Mostly I didn’t think I needed them and I hate extra shuffling, but during the tournament I began to think about the deck’s vulnerability to Blood Moon. It has a lot of basics, but fetches would provide some insurance. If you want fetches I’d cut the Fortresses and two Fountains.

The three drop slot is absolutely packed so you have to maximize your impact. Nebelgast is fine in Standard but Modern is too fast for him. Tapping a creature or two during combat is rarely enough to win a race, making Reflector Mage better in that slot. Geist is incredible in the right matchups, but in many he’s just a slow Boros Charm. This makes him a sideboard card, but you’d only bring him in against decks you’re already pretty solid against.

Intersting list, I will try this, no doubt, but why no fetchlands? Toughts about Nebelgast and Geist, Vial on 3 can be powerful.
