Deck discussion for Heartless Priests

Grapeshot would be easier and more reliable than storm entity.

And this combo actually doesnt work unfortunately. The plan is excellent, what actually happens is this:
1) play heartless summoning
2) Pay [R] and cast the ingus.
3) Pay [R] and return him to your hand, add [2][R] to your mana pool.
4) Use the [R] from the ingus to recast the ingus.
5) You're stuck, cuz the Ignus requires a [R] to return to your hand but all you have is [2], which is colorless and doesnt work.

Sorry man, but this idea does work, but this is the best way. its also B/U/R.

You need:
Faithless Looting, Devil's Play, Havengul Lich, Heartless Summoning, Necrotic Ooze, Priest of Urabrask, Swamp, Swamp, Mountain.

Turn 1: Play Mountain, cast Looting, draw into 2 of the above pieces but discarding the Lich and Devil's Play.
Turn 2: Play Swamp, cast Heartless Summoning.
Turn 3: 1) Play Swamp, tap 2 Swamps for Necrotic Ooze. Ooze now has the Lich's reanimator ability.
2) tap Mountain and cast Priest of Urabrask. Add [R][R][R] to your mana pool.
3) as soon as the Priest enters the battlefield, it dies from the Summoning.
4) Pay [R] from the Priest to activate the Lich's ability via the ooze.
5) Pay [R] from the Priest to cast the Priest from the graveyard.
6) The Priest enters the battlefield and adds [R][R][R] to your mana pool again.
7) Repeat steps 4-6 infinite amount of times, as it only costs [R][R] to do and you get [R][R][R], for a net gain of [R].
8) Flashback Devil's Play for the win.

Standard Legal, too. I can't take credit for this, I read it in an article. To integrate it into your deck, i would
-4 Ignuses, -4 Entities, -4 Rituals, -4 Inner Fires, -4 Pyretic Ritual, -2 Staffs, +4 Looting, +4 Devil's Play, +4 Havegul Lich, +4 Necrotic Ooze, +4 Priest of Urabrask, +2 Myr Superion (because a 5/6 for no mana is just plain awesome).
