This is my Kess, Dissident Mage deck. I built this deck out of the Arcane Wizardry Preconstructed Commander Deck, adding in my own upgrades as time went on.

The main win conditions are cards like Aetherflux Reservoir and Sentinel Tower once I can get my storm count up high enough. Big spells like Torment of Hailfire and Comet Storm copied with Primal Wellspring , Increasing Vengeance , and Swarm Intelligence can also kill off one or more people at the table.

If both plans go south, I have a panic button in the form of Young Pyromancer , Talrand, Sky Summoner , and Metallurgic Summonings to make tokens.

Criticisms and suggestions are more than welcome! Thank you very much for checking out my list! :)
