[Modern] RUGB Vengevine Creature-mash

CMC 1:

4 Birds of Paradise

CMC 2:

4 Phantasmal Image
4 Fauna Shaman
4 Coiling Oracle
4 Lotus Cobra
4 Dark Confidant

CMC 3:

1 AEther Adept

CMC 4:

4 Vengevine
4 Bloodbraid Elf
1 Phyrexian Metamorph

CMC 5 (I swear these will never actually be CMC 5):

2 Mulldrifter
2 Shriekmaw

Land:

4 Ancient Ziggurat
4 Misty Rainforest
4 Breeding Pool
3 Scalding Tarn
1 Watery Grave
1 Overgrown Tomb
1 Stomping Ground
1 Steam Vents
1 Island
1 Mountain
1 Forest

Gameplan is simple: Kill yourself with shocks, fethces and Bobs, while killing them much, much faster.

nuuuuu why would you run anything above cmc 4 with Dark Confidant. I promise you that you will die from it.

-2 Mulldrifter
-2 Shriekmaw
-1 Phantasmal Image
+2 Noble Hierarch
+2 Vendillion Clique
+1 Liliana of the Veil

Even though you won't need Noble Hierarch's white mana, the Green and Blue is good, and the Exalted boost is welcome. I think I'll just re-do the mana-base, because 4 colours is always awkward on your manabase:

4 Ancient Ziggurat
4 Verdant Catacombs
2 Copperline Gorge
2 Darkslick Shores
2 Overgrown Tomb
2 Stomping Ground
1 Breeding Pool
1 Watery Grave
1 Misty Rainforest
1 Twilight Mire
1 Island
1 Raging Ravine

Something like that seems a little better. Based it more round Jund manabases.

Mulldrifter is honestly an all-star for helping set off multiple Vengevines, Shriekmaw I'm ok with dropping though. No reason to lose Images before Metamorphs, at all.

-2 Shriekmaw

+1 Hierarch
+2 Clique

Seems best.

Also, the mana base you gave looks like it'd work for Jund, but not here. This is essentially G/U while splashing Red and Black, your mana base is way too Black heavy and this base has done me fine so far.
