Modern - Snapcaster Gifts

Well I have a Modern tournament this Saturday and decided that would be making a gift list to try, which ended being something like this.


Lands 26
4  Marsh Flats
1  Scalding Tarn
3  Hallowed Fountain
2 Watery Grave
1 Godless Shrine
1  Mystic Gate
1 Sunken Ruins
3 Island
2 Plains
2 Swamp
1 Snow-Covered Island
1 Tectonic Edge
1 Ghost Quarter
1 Academy Ruins
1 Celestial Collonade
1 Creeping Tar Pit

Creatures 7
3 Snapcaster Mage 
1  Phantasmal Image
2 Sun Titan
1 Wurmcoil

Draw  7
3  Gifts Ungiven
4 Forbidden Alchemy

Utility 3
2 Unburial Rites
1 Crucible of Worlds

Counters 8
4  Mana Leak
2  Cryptic Command
2  Spell Snare

Removal 9
3 Path to Exile
1 Dismenber
1 Go for the Throat
1 Doomblade
1 Damnation
1 Wrath of God
1 Day of Judgment

While I was looking for packages for gifts I got a peak at the sun titan package. With some playtesting in standard with Solar Flare I already know how good Unburial Rites into Sun titan is, running it also makes Forbidden Alchemy extremely good, and since you already run ways to drop spells into the graveyard Snapcaster Mage gets insanely good. Regarding the Wurmcoil, at first it was Grave Titan because it left something behind if he got it by Path into Exile but the fact that wurmcoil can be recurred by Academy Ruins.
The question is if the deck is able to keep up with the speed of Modern, I sure think and hope it does or I will be in trouble this weekend :) .
