Maindeck: 2 LED is abysmal, you said cabal therapy instead of ritual, you do not need a basic mountain ever. Your protection suite is awkward with MMS running around, so you probably want at least 8 ways to stop your opponent from interacting. Thanks to cabal ritual and thoughtseize, you will see few cards off of ad naus than other TES decks. You add cantrip and tutoring power to a deck that would rather not play for the long game, perhaps consider an IGG main instead of the empty.

Sideboard: IT in the board means again you are willing to combo slow but more secure, going against EtW main. Winds of change seems straight up bad and worse than Diminishing returns, a card your deck has trouble justifying anyway thanks to 0 chant effects. Innocent blood does nothing you want, outside of saving you from a lone platinum angel. You have no answer to Chalice in your 75, or any other artifacts someone might bludgeon you with. You lack of bounce effects is further disturbing. Flusterstorm again pushes you closer to a later combo, while being fucking useless with LED and IT, but amazing against the one kid in your neighborhood still playing solidarity.

Why would you want a version other than Bryant's?

There's something to be said for more fetchlands and Thought Seize instead of the golden lands and Orim's Chant in a metagame full of Wastelands and Vendilion Cliques, B/r/u Storm is a little more consistent and mana efficient than TES in exchange for cutting Orim's Chant and Xantid Swarm.

I'd rather run a full playset of tutors main if I thought I'd see a bunch of Cliques. This list is certainly less consistent
