The last 1-2 slots will depend on your meta, but I can't imagine wanting less than 2 Spatial Contortions if you have Humans and any other aggro/creature combo decks. Wail is good to round out the SB, and I'm a big fan of Emrakul as well.
I'm working on the guide now, should have it finished by tonight, or tomorrow if not.

i'm prepping for team scg in worcester. so i'm trying to figure out what i should do.
When I was testing I had -1 Thragtusk and -1 Wail for them. The Thragtusk and the first Karn are fairly interchangeable because they come in in a lot of the same matchups, with Karn being a bit better against the control decks that are really popular now. The Wail is my 15th slot and is basically a flex slot, so I was using that for the 2nd Karn. The Karns didn't quite seem worth it after testing though - I want the 3rd Tusk more against the aggro and creature-heavy grindy decks more than I want the Karn against control, and I'm liking Wail in the flex slot now, as a swiss army knife against a lot of the field.
Any worries/plans regarding stirrings ban after this last GP? Whether you believe it's warranted or not, it should probably be considered at this point.

On the chance that something does happen, I picked up a playset of Oath of Nissa. And if nothing happens, shrug. They weren't much and I'm sure I'll find a use for them at some point.
It is a good deck in the swiss portion of the tournament but always struggles to "get there" in the finals.
Stirrings is still an insane card but you have to build you whole deck around it which makes it balanced imo.
Im not arguing the validity of a stirrings ban, there's another thread for that. Sometimes though, where there is smoke... A lot of talk of it being the best card selection in the format, making multiple super powerful decks very consistent, it's not out of the realm of possibility that it leaves sometime soon. Oath is the best replacement? Is it good enough? Seems worth having that conversation ahead of time.
I think a ban is pretty unlikely, particularly for the announcement coming in ~2 weeks. The card was dominant in Vegas, no doubt, but it's just one tournament. Not nearly enough data to support a ban. Modern is cyclical and this will all settle down, I think. But it is worth watching the card going forward.

i agree. if kci is the issue, get rid of kci. but people will now just run more artifact hate. it happens all the time in modern.

I still see no reason at all for a stirrings ban.
