    Re: Ruby Storm

    Escape to the Wilds does look... wild. Too bad about that pesky green mana symbol. Had it been mono red I would jam a playset in instantly. Though I still think the card has potential to be more than...

    Surprised that no one commented on Throes of Chaos here yet. It looks like a potential substitute for the main deck HUF's in the mono red...

    Personally I'm interested in Light Up The Stage specifically because it lets you play the cards on your next turn. IMO the biggest downside of Act On Impulse (and of the deck in general) is that you...

    Worth noting that this gives us the possibility of playing Ancestral Vision and Wheel of Fate. At instant speed even.
    Maybe a playset of those and a playset of Kari Zev's Expertise would make it...

    I see some have discovered Tormenting Voice. I also see potential here. It's better than Faithless Looting when Bonus Round'ed.

    It isn't clear to me whether you're suggesting to run the 4th Ritual and the 1 helm, or one or the other. And what would you cut to fit them in?

    Re: Ruby Storm

    You're right. I've been trying a singleton Helm on and off and sometimes I miss it. I'll look into cutting 1 Grid or 1 Reforge for 1 Helm. Probably the Grid.
    Maybe even cutting 1 AoI wouldn't be a...

    4 Manamorphose
    4 Seething Song

    One thing that I came to notice is that since the Gitaxian Probe ban the only 1 cmc card we run in the main is Rite of Flame, with the ocasional Overmaster or Faithless Looting showing up. This means...

    First thing that comes to mind is Mana Severance. But I'm a bit skeptical about the enchantment simply because you'd have to build around it to make full use of it, and being dependent on specific...

    The card looks fun, but I don't think it will be picked up. We already have very little trouble generating mana, it's actually the thing we excel at, so I don't see why we would be interested in even...

    Mainboard Defense Grids are surprisingly not a hindrance. They are swapped for the 3...

    It has served its purpose in a few games but you're right that it is the most disposable card in the main and should probably be replaced.

    Re: Ruby Storm

    Why not use Tormenting Voice? Not as crazy as Reunion but requiring only 1 discard instead of 2 makes it less likely to get stuck in hand (or exile).
