I've been on GW Company (or Valuetown) for a while now and I absolutely love grinding people into dust and decimating manabases. I've also been experimenting with various Counters Company lists to very good effect as well. In my search for more sweet GW decks (there just aren't enough of them) for modern, I've been trying to recreate the tool box-y feel of Pod while trying to maintain the value gameplan if need be. What I've come up with is this (keep in mind, this is a first draft of the deck and I haven't run games with it yet) - http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/eldritch-value-experimental/?cb=1533748996
Has anyone tried anything like this? The closest thing I've seen is some of those Saheeli Chord lists, but that manabase just seems too loose to me and I'm not a fan of Saheeli in general.

In the GW facebook group, someone recently top 8'd a PPTQ with a list that looked similar but had some different eldritch/chord targets, but still looked to play a value-esque game while having outs that the value decks don't have in the Angel combo to win through severe stalls or when way behind. This seems absolutely fantastic to me and I can't wait to try it out. I'm imagining the sideboard will have various packages for the different decks you can expect in the meta consisting of creatures like - Sigarda, Host of Herons, Gaddock Teeg, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Loaming Shaman, another Ramunap Excavator, Reclamation Sage, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Wilt-leaf Liege, Cataclysmic Gearhulk, Thragtusk, Obstinate Baloth, Windborn Muse, Aven Mindcensor, Kataki, War's Wage, etc.
