I'm actually working on UW Turbofog for Modern but it's not quite done. I doubt it's any good outside of beating Eldrazi but it's really funny and satisfies my need for lovely Mill decks. It even runs former PT winner Sphinx's Tutelage!

Do you actually have a good matchup against the colorless build? I feel like they can just land a chalice on 1 and/or 2 and you'll eventually run out of castable fogs.

There's a fun Mono White TurboFog deck I top 3'd a local modern event out of like 40 people.

Basically you just run all the white fogs (Holy Day, Ethereal Haze, Angelsong, Dawn Charms) and then just have 4 Font of Mythos, Howling Mines some elixirs for recycling and just fill your opponent out. It's stupid and fun and causes which the reaction

Back up wincon is just run some Luminarch Ascensions and beatdown with 4/4 Angels.

edit: Sideboard Disenchants for Chalice SB tech

I legitimately love matchups where the tron gameplan turns into 'tick up Karn on your own fatties and reset the game' so this deck sounds great imo

Plains x19
Ghost Quarter x2
Reliquary Tower

Ethereal Haze x4
Holy Day x4
Angelsong x3 (can run Batwing Brune if you wanna splash B)

Enchantment:

Luminarch Ascension x2
Oblivion Ring x3
Leyline Of Sanctity x3 (These can probably be SB but I ran them main)

Artifacts:

Temple Bell x4
Howling Mine x4
Font of Mythos x3
Isochron Septer x2
Elixir of Immortality x2

I'm sure the deck could be tweaked to run better but it's "Trolly" and nobody will ever expect to play against it. Best of all it's super budget friendly. A friend said about throwing in a singleton Mikokoro but I think it was like $16.00 at the time so I just ran another Plains.

Ensnaring Bridge is super good against Eldrazi. Lantern Control hoses it pretty hard.

Can't UR Eldrazi just run vandalblast sideboard? Between that and chalice it seems like lantern control would be in trouble. Helps vs affinity, too.

the thing about lantern is you, you have to have your sideboard tech in your opening 7 basically or you don't get to draw it.

That is typically true of every matchup in Modern. Edit: To go into it a little more. You typically only get about 4 or 5 draw steps in modern before the game is probably decided (you might not be dead, but somebody has a pretty inevitable advantage at this point). If it's not in your opening hand, it's probably not gonna show up. If your gonna try to "draw into" your sweet anti affinity/burn sideboard tech, you just gonna be dead. And even drawing into it might not be enough, sense you probably had to make less optimal plays where you chump blocked or what have you just to stay alive.

The problem is that most players, even in a format full of $1,000 decks like Modern, are casual tryhards. We're not likely to go buy $400 of cards that don't have any use in anything else we have just to beat up Eldrazi for like 2 months before it gets banned.

Yep, I just won't play Modern until the next B&R update because the eldrazi decks look horrifically unfun to play against.

Trading a playset for eldrazi mimics at the height of their value was about as pleasing for me as buying a set rabblemasters for 4$. I honestly still try to jam loving rabblemasters in modern fail miserably.

I quite like the Moon Rune one on the left, although the middle one is also decent. The black 1 in a circle just looks silly.

The black 1 seems like it does the opposite of what I thought the whole point was, removing the ambiguity between colorless and generic mana.

It's cool but way too close to Phyrexian mana IMO, I'm guessing they dropped it for the same reason.

Seems like ultimately we got the right colorless symbol though. The two on the left are ok but the one we have is better.
