I'm a sucker for BW control. Maralen of the Mornsong + Aven Mindcensor is something I've been toying with casually for a long time, and being that Aven is actually a pretty decent control element in Modern, I thought I'd attempt a viable build.
// Lands
2 [DIS] Ghost Quarter
4 [ZEN] Marsh Flats
4 [GP] Godless Shrine
5 [HOP] Plains (3)
5 [US] Swamp (2)
1 [ZEN] Arid Mesa
1 [ZEN] Verdant Catacombs
// Creatures
4 [RAV] Dark Confidant
4 [FUT] Aven Mindcensor
3 [MOR] Maralen of the Mornsong
1 [FUT] Tombstalker
2 [AT] Icatian Javelineers
3 [TSP] Serra Avenger
// Spells
4 [DS] AEther Vial
4 [ARC] Path to Exile
1 [M10] Pithing Needle
1 [M12] Oblivion Ring
3 [LRW] Thoughtseize
3 [ROE] Inquisition of Kozilek
2 [DDF] Elspeth, Knight-Errant
2 [NPH] Dismember
1 [MBS] Sword of Feast and Famine
// Sideboard
SB: 2 [DIS] Ghost Quarter
SB: 1 [ALA] Ethersworn Canonist
SB: 3 [CHK] Ghostly Prison
SB: 1 [M12] Grand Abolisher
SB: 3 [PLC] Extirpate
SB: 3 [TSB] Tormod's Crypt
SB: 2 [PLC] Damnation
Icatian Javelineers is there for lack of a better one-drop. He does snipe Bobs and Cliques though, which seems pretty good.
Some of the MD choices will be switched out with testing, I'm sure. The sideboard is mostly just crap thrown together, as I have no real idea what'll be out there at this point.
