So I'm not sure if you thought of this, but I'm playing a version of this. I will either maindeck or sideboard Wild Ricochet for so many lulz. My meta has a lot of control and a lot of rakdos return, and even though I can't change the original target for Sphinx's Revelation , I get my own copy.

A possible card from Born of the Gods: Stormcaller of Keranos . It fits with the storm theme and gives you scry which is always good in a deck like this.

hey, u thought of using Satyr Firedancer ? might work well, since u can just burn the opponents, and then have that damage a creature, so its a 2 for 1.

Hello, I have built this deck and at the place that I play they play modern, i have added Lightning Bolt already, do you have any other suggestions?

Possibly some rituals to get to Possibility Storm out earlier maybe? Though that might backfire a bit in the late game...

I already had most of the cards in this deck and liked the setup you have. So I decided to go ahead and spend the 4 bucks on the cards I didn't have and make the build. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with how well this deck plays. So far I am 3-1 only losing to a mono black deck with two millstones in play eating away at my library every turn. So I may add something to deal with pesky artifacts : -D All in all a great build sir. +1

So, after playing with this deck (and thoroughly enjoying it I might add) I made 2 small adjustments. I traded out the two Worldspine Wurm for 2 Melek, Izzet Paragon s which I believe compliment this deck quite nicely. I also added 3 more Steam Vents s and dropped the land count by one as I found myself drawing more land than I would ever need and added one more Guttersnipe in its place.

@xJeallen3x You know that Melek, Izzet Paragon and Possibility Storm don't work together right? It goes around Possibility Storm , which is nice at times. Just stating this, since it's not a widely known thing. More so since no one really plays the cards.

Demolish in the sideboard anyone? I mean it does get around Underworld Connections and the enchantment weapons.

My local FNM meta forced me to sideboard Guttersnipe and add 3 Satyr Firedancer . I only have 1 Worldspine Wurm so I replaced the missing one with a Tromokratis

In some matchups, like rakdos aggro, I like to side 1 or 2 Possibility Storm

I started to play this deck a month ago, still undefeated :D

@Araganor pls come back!

@CanibalKaiser, undefeated as in going 4-0 at FNM with this deck? That's awesome!

I've really wanted to build around Possibility Storm.

Thank you for showing me one... possibility. (GROAN)

Seriously, this is awesome. Nice job.

I am relatively new and hadn't noticed Possibility Storm before.

Here's my game plan:

Turns 1-5: Don't die. Scry Possibility Storm and Borborygmos straight to the bottom. Scry extra Omenspeakers and Wild Guesses straight to the bottom.

Turn 5: Possibility Storm

Turn 6: First cast Omenspeaker which becomes Borborygmos Enraged then cast Wild Guess which becomes Enter the Infinite . Now dump your lands.

Here's my mock list:

Creatures (6) | 4 Omenspeaker 2 Borborygmos Enraged

Instants (20) | 4 Izzet Charm 4 Shock 4 Magma Jet 4 Turn / Burn 4 Lightning Strike

Sorceries (6) | 4 Wild Guess 2 Enter the Infinite

Enchantments (4) | 4 Possibility Storm

Lands (24) | 4 Temple of Epiphany 4 Steam Vents 4 Temple of Triumph 2 Temple of Mystery 6 Mountain 2 Island

Any thoughts?

Maybe Elixir of Immortality in your list so that you put Borborygmos Enraged back into your library if you have to discard him due to him ending up in your hand?

I think Boulderfall is better than Explosive Impact as you want to cast it via Possibility Storm or discard it for CMC damage.

Also with JOU being released, Riddle of Lightning is a nice addition to this deck.

So I finally got around to sleeving up the deck and taking it to FNM.

This. Deck. Is. Fun.

Couple things I noticed though.

  1. We need enchant removal and the mana to cast it in the sideboard. Detention Sphere is basically a counter to the fun, combo nature of the deck and we have no way to deal with it.

  2. We really want that 4th Blast of Genius . I can't count how many times I wish I had that in my hand while playing.

  3. (Related to 2) We really, really, really want that extra land. Coming up short on lands hurt a lot while I was playing and trying to find that 5th land to get Possibility Storm online.

Managed to go 2-2 with the deck. Funnest moment of the night was in the U/W/x match (first match loss, during round 3) when he cast Sin Collector and saw a hand of Catch / Release , Worldspine Wurm , and Blast of Genius . He missed the part of Blast that lets me target players. I have never seen someone get as redder than the Mountain s we play than when I untapped and Blasted him for 11. (It was more for embarrassment for overvaluing the Release when we don't have any white mana to actually use that side.)

On an entirely unrelated not to my above notes, I kinda want to try building a counter spell version of the deck sometime. Just to see how badly it does.

@Bromjunaar:Negate , trigger Possibility Storm , Essence Scatter . That would be amazing! Build it!

Hey! How is JOU treating you? I've been running the basic list of this for a few months now and finally tried my shot at it with JOU in mind, I really like Keranos, God of Storms in this deck list. Draw or Bolt!

Storming with Keranos

Why is Worldspine Wurm in a deck with no green mana.

:/

unholycookies says... #23

He can still cast it. I'm guessing you don't understand the whole idea behind the deck. It revolves around one card. The enchantment.

May 9, 2014 9:49 p.m.

Bromjunaar says... #24

Not only cast it, but it can make Blast of Genius a lethal spell after only a hand full of burn spells.

I've updated my Izzet build. I would appreciate your input once again :)
