There is a critical mass now of cheap efficient creatures with deathtouch allows for a weenie pinger strategy that works well with Viridan Longbow. I think you can add a blue splash to that deck and increase its redundance. It adds a strong Trinket Mage package that inevitably can be narrowed down to open up some sideboard slots, but blue also allows for recurring Tidehollow Strix with Glissa that gives you a flier to block or attack. Academy Ruins also grants a second version of Glissa's ability to recur. I added back in the Executioner's Capsule to the maindeck. What's not immediately obvious is that even though the deck has a naturally strong game against opposing aggressive decks with creatures, the discard sweet allows you to buy just enough time to beat decks like Storm. This deck could have some legs and at least be fun. I think it may have glaring weaknesses to decks like Valakut, but we can see what we want to add into it.
Is there a way to turn all lands into creatures in modern? (Besides some long convaluted combo requiring Urborg, life and limb, and a card that turns all instances of forest into swamp or vice versa.) Even though this combo is fun it doesn't seem practical for competitive play.
Idea is to animate their lands and kill them also.
