Deck Description

A Snapcaster control pile, looking to do a value play with Torrential Gearhulk and Magma Opus.

Sideboard for a more counterburn-y approach - either go lower curve entirely or leave in Opus or two to be played with discount from Baral and Electromancer.

Deck discussion for Jeskai Opus

No lightning bolt?

Baral's place seems a bit odd to me too. You don't need it's reduction abil to hit your combo, cause you're gunna gearhulk it, and you don't really need it's reduction abil for the rest of the deck as you've got a low curve in general. I also don't see much use for its draw/discard effect beyond the normal sifting through your deck. You don't need it for the combo, as you can discard opus to itself. It is a nice blocker, but I'm not sure if it warrants the spot in here.

Just my thoughts, maybe I'm missing something.

To be honest, Baral is pretty much for just that: sifting through the deck and getting stuff I'd rather have in graveyard to the graveyard. Aside from that, it's a blocker and possible extra utility for sideboard shenanigans. I'll admit it's probably not a perfect fit, but I keep trying to find excuses for playing the card outside of Storm and it should do some work here at least.
