Really liking my sideboard beside Surgical and maybe Languish(dunno if I should go back to Settle or Damnation). Still struggling with when to put RIP in. Sometimes it crushes GDS and BG decks and UW and sometimes it just wreck my souls. I try to play a lot around it but I'm still so split if it's actually good in those matchups. Deck feeling great i'm chugging along smashing on my path. Seems like the thread is completely dead tho.
Random tourney x-2 top 8 losing to quarters in Humans and 3-1 today on modern monday. Still chugging strong. Blew out the same guy who beat me in quarters 2-0 like the matchup should usually go.
I really need to improve vs UW and ensnaring bridge matchups but really struggling to find the solution. My mana base has been ok vs Blood Moon so I think i'll live vs that.
MB:
-1 Ratchet Bomb
+1 Kaya
Sideboard:
-1 Kambal(has been really meh for me)
+1 Kaya(probably just straight up better than Kambal)
-1 Stony
+1 Fragmentize(yeah I make my deck worse vs Tron, eggs and affinity but I gain another card to kill ensnaring bridge)
1-2 vs UW Control. I had a sick sequence where I had a tidehollow in play exiling a random card and I play strangler and announce Spell Queller with TKS exiled as the target. He kills my tidehollow in response but I still process some random card in his exile getting TKS back. He scoops and says yeah I boarded awfully. He still kicks my ass game 3. UW control, Titanshift and Tron just suck as matchups. You really can't brick vs UW much or you just get ran over. UWr is an easy matchup but UW damn they are just straight gas. He also had Ancestral turn 1 suspend every game despite mulling to 6 twice and I mulled to 6 every game.
2-1 vs Burn. I won the game 1 at 11. Game 2 he had to topdeck a spell to win. And game 3 he conceded at 19. Collective Brutality is insane.
I like the 1 of fragmantize just to have a turn 1 hardened scales/leyline(ad naus) removal instead of 2 disenchants a 1/1 split. But it has upside and downside, the sorcery speed is a big downside. Besides that I've really enjoyed Avacyn, Sorin was a lot of a win more card for me and I realy didn't enjoy it, but I have 2 cbs main to fight burn.
I've had some issues with Bitterblossom hurting me for too much but it's godlike vs UW, maybe going a bit more greedy and replacing one with an Elspeth is ok.
But yeah the list is good as it is. Don't be scared to cut stranglers post board if they don't hit main threats like vs any kind of Death's Shadow variation.
Good luck in Toronto and write us a report man :).

You need to play 24 lands that is non negotiable. Besides that your land distrubtion is fine, however I much prefer Field of ruin and wastes in the deck, gives you a few % vs bloodmoon and if field of ruin is your only colourless source it doesnt take you off colourless. Also I would play fetches or blood moon is just auto lose.
Reality Smasher is the best card and you should never go below 4.
Relics are bad, even vs dredge. I would rather play more RiP in sideboard. I've had way more success since removing Relics from my maindeck.
There is no reason you should play dismember, cast down is just better.
You need some maindeck answers to Bridge and Moon like ratchet bomb and anguished unmaking.
Fulminator mage is pointless, since all the decks that it's good vs like dredge and scapeshift are 10% matchups anyway.
2-1 GDS
2-0 UW control
2-1 vs BG rock
draw
draw
And in top 8 I won vs
2-1 Burn
2-0 Thalia Stompy
and in the finals I split with BG rock which i'm generally favoured vs, but he was in a rush so I decided to be the good guy.

2-0 vs aristocrats
2-1 vs https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-red-white-eldrazi-aggro#paper. He is a guy at our LGS. I really blew him out with Avacyn.
