I realize this is two green build arounds in a row but I hope this wont annoy too many of you out there. To be honest I was torn between this and Starfield of Nyx but I think I've wanted to build around this card for a longer period of time.
Ban List: I would like to keep this deck within the Modern ban list
Budget: I would like to keep this deck to no more than $7 per card. This is to avoid Ulamog dot Deck (as well as keep the budget down to something someone like me could actually hope to afford).
If we want to make sure we reveal at least two creatures, then the deck needs to have at least 15 creatures. It could also use some ramp to get up to 6 cmc before the game ends. Delve and threshold could interact well with all those cards going into the graveyard.
And my pick has nothing to do with these ideas I just stated. I'm adding 2 Primeval Bounty. It's an awesome card by itself, and in addition, it will turn a 1/1 creature into a 4/4 creature when you cast See the Unwritten so that you get to pick 2 creatures.
For a deck built around lots of creatures, i think we should have some fun with said creatures. 4 Permeating Mass. it's a one-drop, so having a literal army of these guys turning whatever they hit into copies of themselves would be hilarious. Too bad Provoke isn't modern legal. :/ wait... THAT got reprinted?!

Im doing my best to allow this to keep this going without too much in the way of prodding but doesn't it seem a bit counter productive to ramp with creatures? If were gonna run see the unwritten we want a chance to hit BIG threats off of it....
Adding four Mistcutter Hydra, a haste/pro-blue critter? oh hells yes, since we can pump him to 5 for the "Ferocious" trigger, one can hope that we get some nice critters in this deck.

I really like Giant Adephage due to its flavor synergy with permeating mass. I also like Myojin of Life's Web for the ability to throw more creatures on board. That being said I'm going to add three Giant Adephage for the pure flavor. If we have drawn the board out into a bunch of permeating masses we can overrun theirs and keep beating in with our new copies
That is a pretty good point about Myojin. I guess its off the list. Still a cool creature for sure though. Without a dedicated ramp plan it would take far too long to make profitable
We need removal, Beast Within is apparently one of the best removal spells at our disposal. So, adding 2 because Desert Twister is way to expensive to cast and Creeping Mold is too restricted.

So the part of See the Unwritten that says "you may put a creature card among them onto the battlefield", if you choose a creature with X in the casting cost, isn't the X automatically 0?
Also, are we sticking to the Modern ban list? If so, Heart of Yavimaya isn't legal for the deck.
Ah, forgot about the damned Modern stipulation...

I don't know about y'all but I'm having a tough time with this one. You need ramp so that you can cast See the Unwritten before you are dead but you want to be grabbing fatties and not mana dorks when you cast it. I say we branch out to U to use scry to make sure you grab at least one fatty.
*Edit* adding an artifact so we don't have to branch out: 4 Crystal Ball
Voting out Tangle Golem, it just doesn't do much. it's nice as a late drop for free thanks to it's Affinity but as a target for StU, we could do better.

*cracks knuckles*
Okay, a couple Tangle Golems can stay, if we get good ramp early, this guy could hit the field earlier. so, rescinding my vote to "Remove two"
Permeating Mass would have been funny, but it's not all that great in this deck. voting out all four.
Paleoloth with the Adephage would have proved entertaining with recursion, but making room and his ability is moot and situational. (voting out both)
Voting out an Adephage. Looking to trim, and i dislike 3-ofs.
Voting out the Caryatids- we have the Mystics.
Voting out two Crystal Balls- scrying is good when hoping to get full benefit from StU, but until we need it, it's probably not going to used.
Voting out Revivals. We have Witnesses, and we want to keep as many creatures as we can in preferance to StU.

I was doing a bit of a search for modern creatures that would be cool to hit off of see the unwritten.
Gaea's Revenge
Engulfing Slagwurm
Giant Adephage
Moldgraft Monstrosity

This might be a bit of a disliked ideal but I really think we need at least one more form of ramp in this deck. Thus, I am adding 4 Elvish Mystic
I would also like to point out that Craterhoof Beheamoth is technically over priced. However, at $11 ill let the one card slide

Plus Ambuscade has no downside compared to beast within
yes... but do we want to clutter our mana base with deserts? Centaur Garden required Threshold, Heart of Yavimaya requires a forest-sac.
eh, adding 2 Heart of Yavimaya for easy buffs without taking other vital slots.
We could try to work in Raging Ravine for some triggers.
