I didn't want to spend the big bucks and buy these cards when they were the centerpiece of a dominant Standard deck. Now I have them on the cheap and can play them in Modern casual. There is a very good reason why cards like Liliana of the Veil increase in price after they rotate and cards like Thragtusk decline significantly in price: the former is competitive in Modern and Legacy, and the latter is not in either of those formats! The best soulbond combo from Avacyn Restored is in this deck.
After completing my play set of Path to Exile, taking out Fog, and shifting the main deck a little, here is the more-optimized deck.
