Current state of hardened scales

[u/Spackal2]

Hello everyone!

I was a decently longtime hardened scales player, the deck was one of my absolute favourites, but when MH3 came out I just lost my love for the deck. Wrath the skies and meltdown with boros energy running rampant really hindered my enjoyment so I took a break. I am looking to get back into modern but I don't even see hardened scaled on the goldfish metagame, I'm wondering if this deck is just sorta finished? I see some interesting artifact shells with emry and canoneer but nothing remotely similar to what I really enjoyed with scales. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Deck is still playable. Managed to get a T4 at local tourney last weekend, and lost in the finals of an RCQ in July. Won against 2x prowess, zoo, humans and lost to goryos. Are you wanting to play it at an FNM level or grind MTGO?

This is the list I ran but I feel like 2x Emry isn't enough to see the card as often as I'd like. Having [[Test of Talents]] in the SB for wrath/meltdown is real nice and the only other reason to go blue imo. Let me know if you have any questions.
