You guys are missing one of the main components of Bauble. It can remove a target from the graveyard. If somebody tries to exile something (assuming they are trying to exile all of something from your deck) then you can bauble in response and fizzle their attempt. The deck isn't being hated I am sure right now but if people start packing targeted graveyard hate then bauble is worth it. I'm not saying you have to run it now, but don't discount the card completely.

Modern xWBreakfast at Urza'sxW UWGBantUWG GWRNaya ZooRWG
My streak continued this time against UR Delver, but this one was my fault, I misplayed an Ancient Stirrings instead of Pyroclasm and lost a couple turns later. He told me after the match that I likely would have won if I had cast Pyroclasm.
Next was against American Control. I went off game two, resolved Emmy in game one and somehow managed to lose the match. It was fun as heck though, very back and forth all Match.
Round three was a concession, so I win! -_-
The last round was against Tron, I won with Emmy the first game, conceded G2 when he ate enough of my resources that I couldn't go off with Banefire or cast Emmy, and game three went to time when he mindslavered the turn when I could have won.
Final Result 1-3 (0-2, 1-2, 1-2)
Saturday Modern:
Round one was a repeat of last night's final round. Mono blue Tron with Mindslaver. My opponents have excellent timing with Mindslaver! 0-2
Round two was the bye... A shame bc I can only play three rounds today.
Round three was my first glorious victory!! Turn five wins both games against WU Control. One Emrakul win and one Banefire. I'm going to try to squeeze in a fourth round since if I win, I'll be 3-1 for the first time ever.
Round four was another weird one. A combo of hate bears and soul sisters with a Thalia that kept me off the combo.
Tournie report: first match was against a BWG junk deck. Lost both games too abrupt decay and goifs. Didn't get enough of the combo together to win.
Match two was against BWG tokens. Very similar to first match. Thoughtseizes tokens. Goifs. 2 losses.
3rd match: red deck wins, I lost in 2 games. Just too fast and I didn't put any pyroclasm in my sideboard. Big mistake.
Match 4: playing against modern mill. I swung with an inkmoth and he paths it. I search for a land and he archived trapped me. Twice. The 24th card put into the grave was emrakul. I manage to get a wurmcoil out and swing for the win. Game 2 it seems pretty rough as he has a jace's familiar as a 5/5 but I combo. Drop emrakul and win. Finally my luck turns around.
5th round is against my best friend and I manage to get a third turn jeskai ascendancy and combo off 4th turn. He's playing a mardu midrange deck and picks my hand apart game 2. Game three he draws terribly and I combo off turn 5.
Playing in a shortened tournament today, running with key cards from my sideboard in the main deck because I had to trade in the Defense grid and Torpor orb to get the admission fee paid. So this could be interesting. Report to come.
First match he Glittering Wished for a wheel of Sun and moon and hosed all my card draw. Highlight of game two was when he Vensered my lethal Banefire back to my hand and then wished for Gaddock Teeg so that I couldn't cast in my next turn.
Last round was against affinity. I never got to four mana the entire match.
After the match, I was told flat out that my list needed blooms and reshape. I'm currently testing out a 3/3 split, putting the damping matrices back in the board.
So far, Reshape and Lotus Bloom are performing well for me. I really think the guy was right and that this is what my deck has been missing. I can sense some wins finally coming my way in the near future.

i agree that reshape is a valuable resource for this deck, i have also been testing a one of fabricate instead of the 4th reshape. i feel that this is preferable because it allows t3 fab. for the t4 ir
Round 1: VS DELVER - Game 1 I won with Emmy thanks to two active blooms and an opening hand Tron. Game two I KCI'ed my way to an OTV then sacked enough to cast Emmy again. 2-0 for Team Eggs!
Round 2: VS ANGEL POD - Game 1 was very close, he comboed off with a Spike Feeder and Archangel of Thune. Game two I turned off pod with Damping Matrix and forced him to beat me down. I only drew one Pyroclasm and he eventually took the match.
Round 3: VS B/W TOKENS - went to a deciding game with me taking the first game and scooping to Stony Silence in the second. Final game he won by casting Charge across the Araba and attacking for 25. No joke.
Here's what I'm playing now, minus the Mox Opals. I'm cringing at the thought of dropping that much on three magic cards, but I think that they will push the deck over the top.
Sadly there won't be any tournament reports from me because I'm taking a break from Magic to spend my time and money at the gym, I need to lose 25 pounds or so.

Caleb Durward recently picked up the deck to some moderate success (more on stream than in that video series) He is playing a slower version than I have been advocating for (more lands, thirst over anticipate etc) but the decks are quite similar otherwise. Nice to know I'm not crazy in thinking that Stirrings is the best 1 mana cantrip in the format.
