This is a first draft of my Braidstorm deck.

The aim is to control the board while counters are accumulated on Braid of Fire , then win with a Comet Storm to the face.

Here are the other cards:
Muddle the Mixture to find Braid of Fire and late game counter.
Lightning Bolt and Mizzium Mortars as removal.
Cyclonic Rift as bounce/mass bounce.Mana Leak to slow my opponent down.
Tezzeret's Gambit and Steady Progress for card draw and proliferate.
Whispers of the Muse once i have 5 counters I can draw an extra card per turn for [U]
Shrine of Burning Rage in case I can't use the Comet Storm
Volt Charge as removal and proliferate
Boom/Bust to lock down my opponent late game once I have Braid of Fire in place.

This is very much a preliminary deck: it might not have a chance in hell of working, but +1 if you like the idea.
Comments and suggestions are very much appreciated.
