    Re: Ruby Storm

    JosefK: I'm thinking 3/3 our 4/2 is the split for Archer/Snipe respectively and 3x Empty MB – less fizzle this way and (still) enough constant damage. Maybe X Archers, X Bolts and 2x Empty is worth...

    1R 2/1 Archer:
    - Petal, LED, Medallion, Instant, Sorcery will trigger and burn for 1
    - Some fun lines with her when holding artifacts in hand!

    I would 100% up the Defense Grid count if running Bonus Round. Once your opponents gets how this thing works, they can take full advantage of it. Full disclosure: I have not tested the card past...

    Discarding your hand is great if: you've got a Medallion in play, at least 2/3 Mountains and draw into some action. You are probably better off running Tormenting Voice... but, please test it and let...

    I like one MB Empty the Warrens... no reason not to run it really: it is a threat regardless of Burning Wish resolving. 13 lands will make you mulligan more than you should with this deck but, I'll...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    Ruby Storm should be played offensively / aggressively – Chalice does little to further this goal. The same goes for Overmaster (which I personally tried) ... I rather have more redundancy than...
