Wait.... what's that smell? Hmmmmm smells like somethin spicy. Feels like a storm's a-brewin.
Could use a lot of help with fine-tuning the balance between what counters and burn spells to use, any play testing and advice is appreciated!
A ton of thanks to Nikolai1204 for some of the keys that locked this deck together, I was running mostly Nivix Cyclops + aquaform + 4xEpic Experiment as the win-con I was trying to make work, but the Spellheart Chimera combo with different spells has been crucial.
Creatures:::::::::::
Keranos, God of Storms: With a storm this big, somethin's gotta power it! Gives a lightning bolt each turn or filters for more instants and sorceries, He'll storm right up your ass.
Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius: cuz every storm's gotta have a dragon.
Spellheart Chimera: one of the main win-cons, gets a permanent boost as the game goes on, flying trample to finish you off while you're hiding under the bed.
Young Pyromancer: Great 2-drop, brings his little friends to dance in the rain.
Guttersnipe: Didn't know there was hail in that lightning storm? believe it! Nothing more satisfying than pelting someone til they cry.
AEtherling: Another good finisher, just make him unblockable if the spells run out and swing for the win.
Spells::::::::::
Obviously this storm is a controlled burn. Good thing Izzet has the wheel!
Swan Song - nothing better than seeing someone try to stop the storm and end up with just a pet duck.
Mizzium Mortars and Cyclonic Rift - Hmmm.... there's somethin smart about this storm... it's climbin in our windows, snatchin our people up...
Turn
and
Burn
- a super versatile card, good for the burn or even to take care of those pesky gods that be gettin all up in our brewin.
Shock, Magma Jet, and Lightning Strike - Great instants with versatility, either take care of a weenie or one of the pet ducks, or hit the other person no matter where they try to hide. huehuehuehuehuehuhue
Dispel, Essence Scatter, Dissolve, and Counterflux - for when those other bitches try to funk up your stormin jam, this'll show em what for!
Divination for a little extra card draw... That charge's gotta come from somewhere!
SB::::::::::::::
Skull Crack
- good to side in for those match-ups where you just KNOW that dude's gonna try and weasel out with some life gain, this'll keep 'em on the ropes.
Anger of the Gods and Mizzium Mortars for those creature-based decks.
Gainsay
and other counters for those control decks... nobody can stop this storm!
