Free Storm off Lurrus plus LED, not to mention that it could block or get you back earlier used Artifact mana. Why not?

Lurrus Storm was just dumb, like most Lurrus decks. Glad it's banned.
I think TES is stronger than ANT right now. The popularity of Veil and Oko decks makes the protection suite of Thoughtseize+Duress worse than Veil+Grid. Graveyard decks are popular now, so there is a lot of grave hate, which weakens Cabal Ritual+PiF vs Rite of Flame+Echo of Eons.
This was 5th place in the recent MTGO Legacy Challenge.

It borrows some tools from TES: Veil of Summer and more copies of Wishclaw Talisman, with Grids and Carpet in the SB
Does anybody still follow this deck here?
Just wondering if anybody has tried out the new legacy legal Unfinity card Pair-O-Dice lost?
I dismissed it at first, but tried practicing around with it a little bit, and it has been stronger than expected as a potential supplement to (or even replacement for) Past in Flames. I also saw someone recently did well at a tournament with it on mtgtop8.com.
Thoughts?

Kept a turn 1 hand:
Misty Rainforest
Thoughtseize
Lotus Petal
Lotus Petal
Lion's Eye Diamond
Dark Ritual
Infernal Tutor
Won after stripping their Force with Pair o' Dice Lost deterministically.
Would not have been able to with Past in Flames and while high likelihood Ad Nauseam would have delivered, that is not guaranteed.
Really liking how it's turned the deck into more reliable run flex slots like maindeck Sylvan Library without being a huge liability on the mana base.
What did you roll?
1+1 would leave you 1 mana short for Tendrils I think, but literally anything else (35/36=97%) returns Ritual for IT + 5 mana. Ad Naus must have a lower success rate.
You're right, but the roll was 6+2, not quite deterministic as I said.
But turning back on the artifacts for both storm & mana does make for much more dangerous hands in general.
Only downside is if we fall back into a Miracles control meta where casting PiF on flashback is the plan B to beat countermagic
