In that deck as it is you can probably get away with as few as 20 lands. Mono white aggro has historically had reach problems (recovering after a wrath or once your opponent just plays bigger dudes) I don't think it can really be fixed without branching into a 2nd color.
Taking a break from the site.

Mentor of the Meek could be really good for card draw.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

I went 5-0 at FNM last night with GW Midrange, then went 2-2 with it today at game day. I just could not catch a break in the first 2 matches, and I had some misplays that ended up being compounded in to full losses by bad luck. Then it ran perfectly and I 2-0d both of my last two matches.

Sounds like what happened with my GW Aggro deck, where I went 3-1 and lost in the final match due to being mana flooded.

So Gamma & I were thinking about getting a group to join a RTR draft on Tappedout.net then uploading our decks to Cockatrice and playing some matches. Anyone interested? Possibly tonight if we can get enough people

Ok... I should probably learn my lesson and not go America everytime I do a draft. Also need to learn to cut down on cards

Jace, the Mind Sculptor isn't standard legal.

Obviously it's Memory Adept.

Seriously though, that deck looks solid. My only idea would be to cut the two Think Twice for either 2 Dissipate or Syncopate.

I dont know modern that well, but 6 wraths seems a bit excessive, especially with thragtusk and resto angel to put you pack in the game (before the sphinxs revelation life swings). Im thinking -1 terminus, and + 1 dissipate/sphere. Seems like you could use a bit more spot removal, so the mass removal doesnt feel wasteful.

That's Standard, not Modern, and you need that many wraths. Standard's a little wacky right now.

Undefeated at FNM tonight. Started drafting Rakdos pack one, got pushed into Azorius, and wound up with an Archon, Azor Elocuter, and two Skynights. I'm happy.
