Ok, kinda difficult to explain. But I'll try.
This is an All-In combo deck. You might recognize cards from Thermo-Thing or UR Prowess, but this is a whole different beast.
Cryptolith Rite
+
Thermo-Alchemist
: Tap Alchemist for a mana, cast Expedite, untap Alchemist, draw. Just like a Goblin Electromancer, but better because it can effectively reduce colored costs, blocks bigger things, and is a threat itself.
Curious Homunculus
: same purpose as the combo above. You'll easily be able to flip it. Plus, an additional body to block, and is a threat.
Aetherflux Reservoir: even if they remove every creature I have, this is still a looming threat. It also stalls the game, albeit in a less direct way. Equivalent of Grapeshot or Tendrils of Agony
Perpetual Timepiece
: serves to flip Curious Homunculus into Voracious Reader, and to enable Harness the Storm. Also prevents us from accidentally decking ourself. Closest equivalent of Past in Flames I could get in Standard
Harness the Storm: what's better than one free spell? More than one. And if you notice, I'm running 4-of's in instants and sorceries, so you will almost always have a second copy. This helps to get around counter spells like Pyromancer Ascension, but it might be better because it also increases the storm count.
The Spells:These are the best cantripping spells I could find. Sure, there is Slip Through Space, Renegade Tactics, and Spark of Creativity, but in testing they are actually terribly inconsistent. There might be better ones out there, but these ones either provide card selection or tempo gain.
I'm open to suggestions. Especially for the sideboard, as I don't play by the meta.
