Goal is to cast lots of spells and ritual effects like Pyretic Ritual, Desperate Ritual, and Manamorphose to get a storm count high enough to cast a Ground Rift with a Venerated Rotpriest (or multiple) in play to get the opponent to 10 poison counters. Grapeshot can also be another win condition if you can get enough storm count to deal enough damage to the opponent's face or to target your Venerated Rotpriest with enough of a storm count to win. Summoner's Pact searches for the Rotpriests or the other value creatures in the deck like Goblin Anarchomancer. This deck also runs Underworld Breach to re-play cards from your graveyard and up the storm count. Dragon's Rage Channeler, Fetchlands, and Mishra's Bauble help enable the Breach. Abundant Harvest helps to either find land or more pieces for the combo. This deck can win as early as turn 2 if you play Rotpriest turn 1 and turn 2 play a few rituals and another Rotpriest and a Ground Rift with a storm count of 5. For the sideboard, this deck runs Jegantha, the Wellspring as a companion for when games go longer. Boseiju, Who Endures and Haywire Mite for Artifact and Enchantment removal that hates on the combo, Veil of Summer for interaction and protection against counterspells and Thoughtseize effects, Lightning Bolt for targeted removal, and Tyvar's Stand to protect the Venerated Rotpriest or other important creatures against decks with a lot of removal. This can also act as an alternate win condition if you dump a lot of mana into it to pump one of the creatures in play if the opponent has something like a Leyline of Sanctity in play. Considering running Blood Moon in the sideboard to slow down other decks to give more time to establish a win. Also considering running Empty the Warrens as another alternate win condition. Weather the Storm could also be an option in the sideboard against aggressive decks if needed. Let me know if you have any ideas for improvements, thanks for checking this out!
