Before we begin, I took ALL of my inspiration from THIS forum post. I'm quite new to modern, but I like the format.

This is my first shot at a Storm modern deck. I've already played it once at a casual modern tournament with my local group. It went as expected when you play storm for the first time. Not very well. Won only 1 of 4 matches. So, now it's time for refining and remaking! I want this to work.

Some of my hardest matchups in my group is straight up rush/Burn decks with Eidolon of the Great Revel, my mainboard had no answers and my sideboard had few answers. My only real shot was Lightning Bolt . Or Delver of Secret decks. With all of their Counters and Electrolyze

The most difficult thing I found was getting my combo off at turn 3, or even turn 4. So I was thinking I must be doing something wrong. Tell me what you think!

PS: This is not supposed to be budget by any means. I want this to be my one and only modern deck I take to my local playgroup when we have sanctioned tourneys in the future.

Went 2-2 in modern! — June 10, 2015

I got to say that this deck is so much fun to pull off. Sitting there and calculating how much mana I have after doubling a Splicing Desperate Ritual together with figuring out if I have enough mana left to do a last combo that lands me the win. My heart rate goes through the roof and my hands start to slightly sweat as we play the last game of the night for a price spot. This is why I play Magic!

Was so close to winning the last game which would have given me a price place, but alas. Bad draw/starting hand/mulligan combined with his funky rush Merfolk deck was too much. Fun match though.

I swapped out 3 Thought Scour for 3 Bolts in the main and it worked fine. The bolts were nice for removal or just extra dmg in the combo. Swapped the last Scour with 1 more Grapeshot to the main. Felt I needed to draw my win condition a bit more often.

Also added 4 Remand in the SB (swapped out with Bolts) after the event when I got them in a trade.

Considering removing Blood Moon and Shatterstorm from the SB. Mostly because in my playgroup they aren't really effective. Especially since the once who played affinity stopped. But what should I swap them out with? Is there anything else that is really good in Storm SB?

Any suggestions to how I can make my landsbase a bit cheaper but still do more or less the same thing?
