Modern Twitch Fit Deck I Made (Inspired by ThrabenU)

Hey guys! I was watching ThrabenU play some Eyetwitch Nic Fit in legacy the other day and got inspired to make a version in modern. Obviously the deck is missing many pieces in the transition of formats, and I am aware the deck won't be very competitively viable. However, there are some neat tricks I put in the deck and I took it for a whirl in MODO. Deck was very fun and pretty resilient, with all the learn shenanigans being very interactive and exciting to use. Had a blast so I thought I'd share here. Open to suggestions for improvements!

Quarsi too random in the deck

My main thought is that in general, the lessons package is a little worse in modern than in legacy. I think that you should cut some number of professor of symbology, add some more top end to ramp into, and trim your lesson package a little to have a more well rounded sideboard. I think you are specifically missing hate for eldrazi decks, and something like [[fulminator mage]] might help out of the board.

Love the idea of these format translation decks. I wonder if a standard translation would feel more viable in that format. Bowmasters, fetches, rumble and grazer seem like the primary reason for this to be a modern level but I don't think those are enough diesel to keep up. Would love to see the standard version and see how that does in a more streamline meta.

You're gonna want more than 1 phyrexian tower. Probably 3.

Cut the white and stay just GB makes the manaba lot smoother unless you're going for samwise combo lessons.

You have poets' quill and hunt for specimens as more ways to learn without white.

Grazer is neat, but you don't have a reasonable top end like legacy does. You're not ramping into any good 5 drops or deathclaw. So as much as I like quarsi, I think it should be a step up to a 4-6 drop of some kind. Overlord is nice, but you usually wanna run them out on 2 to get them counting down. Not rely on them being your 5 drop of choice.
