Sideboard


Based on Storm and Eggs - still work in progress, but its fun to play.

The combo is Blistercoil Weird plus Paradise Mantle to generate a mana every time we cast a cantrip, then we worth through our cantrips to build storm count. Hopefully we hit Grapeshot or possibly Artful Dodge but if not we should have a pretty pumped blistercoil.

I have had a mix of games with this, either I get it to go off on turn 3 or 4, or I run myself to the point that I have so few cantrips in hand that even if I do try to go off, a single "dead" draw (a land, blistercoil weird or paradise mantle) kills the combo with a storm count too low to win.

I have put together a sideboard that lets me transition into a more standard UR storm deck, using rituals and Past in Flames rather than the blistercoil weird. That gives me an alternative strategy against decks that can easily remove creatures.

I have two more land in than most blister/storm decks I have seen, which I have found allows me to mulligan less, and play more consistent games. It does mean I am more likely to hit a dead draw, but I am relying on Ideas Unbound to get me out of that. I have put Temple of Epiphany in as the extra land, because scry is really useful if you are considering whether to try and "go off" on the next turn.

Any suggestions for changes welcome!
