How has the Sleight of Hands worked out for you? I am running your list above for the past couple weeks and have been seeing more and more success after becoming more and more familiar with it but I’m curious if you have been making any changes to it that you think are improvements.

Also, having you win con exileable is a liability not worth having

2 mannequinn
2 scheming
-1 land

for 3 sleight of hands is what im testing at the moment.

i like the 3/3 split with scheming and charm if you are playing mannequin. you still want to be able to find a way to target it.

Hes just to slow and inefficient.
He does nothing the turn you play him, effctively wasting a turn 2.
For 2 mana he only loots 1 card
He turns on your opponents removal, which is blanked without him. And jace is a lightning rod

Nothing is needed to combat liliana, the opponent shouldnt even be casting it let alone using the +1 ability. Giving yor opponent a free diacard outlet is very risky and i have seen it happen where it killed the lily player

He deck doesnt need additional cards to find the reanimation spells since it plays 7 main deck. If you want anything to be remanded its you reanimate spells. The most important thing to find is the hulk not the footsteps

There are other creature already printed that donthe same thing as cutthroat already modern legal, the choice to not use them is simply the fact that grave titan can do the same thing just fine and can win the game on its own. There isnt room for both in the board

The problem with journey is it does absolutely nothing for you if they dont have a hate card and if they do, it only stops it from being exiled and doesnt deal with the card that is exiling it, you still have to find a way to deal with he relic, ooze or whatever permanent it is. Trying to play around surgical is a waste as you cant really do it. And the 4 mana exile all dont need it in the yard anyway

I have few card specific questions, maybe you have tested any of these:
Memory’s Journey – as a way to protect yourself against extraction, exile grave etc
Eerie Procession – to find Footsteps
Zulaport Cutthroat – or something similar to kill through leyline
Squee, Goblin Nabob – works well with looting, good against lily and you can have a body ^^

Hulk vs griselbrand

Hulk pros/griselbrand cons
Kill is garaunteed, don’t have to rely on drawing more cards or casting other spells once he dies, which makes pact of negation better
Footsteps can’t be dispelled or spell snared
Tapping hulk down wont matter where as the 7 point life swing you miss could easily cost you he game
You get acces to blue card selection and counter magic
Everything in the hulk deck is cast able, unlike bobo and warm.

Griselbrand pros/ hulk cons
The kill can by pass the graveyard
Vengeance is 2 mana(I think that is more of a con since it opens up spell snare)
The splice mechanic works with this deck(though technically you can splice with hulk, you have footsteps and ideas unbound to splice on, but that takes way to much mana to be realistic)

That’s all I could think of, on paper it clearly looks like hulk is better IMO, but I may be biased. I think the griselbrand deck just got popular first so people see it as better

4 or 5 mana sorcery speed spells arent really what you want to be doing in modern

Gigadrowse is great at doing that, but modern is very light on counter magic and blue decks are good match ups due to there non aggressive nature. The first list we played we tried early frost to due the same effect, but it is not worth the board slots.

Pull from eternity would put a stain on the mana for such a narrow card. The cranial extraction/ slaughter games type cards are so rare it’s not worth bothering, also the card cost 4 mana, which might as well be Emrakul. Besides even if you do pull anything back you still have to deal with the permanent that exiled it since the most common grave hate is relic or ooze, so that is why I prefer to have cards in the board that deal with the problem rather then a reactive card like pull where you have to wait for them to exile something before you can even cast it
