Can't decide if I'm going Boros or Gruul for the Prerelease still... Definately building Naya though, haha.
Protip: looking at the product page, it seems last week's spoilers will be our prerelease promos.
You'd think so, but it seems to me that they are all creatures (with the p/t bar in the bottom right). But it seems clear that the Orzhov and the Simic are the same, while Dimir looks, like, a Gigapede? No clue for now.
Love the idea of Cipher, but I don't like the wording so much. It just feels like the Then doesn't need to be there honestly, it makes sense for it to be there though honestly, but it just seems off a bit.
Oh well, time to bring back the 4x Invisible Stalkers and see how nuts they make the cards.
Interesting concept but I don't think we'll see it. First off wizards is bringing back a lot of stuff already, Ravnca, hybrid mana, charms, etc.. Plus it feels as if Wizards dislikes them, they went into a little bit of a talk about them in an Innistrad article(?), saying that the idea of split cards didn't appeal to them either when designing the flip cards (that may have been due to the creature limitations but I digress). And really the main reason it's difficult to speculate this is that it wasn't announced in the set mechanics.
Love the idea though, maybe we'll see it in Sinker or something else in the future.
Guild Fued - 5R Enchantment- You and an opponent each reveal the top three cards of your deck and puta creature into play, if both do they both fight (not exact wording but i'm not rewriting it all)
Oh, and a personal opinion, in decks with a graveyard theme I tend to keep ~4 Mental Missteps in the sideboard to stop those pesky cages and spellbombs. Maybe just leave that to artifact hate, but I've never really minded it. (Plus it's super useful against delver, being able to stop their 3/2 flyer that is neigh on impossible for this deck to block).
I do understand the messenger, however I'm just not sold on him being such a good card in a combo deck, if that is the point of it; just having it come into play taped I'm not too big of a fan of (though in hindsight i do like the interaction of it with a driver and image in play). I don't know, it just feels like it needs a bit more room for other nice cards, maybe removing the Skirsdag High Priest or the Lilliana to make room for things like Ponder or Think Twice to help the combo if thats what you're going for, or just even leave it how it is for a U/B variant of the kamikaze deck. Though I still like the deck, and want to play it in the near future.
Seems like Killing Wave would be a decent inclusion, maybe switch it out with the Dissipates and put those into the sideboard or something, your call. Maybe a bit more card draw, and I'm not entirely sold on the Geralf's Messengers. You also probably want more Bloodflow Connoisseurs, as they are a key part of the combo. Otherwise I really like the deck, hope to use it in the future and that the combo works as intended.
I noticed an interesting combo whilst playing EDH with a tribal Vampire deck (Wound Reflection, Blood Tribute, your turn :p). Thinking how the pieces could be used in modern, I decided to try to make a deck list for an upcoming ptq. This is a basic first attempt, so any comments and card ideas would be appreciated.
Any help is appreciated, and I look forward to seeing what everyone thinks of the deck. I know for sure it needs a lot of work at the moment, can't say i'm a very competent deck builder, especial in a format I rarely touch. Thanks again!

I use cards like Darkness, Wall of Bone, and Kher Keep to try and stall the game while I set up the combo, and use Pact of Negation and Boseiju, Who Shelters All to protect the combo.
