Deck Description

This is the deck I played at Gatherling.com's Top 8 Pauper Classic 1.06 on 02/01/13 and finished in the Top 4 in the event going 2-1 on the night. The DCI just announced that both Empty The Warrens and Grapeshot was going to be added the Classic Pauper ban list starting on February 6th, so this was my last chance to play a storm combo deck in Classic Pauper.

Here the videos of the matches I played with it:

How to Play

It's a combo deck featuring Empty the Warrens as the finisher.

Basically you want to build your mana base over the first 3 turns while collecting mana boosting cards such as Rite of Flame, Pyretic Ritual, Desperate Ritual, and Seething Song. Use the blue draw/sifting cards early to line up the mana booster cards.

Then once you get your kill card, Empty the Warrens, play all your mana boosters and remaining draw cards ending the combo with Empty The Warrens. Ideally you want to be able to play Goblin Bushwhacker as well to attack right away.

This deck is capable of both turn 2 and 3 kills. The deck can go off turn 1, which if you watch the videos you will see me do.
