It's here, but it's dead. You'll have to go to the end of the thread to get the most recent updates, but I think the thread has been defunct since early this year. Good luck.
EDIT: Fixed the link. My bad.

Search for Azcanta has yet to do anything in tournament play. Surprised to see so many people here still high on it.

The list I was playing is very similar to the list Raymond Perez won the last SCG Modern Classic with. I find Wall of Omens to just be an unnecessary 2 drop in a deck with a lot of 2 drops. I played a lot of games with the card and was frequently boarding it out for more action. Now with trying Search for Azcanta you have a lot of cards competing for your turn 2 play.
I think playing less than 3 Snapcaster Mage is definitely a mistake. It's one of the strongest cards in a deck that durdles quite a bit. Raymond ran 3 Snap and 1 Clique. I cut the Clique for Snapcaster #4 to really try to take advantage of Opt being an instant. If I could go back I'd play the Clique instead.
