I'm fairly certain that the loss of blue would weaken the deck too much to keep it effective, and just adding white doesn't really seem to add too much to the deck. But I guess I'd that we won't see anything outside of UR, random rogue deck aside.
People forget that Kiki has been in decks since he was printed. I played a Kiki/Seeker of SKybreak deck at one point. Court Hussar was a target at one time. It could get thrown into a boros shell.

In case I didn't tell you, I don't care about your opinion I just want your facts. And not the facts that make you seem smart. I want the ones that are actual facts.
My only question is what would the deck gain from trading blue for white? As far as for this format, I don't really think that trading away the ability to counter things would be a good thing and white doesn't really have anything to offer that I can think of.
Now, that's not to say that going three color isn't out of the question, I just think that keeping the deck 2 color and staying as streamlined as possible would be better than having a third color.
A lot of those things you suggested have higher mana costs or just seem bad, so I don't really think that I'd want to play them. The only things that I could see myself playing right now are path to exile, wrath of god, and idyllic tutor. I guess maybe silence if control ever starts existing.
White/Red board control and stall can serve just as well as Red/Blue dig-dig-dig. Infact in the now slightly slower Modern environment board control is going to be a strong player. You could quite easily tie the package up into a Boros Control deck with more then one win condition.
Great idea, since we lost our dig the tutors will allow this deck to stay consistent. Wraths aren't bad as well.

Yes the lands are for people on a budget (me) shocklands would be so much better. I have found that the Reflecting Pools go well with the filter lands though.
Random Decklist I have been mulling over for a while. Not a ton of research and I dont know a ton about modern. But looking at the list I think I would have some problems with zoo. Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
I once farted during the final match for prizes at an FNM. It was a tense moment, everything was quiet, control vs control, I was about to mana leak, thought about it.. and farted. Then mana leaked.
I personally prefer the tutor to Kiki on paper. I don't like Kiki because he is more expensive and is a creature. In my meta we have a lot of aggro hence a lot of creature removal.
I may change the counters to 2 Lapse and 2 Rebuff and add the 4 Fetch that way.Probably a 2/2 split tarn and flats.
Testing will begin on Saturday.
Flip, I think that was me. Although there could have been a few others running it out there in Lincoln. I dont have the time right now, but I have changed the list up and think it runs stronger now using R/W/U. The problem I ran into was that Midnight Guard and Kiki do not interact well and can not combo. But Abolisher was amazing at protecting the combo.

INN is giving us this bad boy
Who is obviously another wonderful target for any of their abilities. Will we be seeing Tricolour KikiTwin fun? Or even Boros Twin?

Stops control decks from keeping your combo in check on your turn, and you can also use it on your opponents when they're about to go off.
..and people already mentioned Idyllic Tutor as being really good.
Here is an attempt that I will be testing any and all feedback would be appreciated.
4 Splinter Twin
4 Idylic Tutor
Creature 8
4 Village Bell Ringer
4 Midnight Guard
Removal 14
4 Lighting Helix
4 Lighting Bolt
4 Path of Exile
2 Day of Judgement
3 Lapse of Certainty
3 Rebuff the Wicked
2 Mana Tithe
Planeswalkers 2
2 Ajani Vengeant
Lands 20
4 Arid Mesa
4 Sacred Foundry
4 Clifftop Retreat
5 Plains
3 Mountain
4 Leyline of Punishment
4 Leyline of Sanctity
4 Ghostly Prison
3 Silence
20 lands seems ridiculously low, and 4 Kikis seems better. Add 4 Marsh Flats or Tarns?
I may change the counters to 2 Lapse and 2 Rebuff and add the 4 Fetch that way.Probably a 2/2 split tarn and flats.
Testing will begin on Saturday.
Thanks for the feedback.
