I have a Fulminator Mage. Looking at your Emrakul plus some stuff

Ok let me preface this by saying that alternative cards will really lower the power level as there is a reason they are expensive.

Now, first off Wash Out is not Modern legal, so take those out. Also, you have 12 fetchland but only 4 lands you can find with these so we are going to readjust the mana base. We are going to use the 3 slots that Wash Out gave us and move that to lands for a total of 23. I would only run 8 fetches, 4 Polluted Delta and 4 Bloodstained Mires. 4 Watery Graves is fine. I would also drop the Drowned Catacombs as you can not fetch for them and we need basics in case Blood Moon. So since we have Phyrexian Obliterator we need 4 Swamps and to round out the basic lets just do 2 Islands. Add 2 Sunken Ruins just to help with filtering. Also, just in case I would run a single Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to help with the quadruple black. So that is 21 lands. The last two can be any variaty of utility lands possibly? Or just add whatever U/B lands you want.

Now, I think you have too many sorcery speed spells. I get what you are trying to to do, but theoretically you are trying to flip your Thing in the Ice ASAP. Once you do that you wont need unblockable. I honestly say remove the Artful Dodge, and Distortion Strike. and add a mixture of Thoughtseize and/or Inquisition of Kozilek. Maybe a 2/2 split. I would also think of adding in Thought Scour for some extra card draw at instant speed.

I am ok with your instants.

As for your creatures, I have to ask, what is Phyrexian Revoker in here for for besides being a Horror? What will you be naming with him? I would be removing him honestly..... Actually scratch that, I would take out the Hunted Horror. If you play him and then your opponent Paths him, you just gave him 6 power for 1 mana. Yes I know you said over $30 was expensive, but there really is no replacing Snapcaster Mage in this. He is that good.

This is all I really have off the top of my head. https://deckbox.org/sets/1409894 This is what I have changed. I am two cards short since I am unsure of the last two lands.

OK, so we need a few questions answered before we can help you. How competitive are you wanting to make this. What format are you wanting to play and finally, how budget friendly does this need to be.

Weekend bump

Not that I am aware of. There might be a way but I cant think of it.

Yeah, I totally agree that it is ripe for abuse. I know there is not an elegant solution that wont be abusable, I just fear that if does this scam, in the couple of days that Sebi is investigating, they might have 4 other people send  then scam them. Depending on the value (and I doubt it will be a small trade) the scammer will come out ahead and it all be worth it to them.

I also reported the other accounts. Great catch!

I am not having an issue (Chrome). It could just be a hiccup from Sebi changing the site.

I need to learn to read better. Question was answered in post. Thanks Zyron

I am not sure what you are trying to say... but there are many ways to tell if a cards is fake or not. Early generation fakes fail the bend test, water test and light test. Mid Gens fail the light test. New generations you need a jewelers loupe and to inspect the lines on the card. So plenty of ways to tell a fake.

Hey, thanks for responding! Glad to know that there was at least someone that was trusted to help out as I think that was needed. I totally understand the liability of all of that and to an extent, I agree with this. The part of me also sees that there needs to be a balance. Do you have a liability of giving people you dont know access  to sensitive information? Or,do you deal with the liability that you may be harboring an environment that scammers may take advantage of?

As for modding people, in no way am I saying to give power to random people, there would need to be some sort of interview process, which I have no problem giving Sebi info about myself to prove I am not trying to be malicious. I would be glad to share certain things with you guys.

I was just trying to find ways to maybe improve the community and help mitigate the potential scammers.
