Cards I think should be used in modern (If they are, tell me what deck!)

Well, for starters, I thought Horobi, Death's Wail is pretty good in a cantrip deck where he can wreck face with spells. Maybe even MonoB storm?
Next, Doubling Chant . High CMC, but holycrud, in a certain deck, this could wreck FACE.
Another is Dryad Sophisticate . As a small beater, considering the amount of Non-Basic lands in Modern, this could be good meat for a pump deck/enchant.
Feast of Blood for Vampire Tribal (idk of that's a thing.)
Hellion Eruption as a finisher in Token Decks?
Angel's Grace as a life saver.
Opal Guardian looks fun.
Righteousness OMGBBQ blockallthefatties!
Ally Tribal?Kazandu Blademaster .
Phantasmal Bear Niiice one drop
Lotleth Troll + Tarmogoyf = Profit?
I'll name more later.

Unsummon is out classed by Vapor Snag which is used in Merfolk, U/R Delver, and some other decks I can't remember.
Phantasmal Bear is used in Blue moon but that deck does not show up much.
Lotleth Troll is used in Dredgevine which is a deck that is seen a little.
Angel's Grace is used as a playset for Ad Nauseam combo decks.
No. vampire tribal is not a thing in modern as it is not good enough, so Feast of Blood won't see play even if vampires became a thing I am pretty sure they would want a remove that works 100% of the time.
Ally tribal is sadly not a thing in modern either.
The others are ok but nothing to special.
Personally Righteousness is always so amazing to see happen they never see it coming ever! :3 But it still will never see play sadly.

Horobi doesn't work the way you're thinking it does. It will die before Nighthaze happens

Haha, that reminds me of when some kid played in a modern tournament with a vampire tribal deck. I was playing Jund. This kid was like 9, and for whatever reason, his older brother told him it was a good idea to play in modern. This was my round 1 pairing. I thoughtsieze him turn 1, and quickly realize that he does not have a play for a couple turns. I durdled with bob and lilli for a bit, and slam 2 goyfs in 1 turn. They were 6/7s and this kid looks at me like I am a cruel player. I ultimate lilli and he sacrifices all but 1 land and two Stromkirk Captain , then I play Maelstrom Pulse on the captains and swing for the win.
Next game, I ult Chandra, pyromaster to copy Terminate
3 times, wiping his dudes and beating him to death with an 8/8 raging ravine. His brother looked at me like I was a jerk.
I felt bad for a second, and he dropped after the next couple rounds where he played against affinity and gifts. I played against his brother in round three. I am pretty sure they are still in therapy for what I did to them that day.

gnarlicide Ouch major dream crushing right there. :O That is how everyone else feels when I whip out my infect deck against there decks with poor removal or slow start up. XP

I feel like Doubling Chant could be a thing for elfball.
Also, poor kids. xD

For real, I am pretty sure that Jund is in violation of the Geneva conventions. But since there is not enough evidence to try it for war crimes, wizards just gives it the ban hammer every year or so.
The problem with being a Jund player is, that you have to lose all compassion for others. You have to treat your opponents like a sex crime victim. If you cant bring yourself to that level of jerk-ness... Sorry bud, sell your bobs, goyfs, and lillis and play with fish or something.
What happened to those kids seemed cruel and unusual at the time. But years from now, they will be bitter and hungry for a win. They will thank me for it later.

@gnarlicide: ...or never play Magic at a competitive level again. Or not play Modern. Or quit the game.

Angel's Grace is used in pretty much ever BW deck as a 1 or 2 of.
Unsummon is just a bad Vapor Snag , and even that isn't that good.
Phantasmal Bear used to be used in tempo decks, but was replaced by better cards. Its still in ninjadelver, but that sees no play, so...
Most of the rest of your cards either cost too much, have a cheaper version, or aren't powerful enough to be included. This could include having to be built around, which is typically a no-go unless that combo wins the game.
