A Lightning Angel aggro deck that I am testing.
Lightning Angel is the reason i put the deck togheter, because it is a strong creature mostly due the fact that is out of the bolt range. Its haste makes it not slow at all.
It works mostly like a burn deck. The lifelink creatures are there to compensate the lifeloss from lands and Psi Blast/Char (and because i have no better options in the colors), and they also work pretty well with lavamancer and eletrolyze because they have first strike.
The sideboard needs serious work.

Feel free to comment, and sorry for any possible flaw in my english.

Snapcaster mage looks pretty snazzy in that list.
Nice brew!

12 creatures seems pretty slim
Maybe make room for PtE

Delver is retarded. Snapcaster is anywhere from fine to amazing (depends). We have on color fetches for 2 of 3 colors (which makes the manabase inherently more stable than many other 3 color configurations in Modern).

I've tried several Zoo variants out since Nacatl's ban. Zoo is still a great deck. Nacatl's banning opens up construction, and since Delver is arguably the best 1-drop after Nacatl at this point, RWU aggro is looking much better.

Gitaxian Probe over Serum Visions? I recognize the latter digs deeper, but Snapcasting Probe is still a fine play.

[Koby]

Would Meddling Mage make sense with Probe? What about Wee Dragonauts (probably a real stretch for this aggro deck).

Just some ideas from old Star-Spangled Slaughter.
