Hi, This is a semi-competitive Kess Storm deck. This deck is built with MTGO 1v1 in mind (no Sensei or Doomsday) but can be used in a multiplayer setting as well. If so I would do some minor adjustments though (e.g. adding Sensei for once, bolas citadel and other stuff).

Main win-cons is pulling off an Ad Nauseam and the stormin off from there, bouncing artifacts, re-using your cards through Yawgmoth/Underworld Breach etc.

The existing win-cons I've seen for Kess din't really suit my playstyle: Doomsday(not doable in 1v1 anyway), Waste Not and Demonic Consultation. While the waste not win-con was clearly the most enjoyable of those three I felt I wasn't using enough wheel effects and Nekusar simply would have been a better commander.

I ended up adding as supporting win-con through Underworld Breach, as I used UB already as a substitute for Past in Flames (as I believe it's simply better and costs less mana = great for Ad Nauseam). You can do tons of crazy shit with that card. This deck relies on Brain Freeze + Lotus Petal or Grinding Station + Lotus Petal/mox to unfold an infinite mill combo. This can be used to either mill your opponent or build a high enough storm count to laser beam your opponent through Aetherflux. Even though it seems like a lot of cards for a combo, it's easy to setup through tutors or cards like Intuition.

Other noteworthy synergies are:

• Notion Thief and wheel effects. Try casting Notion Thief and Windfall with Underworld Breach in play :-)
• Turbulent Dreams and wheel effects (bounce your opponents permanents, then wheel)
• Dack Fayden and Wishclaw Talisman (tutor for stuff then bring back wishclaw)

Tons of other stuff I'll add later.

I haven't added obvious cards like LED, Imperial Seal, Grim Tutor etc. as these are out of my budget and pushing the boundaries for what is acceptable cards to play in my playgroup. However if you have other suggestions please share:-)
