---

A deck about the raw power of lightning and electricity, with the lightning god Keranos himself at the helm.

Trying to make this actually playable so a lot of lightning based cards are sadly not included, including; Rooftop Storm (Does nothing) Riddle of Lightning (On theme, but over costed and likely does little damage) Lightning Greaves (Not actually lightning) Flux Channeler (Would be fine, if we had more uses for the counters) Feral Lightning (VERY over costed) Warstorm Surge (Not enough big creatures to trigger it)

Being only UR also unfortunately leaves out some great white and black lightning based fun, such as; Lightning Angel Lightning Helix (Though the art itself is not actually very lightningy) and Warleader's Helix

And basically anything to do with Kolaghan and her brood. We could have used Crosis, the Purger as the commander, to gain access to the black cards such as Blightning and the various brood dragons, but that felt like a very different deck. It's also a shame we can't run Crackling Doom
