Been working on a rough list with a friend for a semi competitive modern deck that we can share that wont break the bank. We both like playing blue, so we decided to go from there. Here's what we've come up with so far:
The main point of the deck is to control what gets played via counters, bounce, and burn, while chipping away at life totals with man-lands and smaller creatures.
The Telling Times are a subject of hot debate between my friend and I. I like that it digs 3 deep at instant speed, but he wants some sort of 1 mana cantrip instead. Neither of us can seem to come up with a suitable alternative for either argument, so we're stuck on that atm...any suggestions on that and the rest of the deck would be super helpful, thanks.
Also, I feel like I should make a note of this before everybody suggests it. Delver was already in the list. It got cut because we'd rather get a vial or a conclave down turn 1, and he didn't really contribute anything other than being a beater.
