Ironically, Modern is currently dominated by blisteringly fast aggro decks, at least one of which (Eldrazi) is likely to be hit by a banning come April. I even suspect that things won't end there becuase WotC are so trigger-happy. You're probably better off buying a Standard deck and modifying it as needed over a year or so. You'll spend $500 at most and your deck may actually be legal for a longer period of time. Standard isn't perfect, but to me at least, it seems healthier and more interesting than the present state of Modern.
One of my mates wants to play the deck at GP Melbourne. I am going to have him sell it when he is down there. If this thing stays unbanned I am going to be shocked. I am 8 for 11 in sanctioned games, one of them I lost to a Tron player having the exact triple runner he needed (Even he admitted that) and another to not knowing how to properly play against Affinity the first time I faced it. This is a deck I had never played before Wednesday. It's nuts. I would love to keep playing it, it feels like Shops Lite, but thats not likely so... Yea.
The colourless Eldrazi deck is basically Modern MUD, which is disgusting imo.
However, when I observed something from wizard over the last couple of years, if the deck does not crush the 3x GP weekend (which I imo doubt atm), it won't see a banning in April but rather 3 months later.

I am not as cynical. I would be willing to make a wager than if the deck continues to put up the numbers it is now, it will eat a ban. Example: Treasure Cruise.
Anyone want a wager on this? Because this deck is getting Banned if nothing changes.
All I'm gonna say is I bought Scalding Tarns at $50 USD, and since Cliques have lost $40 from the last time I saw em, and my final Snapcaster I need for a playset is as low as $60 USD! (:/)
It's a less painful time to be a blue mage's wallet.

Blue and Red are the worst colors in Standard because they don't cast Siege Rhino.
Currently the format is beat them or join them, with about 50% joining them.
A majority of the cards from the deck are from the most recent (in print) block.
The 50% of the meta playing Eldrazi compiled their decks because boosters are being opened to find the pieces (either by players, or vendors to sell to players).
If the core of the deck was not mostly from the most recent set, I doubt it would have hit 50% nearly this fast. It take time to build a new deck with cards that have not been printed in a while, as they get lost in collections. But the amount of the eldrazi decks that have been printed in the last year is a bit disturbing, For the UR lists I think Cavern of souls and Steam Vents are the only main deck cards not printed at some point in the last year (ignoring the Steam Vents expedition)
