Can't name a fetch land with Phyrexian Revoker. It can only name nonland cards, fetches are still lands.

I play mostly Elves and Mefolk as my second go to deck, so im not a expert on the deck as most of the others here. But my biggest thing on the land base you posted is that you are so very vulnerable to blood moon. Like to the point that I think you almost lose to it if its resolves turn two or three. And I don't think its a card you can completely ignore in modern. Burn and Affinty variations are even playing with it currently.

Someone would have to do the Math, but I probably have a greater probability of going off fast and them not having a sweeper then I do of having the perfect hand with everything I need to go off by turn 3 and them still not having a sweeper or artifact destroy.
Removing 2 Cards from my deck for Curio MB brings the consistency of my deck down for all my other MUs. And just having it in SB means I have to remove two other pieces that I probably rather have for all the other MUs. (Right now im running GW, so giving up 2 slots to Curio instead of 2 bullets or 2 Chords wont work.)
Curio isn't a new idea. And with Combo elves where your focus is assembling the combo, it might be more viable.
G/R Tron is just a bad match up for us right now. (its a bad match up for a lot of decks). And that's ok, eventually something gets printed that makes the match up a little more even for us. Luckly a lot of people are trying out the G/W version and now the G/B version, and we can win those.
And just because there isn't much we can do about Tron, we still write on here because there is something we can do about the rest of Moderns diversity.

I've never really played magic competitively, just kitchen table with friends. Decided to go ahead and give it a shot when some friends talked me into entering a SCG IQ. Placed 10th overall (4-2).
Here's what I played:
4 Elvish Mystic
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Heritage Druid
4 Elvish Visionary
4 Dwynen's Elite
4 Shaman of the Pack
4 Elvish Druid
2 Ezuri, Renegade Leader
1 Eternal Witness
1 SpellSkite
1 Scavenging Ooze
1 Reclamation Sage
3 Lead the Stampede
1 Chord of Calling
4 Windswept Heath
4 Gilt-Leaf Palace
1 Temple Garden
1 Overgrown Tomb
1 Nythkos, Shrine to Nyk
1 Pendlehaven
6 Forest
2 Chord of Calling
1 Eldritch Evolution
2 Fracturing Gust
2 Abrupt Decay
1 Chameleon Colossus
1 Selfless Spirit
1 Burrenton Forge-Tender
1 Choke
1 Phyrexian Revoker
1 Kitchen Finks
1 Melira, Sylvok Outcast
1 Anafenza, The Foremost
Match 1: Dredge 2-0
Match 2: Jund 1-2
Match 3: Jund 0-2
Match 4: Homebrewed Deck 2-0
Match 5: Dredge 2-0
Match 6: Infect 2-1
I didn't run Nettle Sentinel this event because I wasn't sure of the Meta for my area. I tried to mainboard somethings to give me a better chance during the fist games.
I really liked having the 1 Eldritch Evolution. Every time it came up I was happy to see it. Against Infect I was able to get Melira turn 2. And Dredge I was able to get out Anafenza out by turn 2 as well. Im considering just going for a 2 Chord 2 EE mainboard.
This being my first tournament I had a lot of inexperience against Jund since I have never played against it. I was never able to get Chameleon Colossus out and had a rough time against Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet. One game they played Damnation with a Kalitas out and I had no way to deal with the zombie tokens it left behind. The Only game I won against Jund was thanks to playing double Shaman of the Packs.
Overall I was happy with how it went, and im planning on going to a couple more SCG IQ this year. Competitive play was extremely fun.
