Anyways, I already PMed you that the powerlevel of your deck is very low. Moar discard, moar Meddling Mages. I think for you it will be crucial that you survive the first 4 turns. Don’t know how good Timely is in modern (zoo), but I’d play 4 (over Martyr of Sands). 2 MD, 2 SB or something like this.
Esper Charm is the best control spell atm, sadly. I think you need him.
And you need better finishers. That 5/5 shroud sphinx would be good, probably better than Calciderm (FU @ that block). I think anything that can be targeted is not a good control finisher at the moment (herro mr path), and Sphinx has evasion.

Anyways, you might be able to tune this color combination into a real control deck as soon as the meta gets more defined. Looking forward to this.
Until then, pack SB hate against 12post and Zoo and have good removal and lifegain.

I use Media Player Classic for replay.

It jumps and blocks chandras phoeneix. has problack
jumps and have evasion on offensive.
and has first strike which is good against all of his creatures.

Again…love the videos. Keep on keepin’ on, sirs.
