First off, typically when you use the abbreviation "B" in Magic, you're referring to the color "Black". "U" is the proper abbreviation when talking about blue cards, so people may get confused when you refer to your deck as "B/G" and it's Black-Green. Going forward, you should abbreviate blue as "U".
Beyond that, if you wish to play competitively, this list is too slow. The list is a little all over the place and if you wish to have success at a competitive level, you typically want a structured curve so you can predict how your turns will generally map out. Your list has a lot of 1 ofs, and splintered strategies in it. Try focusing on one objective when building a deck to help streamline it. Like, if you're goal is to toss out big hard-to-remove creatures like Inkwell Leviathan and Simic Sky-Swallower, then try to focus cards that push that strategy as quickly as possible.
Beyond that, UG is a color combination that isn't well suited to Modern. Outside of Infect, it's difficult to build a strategy that's effective in the format as things currently stand.
It might be alright for casual Modern at the kitchen table, but that all depends on your playgroup's level of competitiveness.
well i never seem to have issues with it runs well and wins a lot at my locals and i want to have big cards out and a bunch of return cards and i know those cards can't be used in modern but i was asking what can i replace them with and i didn't know U/G was blue green thank you!
Hey there and welcome to MTGS! To link cards on this site use the formatting like this: [card]Put your cardname here[/card] to have the cards pop up on screen when moused over. You can also click the buttons at the top of the textbox to input the "code" automatically. It'll help others read your cards and you'll probably get more replies. Also you can click here to see the rules of the modern format and what cards are legal and what is banned.
Usually you want 4 of cards you want to see every game and draw them in your opening hand, 3 of cards you want to draw later in the game, 2 of cards you maybe want to see once in a game, and 1 of cards that you have some way of searching out. You list seems to have a lot of mismatched cards so try to determine what kind of strategy you want to play and we can help out from there.

Hey Maeve, as you're new here I'd suggest reading through the Forum Rules as well as the Subforum Specific Rules. Bumping a thread for the sole purpose of getting more attention isn't cool as it just adds unnecessary clutter to the forums. If you're going to post you should never have a need to double post, and if you do make a double post after a very long amount of time to update the thread make sure it has a good amount of content in it to get the discussions going again. That said, try not to necro a thread ever.

As for you deck something like this would probably be better:
You could also play the card Quest for Ula's Temple to cheat the big guys into play. Its more mono U and not accounting for your budget right now but it can give you an idea of what the deck could look like, then some cuts could be made to make it more budget friendly.

Hate to break it to you, but you have multiple cards in your list that are not Modern legal: Accumulated Knowledge, Counterspell and Temple of the False God are both not legal in Modern.

Things like 4 Coiling Oracle will help you. Also cards like 4 Sakura-Tribe Elder, 4 Llanowar Elves, 4 Arbor Elf, and 4 Utopia Sprawl. These will get you a lot of mana quickly which will allow you to play your big cards faster.
