Modern forum

Is this still a decent deck to build even after the ban? Ever since the ban it seems like it has disappeared, what would be some good cards to replace Cruise and Dig?
You may not be able to draw cards but you could mill them out and use Snapcaster Mage or other graveyard interactions to achieve the combo, Btw I have found a combo that can be used in standard at least for now, it still uses retraction helix, and subs in a one drop aura that can be returned granted haste and trample to enchanted creature. You could use things like Kruphix's insight to reveal 6 grab the aura, Courser to mill out lands, Dakra Mystic's for more mill pay 1 blue and tap each player reveals the top card of their library's you may choose to send them to the graveyard if not both draw the card. other mill Gather the Pack and Collected Company or Commune with the Gods, the hardest card to get out will be the retraction helix as you can't grab instants or sorcery.

Well, it's about the same as Storm at this point, somewhat viable but dies to any kind of interaction, plus it's slower than Storm and needs Jeskai Ascendancy or else it can't win. The combo deck won't be seeing much play, but I can still see the card being played for value in a tokens deck or Jeskai Aggro build.
