Shadowborn Apostle Storm.

Get 60 storm and kill the table in one turn with the help of Thrumming Stone.You will need a total of 7 mana. More specifically 5 generic and 2 black.

On your turn you play Thrumming Stone, then you play Shadowborn Apostle. Hopefully you don't wiff on the first Ripple trigger, if you do, you have to hope you can try again next turn.

If you hit another Apostle you're looking good! Keep on casting Apostles and once you've played all of them you pay the last B you have open and sac 6 Apostles to fetch Rune-Scarred Demon. With the Rune-Scarred trigger you fetch Lion's Eye Diamond, cast it and crack it for BBB. Sac 6 more Apostles to fetch Harvester of Souls. Sac 6 more and draw 6 cards. At this point you want to either draw a ritual or a 0 cost rock that can tap for B because you want to continue drawing and casting cheap stuff to get your storm up to 60 and closing the game with Tendrils of Agony.

This deck is a total Glass-Cannon. If someone counterspells your Thrumming Stone you have to get Yawgmoth's Will to try again. If someone counterspells that, you're done and you scoop.

It's a very fun deck to play though. =)

I brewed this with the help of the cEDH subreddit Discord chat, and specific help from tenrose and vrjtvs.

vrjtvs has a list that instead of storm wins with Exsanguinate. His list can be found here: Apostle Attack Squad
