I think this is a good direction! I'd probably go down to 2 diabolic intent though and cut some gsz's as they'll never be better than mana neutral when going off. Pattern getting grizzly into drawing and tendrils I think is one of the stronger lines, might even move 1 shepherd, 1 grizzly, and some patterns into the md. I think the video showed hard casting grizzly is very doable in here by turn 3.
Yeah adding Grizzly main could be good. I think he is better main than SB. Postboard you are boarding out storm stuff for the Pattern/NO package so drawing all those cards loses power to have lethal Tendrils, or walks into the same hate you were trying to dodge. Postboard better to just get the 10/10 or a pseudo-Iona and dodge more hate. But MD Grizzly for storm seems strong.
The point of those tutors was to have a better time when you get disrupted. They won't goldfish as well (mana neutral on storm turn), but they make it easier to get a 2nd wind or set up lethal next turn. Most of the video was getting disrupted and running out of gas. Seems good to avoid that.
Diabolic Intent+Veteran Explorer (from previous turn) is net 0 mana to put any card in hand, very strong on storm turn. Infernal Tutor and Wishclaw can't do any better.
4 Intent might be too many, though GSZ finds Explorer or Dryad Arbor so there's also easier access to both ramp and fodder. GSZ can also "hardcast" green fatties like Archon the same way he had turn 3 grizzly. Postboard GSZ also sets up Allosaurus so you can be uncounterable.dec and troll blue mages.
