Modern Masters draft storm

[FTW]

I just drafted this...


4 Grapeshot
2 Empty the Warrens

3 Lava Spike
3 Reach Through Mists
2 Peer Through Depths

1 Glacial Ray
2 Dampen Thought
1 Desperate Ritual

2 Grinning Ignus
2 Riftwing Cloudskate
1 Errant Ephemeron

1 Vivid Crag
8 Mountain
8 Island


Too cute? I had Dragonstorm and Pardic Dragon in the SB too but it was just not worth running either. I just wished the deck had more mana acceleration, but the Ignuses and splicing Ritual onto Lava Spikes helped.


I tried to do UR storm again and ended up with this pile instead:


1 Grapeshot
2 Empty the Warrens

3 Glacial Ray
5 Dampen Thought
3 Peer Through Depths
1 Reach Through Mists

5 Hana Kami

1 Rift Bolt
1 Spell Snare
1 Stingscourger
1 Paradise Mantle

7 Island
7 Mountain
2 Forest
Vivid Crag
Vivid Creek


Less storm, more LOL? It was harder to actually do things, but sometimes you could Cantrip and mill opponent for 8 or shock 2 things XD

UR Storm/Arcane is clearly supposed to be an archetype in Modern Masters. Has anyone gotten it to work?

The only way I got it to work was mostly relying on [card]Empty the Warrens[/card] for early pressure and burn for the rest of the reach necessary to win. I think I went 3-1 in the draft with that build. It's ok, but if you lose board control you're done for.
