The problem you are going to run into is that you have no reactive spells. What if your opponent is running a combo deck? I would suggest to add at least mana leak and  thoughtseize. If you're going for eldrazi don't mess around with the smaller ones but just go for the biggest baddest you can find. Go for Counduit of Ruin as a set up + discount card and start throwing out Ulamog, Kozilek, Sire of Stagnation, Void Winnower. You should probably play All is Dust. And if you really want to go over the top play Emrakul

Charmbreaker Devils seems an ill fit for the deck. Your  deck doesnt want to cast a turn 6 do nothing until the next turn card. Since it curves out at 3 with all the other cards.
If you're willing to invest in the deck I would suggest goblin guide. It's by far the best 1 drop in red in Modern. Also Boros Charm is a great burn/protection spell and should replace either the curse or the show of valor since it just does more in the deck. The curse only does 1 dmg per turn and in modern you can die much earlier than Standard. Try Skullcrack to counter life gain and monestary swiftspear for more hasty openers. Also Eidelon of the Great Revel is great in modern and you might want to consider more burn and less creatures, since modern is full of removal and less full of counterspell that want to be used on a 1 mana burn spell (lava spike, shard volley, rift bolt). Hopefully this helped

Eye of the Storm + Null Profusion + Turnabout. As long as you have cards in hand this is infinite draw + infinite mana + infinite storm if you add grapeshot, Brain Freeze or ignite memories it's almost always an insta win.
Since it's the modern deck I play I love any Splinter Twin combo out there.

I also love the four horsemen Legacy combo.

Whilst that is true, it is a waste of the cascade effect. Hence I would suggest another card that bounces.

After looking into enchantement cards for Modern I would advice the following:
Eidelon of Blossoms,  -> provides you with card advantage something you need in the deck.
Greater Auramancy -> for the sideboard. Provides protection against disruption.
Idyllic Tutor -> Tutor effect so you can search for the appropriate enchantement for the right situation.
Seal of Primordium -> Sideboard or Mainboard -> provides a counter strategy vs affinity while fitting in the plan of the deck.
Choke -> Sideboard. From time to time completely hoses some blue decks in Modern.
Leyline of Sanctity -> Sideboard -> great vs thoughtseize type decks.
Leyline of the Void, Rest in Peace, Ground Seal  -> Sideboard -> Great vs graveyard based decks.
Stony Silence -> Sideboard -> Another great card vs Affiniy + other decks like Tron.
Suppression Field -> Sideboard -> Another way to counter combo decks like Splinter Twin and Collected Company.

Hopefully this helped

If you're trying no be competitive I would advice you to include 4 Path of Exile. As of now you don't have any way to disrupt either Splinter Twin or Collected Company Combo. On the same note you have slow mana. I would advice fetches and shock lands (Windswept Heath,Temple Garden, Overgrown Tomb, Godless Shrine) if you're on a budget you could include Canopy Vista. You could also include Shambeling Vents since it doubles as a creature and as fixing. Otherwise the idea is nice and seems very much fun to play. If you want to look into more cards for modern you could use I would advice gatherer.

You could try Sire of Insanity. It feels super bad to get hit by the effect. And you could include Master of Cruelties for the maximum FU

Lorthos, the Tidemaker is an awesome kraken and you could add high tide for extreme mana value.

As removal I would suggest beast within since it hits all permanents

For modern I would advice spell snare, remand and cryptic command as counterspells. If you´re on a thight budget some of these might be too expensive. You could always play 4 mana leak.

You have a cascade spell with counterspells in the same deck. If you hit a counterspell off the cascade you´re wasting the counterspell. If you want a bounce effect I would suggest into the roil, cryptic command, echoing truth (great vs splinter twin and token decks!), repeal, silumgar's command (toolbox), venser, shaper savant (doubles as counterspell). Depending on the desired effect you can pick accordingly.

After looking on gatherer you might want to look into Avatar of the Resolute and if you add white you might want to add Dragonlord Dromoka to the sideboard vs Control and Dromoka's Command mainboard or sideboard

You could include abzan battle priest in the sideboard vs aggro. It should end up gaining you loads of life. If that's too slow you could include Jaddi Offshoot. So you could splash white for a bigger cardpool and with canopy vista it should be easy to do.

If would goldfish this deck and determine if you're playing too many colourless sources. You might run into hands without colours. This would end up in a mulligan, so you might want to cut 2 colourless lands for 2 coloured lands (like you proposed). However you could cut 1 shrine of the forsaken gods and 1 tomb of the spirit dragon, since the tombs give you sustian vs aggro.

Deck Reviews / EDH: Grixis Casual Storm

« il: Settembre 30, 2015, 10:41:17 am »

Hello all!

This is a storm deck I have build to play at my LGS. It's casual so I have not overloaded on counter or tutors to keep it fun and not a game of solitaire.
It's a multiplayer deck, so I included a couple of boardwipes. I need to test this deck in my meta to see if I need to bump the powerlevel. Cards that might change are grapeshot, empty the warrens. If need be I can include more tutors, more/better wincons, yawgmoth's will as an extra past in flames.

The full list on deckstats:
http://deckstats.net/decks/47927/328728-grixis-storm-

The goal is to cantrip/ritual my way to high stormcounts. Generate mana with artifacts, rituals, mind over matter, turnabout and finish them of with a wincon. Some wincons need to be played ahead of time like young pyromancer and guttersnipe.

Any tips/advice(s) are welcome.
