ANIMATED AGONY

Standard Black Red reanimator except this is storm driven.

  1. Griselbrand draw 14 cards

  2. Cast all available spells in hand to achieve the highest storm count you can get.

  3. Cast Tendrils of Agony for the Win AND/OR attack with Griselbrand to secure the Win.

First things first we need to get Griselbrand out by either using Unmask or Faithless looting if Griselbrand is in hand or use Entomb to put Griselbrand in the Graveyard. Use Chrome Mox, Lotus Petal, Dark Ritual or Simian Spiri Guide for mana ramp.

Next, we preferably want to use Goryo's Vengeance or Shallow Grave to pull Griselbrand out of the Graveyard instead of using Animate Dead so we can swing during our combat turn if we do not have enough storm for Tendrils.

I put Pact of Negation in here for a solid Counterspell that doesn't effect the mana pool. I also use Unmask to pull cards out of my opponents hands before performing the combo.

Plus side of using Tendrils of Agony is you gain life as well so even if you can't kill your Opponent with Tendrils you can reactivate Griselbrands ability and attempt another storm attack with another Tendrils. Its almost like the perfect STORM.

Again this is a Turn 1 combo deck and as we all know Combo driven decks are not as secure as Control or Aggro. Any tips to improve would be much appreciated. Thanks!
