Is this your article or your site? We typically don't allow users to advertise for their own content in Modern general, but that's totally fine in Modern community. Let me know so I can move this thread if needed.
Honestly, the question shouldn't be relevant. If you read the article, it's fairly poor quality for a straight theory article, and too jumbled for a reasonable decklist-strategy-sideboarding-metagame place article. If you want a better article explaining the how's and why's of why his deck works, there's plenty of classics by the likes of Zvi Moshowitz et al, Particularly "The fundamental turn and the theory of everything" that has better examples and abstractions of the concepts of why an early threat works.

Thank you for taking the time to read the article and provide feedback. I see in hindsight that trying to apply the theory to a particular decklist did dilute the content, and I will try and keep the articles more focused and higher-quality. I will never be Zvi, but I will keep the discussions going as best I can!
Moved to Modern Community. We can't have the General subforum filled with people posting their own work, especially if they want feedback and criticism on the article and aren't framing it as a discussion piece.
Thanks for moving it, and sorry for the confusion. It is "my" site, so I see how it falls into self-promotion. I try to be *very* selective about which articles I push out in different places, though. I liked Drinkard's article enough today that I thought it worth sharing.
Drinkard provides a solid approach to thinking about more competitive Modern play, along with a fun and competitive list to try out.
