Thousand-Year Storm combo deck focused around getting down Thousand-Year Storm and comboing off the next turn with some cheap cantrips and Pirate's Pillage to give us lots of treasure and draw through our deck to help with casting more cantrips until we can cast a massive amount of Lightning Strikes and/or Shocks with our high storm count. Expansion / Explosion also is great here, adding to our storm count and letting us copy virtually any spell in our deck (aside from the back half of Expansion / Explosion, which we won't cast that often anyways).

Unfortunately it is pretty easy to sideboard against our deck, so our sideboard is focused on transforming our deck from a combo deck to a control deck, with Ral, Izzet Viceroy and Niv-Mizzet, Parun in the sideboard as finishers, along with a full set of Ionize as our counters, with situational cards Negate and Lava Coil depending on matchup.

The maybeboard is another sideboard option I was toying with, that makes our deck more focused on getting Arclight Phoenixs out and attacking with our many cheap spells and cantrips. I feel like this transformative sideboard is weaker than the control plan, but was toying around with the idea anyways.

Feedback is always appreciated!
