This deck originally started out as a spell slinger deck where big spells like Time Stretch or using Past in Flames to get a high storm count and win with Grapeshot. Later I realized how strong adding black would be to the deck and so I switched the commander to Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge.

Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge has served me well casting and exiling many free spells both mine and my opponents. However, I have decided to take this deck into a more CEDH route. The primary strategy I am interested in at the moment is Doomsday. An incredible card that has gotten significantly better with the printing of Thassa's Oracle. Despite the potential for several different piles to win, I left other ways to still secure the apocolypse. 1. Brain Freeze and Underworld Breach make for an excellent combo that can mill myself or opponents out of the game with storm increasing with each cast. 2. Another similar combo is Dualcaster Mage and Ghostly Flicker. Casting Ghostly Flicker and copy it with Dualcaster Mage gives us infinite flickers of Dualcaster and another card. Here we would do Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge, which would exile our opponents libraries. 3. Another way to win is using Sensei's Divining Top, Bolas's Citadel, and Aetherflux Reservoir. Sensei's Diving Top can tap to put itself back ontop of the library allowing us to recast it on the battlefield with Bolas's Citadel. Combined with Aetherflux Reservoir this gives us infinite life and we can ping each opponent for 50 damage.
