    Need help with building a new deck

    I haven't played MTG since Zendikar, and Since hearing Bloodbraid got unbanned, I thought I would build myself a Bloodbraild elf, landfall burn deck for the modern tournaments for my LGS.

    Here is what I got so far, I am missing a creature from it which I think I want as Undergrowth Champion. But I want to know what you guys think of this first.


    Creatures:
    Bloodbraid Elf x4 ( already have em)
    Turntimber Basilisk x 3 - I have two daggerback Basilisks until I can get two more Turntimbers.
    Groundbreaker x 3 ( planning on getting)
    Ball Lightning x 3 ( planning on getting)
    plated geopede x4 ( Have em)


    Non Creature Spells: Already have all these spells.
    Khlani Heart Expedition x 2
    Explore x 3
    Searing Blaze x 4
    Burst Lightning x 3
    Magma Jet x 3
    Magma Spray x 3

    Land: ( I have all my lands here)
    Evolving Wilds x 4
    8 Mountain
    8 Forest

    Giantbaiting was the way I was going to go with Bloodbraid Aggro, traditional naya zoo style with Wild Nacatls/Kird Apes for early pressure, Burning Tree Emissary for "free" 2/2's, and then Giantbaiting as a way to slam through double 4/4 hasty giants. You have the option of using Bloodbraid as a conspire tapper if you feel the need to get an extra point of damage. It was janky, but man, so much fun. I'll post you a list soon.

    BBE enters the battlefield after you cast the cascaded spell so you can't use her to help conspire.

    The combination of Ball Lightning and Groundbreaker is pretty terrible unless all of your lands can tap for R and G. I'd suggest Boggart Ram-Gang in their place. It doesn't deal as much damage up front, but it gets to stick around. I don't think this type of deck needs/wants Khalni Heart Expedition, you'd rather just curve out naturally with threats. Lightning Bolt should be an automatic x4 as well.
