Modern Scapeshift?
Deck Help forum

Heya all. I'm currently looking to tweak my scapeshift deck and I'm looking for advice.
And Boom Goes the Volcano! (RUG Scapeshift)
My meta has a lot of UWR control, tron, affinity and Jund as the main decks that see play. However, I'm predicting we will see less Jund and Affinnity and more Naya going forward, so I'm looking for more tools to beat midrnage.
Any suggestions?
I've been considering either Firespout . The 1 red is relevant.
Or Engineered Explosives . Explosives on 1 kills Experiment One, Kird Ape, Loam Lion and Nacalt for 3 mana. On 2 it kills Goyf, and stuff, versus Faeries, it hits sprite and bitterblossom at instant speed, versus merfolk it hits all their lords and stuff.

I think your best bet is to get it out turn 2-3, depending on the play our draw. Most zoo decks will want to spit out their hand and play t1 e1, t2 bte into nactyl and kird ape. so for 1, you can handle most of that hand. leaving other removal for whatever else they drop. I like the EE choice more and more now.

I've been wondering how well Anger of the Gods will do against the zoo decks, since most of it is 3 toughness where Pyroclasm can't touch them, But is that 3 cmc too much?
