Deck Description

Here is what I'm working with for the current evolution of my Storm deck.

It started out with the a fairly standard TES build very similar to what you'd find in a primer on The Source or Storm Boards.

Not really sure what to call it anymore really, its certainly not even close to DDFT or even an attempt to emulate it, but it no longer resembles TES in how it plays either.

Thus we have what Im calling TED for now.

I'm looking towards a meta thats fairly low in Counterbalance or other permission strategies. I've found myself wanting to just pack more threats into the deck. When I'm running into lots of players running discard as their disruption and primarily relying on DRS for gravehate, this evolution has started to look more appetizing for my situation.

And so we end up with this. The biggest alteration being the presence of Doomsday both mainboard and in the wishboard. The only change required to create some viable Doomsday piles was adding in a Doomsday and a Ideas Unbound. Other notable inclusions here include a mainboard IGG and Grim Tutor.

How to Play

There are really too many potential lines of play here for me to list them all out. Any combination of rituals or artifact mana with either a tutor or other threat usually creates some line of play to win.

For anyone unfamiliar with Doomsday in particular though, I'll just list one of the potential piles as a basic demonstration:

In hand: Doomsday, Probe, LED, Dark Rit
Dark Rit into Doomsday

Pile is as follows:
Ideas Unbound
LED
Probe
LED
Burning Wish or Tendrils

Play LED, cast Probe, crack LED for blue with Probe on the stack
Draw and play IU
Play both LED's, cast Probe, crack both LED's for red and black
Draw and either win with Tendrils or Wish for Tendrils and then win.

Leave it to you to think of something like this. :P Seriously, though, it looks awesome. Truly an "epic" creation. XD

Thanks, I'm looking forward to putting it through some serious testing before the next tournament.

Definitely liking the way this deck has performed so far while testing it . The high threat density has made it feel very resilient against disruption.

Its definitely slower than the 'all in' type of play that the TES style storm decks lend themselves to, but this is more the way I prefer to play anyway. I was never enough of a gambler to get the most out of TES.
