Modern is a turn 3.5 format they said.
I laughed.

Removal

Path to Exile:

This is just unfair, kills everythig but Etched Champion, and at a very small price.

Disfigure:

Dorks must die, and it is fun to effectively counter a malestrom pulse

Slaughter Pact :

Since twin is gone, perhaps this should too, thoughts?

Murderous Cut:

I think one is the right number, too many competes with snaps and tasigoyf, but it does kill for one mana.

Creatures

Monastery Mentor:

Provides a win con, chumps, and demands removal.

Snapcaster Mage:

Even without bolt snaps is a powerhouse. Can bring the beats in a pinch.

Tasigur, the Golden Fang:

Tasigoyf, costs ~two mana with fetchs, cantrips, and discard spells.

Discard

Inquisition of Kozilek:

Hits nearly everything, with bloom and twin gone, it is even better.

Thoughtseize:

The reason we are playing a 4/2 split is that between burn and zoo, life matters.

Counter Magic

Remand:

Buys us time, and tempo, letting us dig for answers.

Spell Snare:

Goyf, Bob, Snaps, Arcbound, Manaleak, Peezy, Remand...

Value

Lingering Souls:

Provides blockers, and pressure, a great card.

Painful Truths:

Not so sure about this one, but I do like drawing cards.

Sorin, Lord of Innistrad:

Probably should be cut, but he is sweet, if he lives.
