    Re: Ruby Storm

    I agree that 4 probes is right. I got a little worried last time I played it with 2 burn players and a UR delver deck. Between the ancient tombs and the probes I was trying to mitigate the early...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    The budget build is reliant on a T1 ruby effect from what I've observed. With 6 ruby effects, there is a ~46% chance of having a T1 ruby in 7 cards on the play and that bumps to about 66% when you...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I guess it depends on your meta, but I am not particularly worried about overmaster.

    Gamble also proves too much of a gamble for most situations. The only card I ever want to gamble for is past...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    As far as keeping the wish package, I have the sb guttersnipes to help me through grindy match ups. Especially if opp. brings storm/grave hate and boards out spot removal. You might be able to get...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    My sideboard starts with a pif just because I always want access to it and that makes 8 effective copies between gamble, burning wish, and the 3 others.
    If I have a lot for the match up I will...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I've started using guttersnipes out of the board to mitigate grave hate since an unfortunate number of rest in pieces exist in my meta making past in flames a lot worse. Although, Vieko seems to be...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I ask this because I have never played storm before. With the inclusion of LED's and burning wish doesn't this play like a variant of TES more so than it's own flavor of storm?

    Aside from that, I...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    Just be aware that if a D&T player drops prelate on 2 you cannot win with the main board configuration. That requires your opp. to know what's going on but it could be an issue.

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I would also vote on the grids, especially if their is more RB reanimator (assuming with sire insanity) then the grids are not as necessary anyways.

    That and one of the storm cards can be dropped...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    Truth be told you're probably right. LED over performs for every other storm deck, there is no reason not to expect the same here.

    And it's easy enough to come up with examples where I want ssg...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I get what you mean, I want to push this deck as far as possible, know the best list, and then anyone can always play a worse card for the fun of it. My opinion on the matter is that for this thread...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I took Ruby storm to locals tonight and went 3-2. However, I do think the deck is stronger than that. My two losses were to lands ( glacial chasm) and rip helm combo (welcome to this decks personal...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I've been toying around with this deck a bit for the past ~week and I've found a couple things. BUG is the hardest match up, DRS and force of will is difficult to get around. It's not the worst but...
