Glimpse is 20$ for no adequately explored reason.

Formortiis Yes, mostly. But Twincast can also copy opponents' spells, which should come in handy.

Also, since modern, try Darkslick Shores or Jwar Isle Refuge :)

Fizzz, Jwar Isle Refuge looks good. And regarding your earlier comment, most of that is on the way.

The land base could be improved. The obvious stuff is Watery Grave but there are also UB Pain lands.
Not sure what your sideboard is meant to do. It doesn't seem to improve any of your match ups. First thing I would suggest for the sideboard is Leyline of the Void x4. Agaisnt a deck like Tron, you have no way to beat them unless you get lucky with Crypt (and that will require at least 4 mana). Leyline can come in for free and just sit there, hating on Graveyard decks, tron, decks that abuse flashback and some combos.
I would also suggest Surgical Extraction maindeck, as it helps you find Eldrazi decks mainboard, as well as letting you mill 3 cards for 2 life at instant speed, effectively.
If I had an infinate budget, I would also suggest Fetchlands, Snapcaster, Glimpse, dropping Twincast, Wall and Nemesis. Archive trap is also nice if you run some land D lands like Ghost Quarter but I found when I ran it I was siding it out a fair bit.

Got some more cards, and changed the deck a little again.I only put in 3 Watery Grave because that's all I have for now. I also got Dimir Infiltrator , Spellskite , and Duress . I'm thinking I can use Duress with Surgical Extraction [will have in a day or 2] and Archive Trap [also on the way]. And use Dimir Infiltrator to help get the cards I need. Also should I add some swamps or just use the stuff I have for black mana?

Maybe a couple fetches would be good to help Hedron Crab .

catcherinbaseball That's a good idea. I could only find Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse that are modern legal. Did I miss any?

Verdant Catacombs , Misty Rainforest , Scalding Tarn , and Marsh Flats all thin your deck, help Hedron Crab, and can fetch your 3 watery grave.

catcherinbaseball Thanks I'll have to remember those when I order more cards.

catcherinbaseball deck thinning is a myth :P
Dimir Infiltrator doesn't do much, besides dilute your mill base. Spellskite is a sideboard card versus combo like storm and scapeshift or stuff.

LeaPlath I was planning on using Spellskite to protect Mindcrank and/or Duskmantle Guildmage so they don't get sniped before I can activate them. Also could you explain your comment on Dimir Infiltrator , the way I see it I can use it to put the cards i need in my hand, or to activate the Mindcrank - Duskmantle Guildmage combo since it's unblockable.

kraken47 really I think you should focus on either getting the combo online or milling them. They both have very different goals and ways of working.

- Mind Funeral + Fraying Sanity = A lot of cards
- Profane Memento hasn't been mentioned yet.
- Haunting Echoes is a fantastic card
- Archive Trap is one of my favorite mill
- Ensnaring Bridge if legal in modern??

Apologies about them being labeled all 1. my computer is wonky.
