Attempting to import Tempo Thresh into Modern is a fine idea (though more than 18 lands is a must), but part of the secret to its Legacy success was 4 Brainstorm/4 Ponder. Now, Serum Visions and Sleight of Hand are much worse, but sticking in cheap cantrips is almost a must.
In Lotus Cobra builds, how good is Explore? I'm thinking it's a nice way to plop down any lands (esp. fetchlands and Ghost Quarters) that get stranded in hand. With one Lotus Cobra, the card's pretty near free. And it cantrips!
...Of course, without a Lotus Cobra, you ain't getting much out of the card besides a cantrip...
Tool Mage 2U

When Tool Mage enters the battlefield, you may search your library for an artifact card with converted mana cost greater than one and less then six. Reveal that card and put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.
I think I've seen this enough times as of now. My pet peeve is seeing creature cards without power and toughness stats.
Anyway, to continue the thread...

I also like Tiago with removal like Dismember and tempo like Repeal, but that may be just me.
Enchantment
Spells with X in their mana cost can't be cast.
"Dang variables, they were always so tricky..."

(This is supposed to be a riff on Vedalken Aethermage's Wizardcycling.)
That being said, does the lack of Flash kill Journey or not?
