Storm is a deck unlike any other in the format—a truly “old-school” deck that foregoes any kind of meaningful interaction to go full steam ahead with a linear combo. The victim of repeated bannings due to the power of speedy and non-interactive kills, Storm decks in Modern have had mixed fortunes over the years. But these days, Storm is one of the best-performing archetypes in Modern, with Gifts Ungiven and Baral, Chief of Compliance among the deck’s most recent innovations.

Storm’s game plan is simple, although not intuitive to those unfamiliar with the deck. At its most basic, a Storm player seeks to generate a lot of floating mana through pairing Goblin Electromancer and Baral, Chief of Compliance with various mana-producing cards (known as “Rituals”), such as Desperate Ritual. This process can be prolonged with Past in Flames to cast these Rituals again from the graveyard, and once enough spells have been cast in this way, an enormous Grapeshot will finish the job.
