This post made no sense whatsoever. Does anyone really play that the auction:
(P) - 2♣ - (P) - 2♠
(3♥) - 4♦ shows both minors with longer clubs? What do you do with a hand that actually has diamonds?
Secondly, after the auction:
(P) - 2♣ - (P) - 3NT (= AAK)
(4♥) - 7♣, why can partner not hold ♠A and ♥A? Good luck explaining to team-mates how you managed to bring back -50 missing the trump ace. "Modified Norman" is indeed the answer here, but not to the question of what might be a good system to play over 2♣.
Sorry pirate, I know you like to troll by writing rubbish but this is bad even for you.
Missed a grand How to bid this?

First, if you play a Strong 2♦ in addition to Strong 2♣ you can set it as that. I don't, but if I played a serious 2/1 partnership, I would lobby like crazy for a 3-way 2♦ - GF balanced, strong hands with primarily Diamonds, and GF 4441 hands. Forget about that though, this is the time to whip out a 3NT Opening asking for Aces. Then you can get this auction (via Mbodell): 3NT - 5♠ (promises ♠A and ♣A, no other Aces) - 7♣. http://www.bridgebas...83-3n-for-aces/

If you used an opening 3NT to ask for specific aces, you'll get to the right spot (assuming the little diamond isn't an issue - hopefully pard has a couple so it is a long trick, or he has a shortage and a couple of trumps, or he has the jack, or the jack luckily falls):
- if pard bids 4♣ - you bid 5♣ (no aces)
- if pard bids 4♥ - you bid 5♣
- if pard bids 4♠ - you bid 6♣
- if pard bids 5♣ - you bid 6♣ (ace of clubs)
- if pard bids 4NT showing two non-touching aces, this must be hearts and clubs so you bid 6♣.
- if pard bids 5♥ showing heart and spade aces, you bid 6♣
- if pard bids 5♠ showing spade and club aces, you bid 7♣
- if pard bids 5NT showing 3 aces, you bid 7NT (ace of hearts being a discard for the little diamond).
- if pard bids 4♣ - you bid 5♣ (no aces)
- if pard bids 4♥ - you bid 5♣
- if pard bids 4♠ - you bid 6♣
- if pard bids 5♣ - you bid 6♣ (ace of clubs)
- if pard bids 4NT showing two non-touching aces, this must be hearts and clubs so you bid 6♣.
- if pard bids 5♥ showing heart and spade aces, you bid 6♣
- if pard bids 5♠ showing spade and club aces, you bid 7♣
- if pard bids 5NT showing 3 aces, you bid 7NT (ace of hearts being a discard for the little diamond).
