For now this list did pretty well for me. Card MB I'm not sure would be:Shadow of doubt and Keranos, did any of you guys did try 3 Tasigur? I have only 2 and before buyinganother one I would like some feedbacks. I play with no discard MB for a while now and it did good till now. Also im not sure for the lighthouse, sometimes its awsome and sometimesits the card I hate the most on my side of the table. My personnal all-star ould be Telling time, this card is awsome and IMO this card is way understimated in modern.

I definitely feel that Tasigur is strongest as a 2-of. You don't want to flood with him because he is legendary. I love Telling Time a lot as a draw spell and I used to main 3 of them as well until very recently. From my experience so far, I find that Tasigur's ability is extremely important with him on the field and that made me take a hard look at the draw spells. If you are milling with Tasigur you want your graveyard to be filled with nothing but threats, and using his delve and cards like Murderous Cut go a long way in sculpting your graveyard for him. However I found that too many times I'd have a single copy of Telling Time/Serum Visions/Shadow of Doubt and my opponent would just gladly give that back to me instead of the other cards that have more immediate impact.
As far as Keranos goes, I haven't gotten my copies yet to play around with him in the main but if you are looking for other late game engines Jace, Architect of Thought has really been impressing me more and more so you might want to consider running him just to see how he feels for your style. Batterskull is also powerful as an evasive end game option if you want to go that route. Even Thundermaw Hellkite is sitting nicely with all the Lingering Souls decks running around.
You only want two copies of Tasigur as p00q said. You can use the Anticipate card that is coming from DTK in place of telling time.
The lighthouse is fine with the 4 Snapcasters in the main deck. You should examine your sideboard and figure out exactly which cards are most needed, then refine it.
Your english is fine.

the BR command doesnt cut the modern power level im afraid. what's with that return a creature from your graveyard to your hand crap, isnt that supposed to be BG? change that with destroy target creature or something then it'll work better.

I will surely try Anticipate in place of telling time. The problem I see, is sometimes telling time make me keep on top a card I don't really want, but sometimes its make me put a card on bottom I would like to keep. Maybe one day we will have a card that will give us the choice for the both other cards (in top or bottom). Also for my sideboard, if you mean I have to many singleton, its just that I love to make other player play around alot of thing in game two and three. Example affinity, if he see disfigure and explosives game two he might now be prepared for vandlablast or damnation game 3.

For the BR command, I see it easely replace my single shadow in my MB. For sure it will not replace electrolyze for now but a removal that bring a snapcaster or even a tasigur in my hand at instand speed for 3 seem great. Also it give us another tool for affinity (plating especially) MB. For the discard option, seem weak, but if our opponent is in topdeck mode and of draw pahse sem a good play to have.
I have always prefer using vandal instead of shatterstorm. So many game I have shatterstorm and I want to deal whit that early plating. Also vandlablast is better against tron so you hit an early map. For shattering spree, when its better then vandal its way better and when its weaker its way weaker. I personnaly find shattering ti be a better magic card but I play only 4 land that give red (2 vents,1 crypt and 1mountain). Fetching in untapped shock against affinyty dont seem the good way to do it. Also with the tar pit, sunken ruins( wich can be cascade bluff if shattering spree would be play I suppose) desolate lighthouse and urborg, you might have hand we shattering and the possibility two having acess to only one red mana. But has I said with the correct mana base i do think Its a better card
That is an excellent assessment. Any of the discussed artifact hate cards can be good.
It is good that everyone in this thread discuss card options and understand in which situations the cards are most beneficial to us and detrimental to our opponent

I think that what you said is exactly right. I am unsure what everyone will take out for this but a shadow is a great place to start. I play a teaching lists so I am going to take out 1 electrolyze and 1 think twice.
How do you guys feel about the new anticipate over think twice?
Anticipate is much better at finding an answer or silver bullet out of the sideboard than Think Twice.
I like anticipate over think twice for this reason.

i understand what you mean by getting back a tiago or fulminator, but my list only runs 6 creatures in total (3 tiagos 1 vendilion clique and 2 tasigurs), so it doesnt help that much to fetch a creature from the graveyard. at the same time i feel 3 cmc for any of the two effects is just too much. if it's 2 cmc i would say it's a great card....
The power is in the options. Try it for a few FNMs or online when it is released.

We dont run alot of creatures for sure but if this card make our list it probably will as a singleton. Its give you something against both affinity and tron mb, wich i think is huge and at the worst it will be a bad blightnig at instant speed. Dont get me wrong this is for sure not overpowered but I think that it worth some testing.

It does have relevant early game and late game modes, I have hope but I am really worried it will under preform.
I just wish they would have pushed it a little farther and made it discard a card at random.
Agree - if it were 3 damage/split 2 and discard at random etc.... it wold have way more appeal
