Hi guys,
i would like to discuss with u the POSSIBILITY of this new deck i called (RED) POSSIBILITY :)
Of course everything starts after this card spoiled out. Ok see u in about 20 minutes it will take a while for u to read and understand it.


Done?
OK?
Sure?
Ok?
Remember the spells everyone plays are exiled INSTEAD . They don't resolve. Nobody plays what they are really playing but random digging their library for same type spell. Ok hope u got that.
Here's the deck list that steals a lot from imperial painter deck and since it will be a mono red deck it will abuse froom MOONs...

This could probabilly be the decklist but as i told u i'm here to discuss this with u so any advice is welcome:

x4 POSSIBILITY STORM ( the core )

x4 BLOOD MOON ( the control, less fragile than magus, plus the only other enchantment with PStorm. One of them would prob be casting the other on when PStorm is on the board )

x2 MAGUS OF THE MOON (fifth sixth blood moon , plus it makes play EMRAKUL and COLOSSUS, hoping not to reveal the second magus)


x4 SEETHING SONG (ramp red best card)
x3 LOTUS PETAL (ramp at 0, plus it makes play INFECT COLOSSUS,hoping not to reveal the other petals)

x4 SENSEI's Divining TOP (controls your deck plus allow u to instant draw after the tutor a petal to cast Colossus the same turn u play enlightened)
x4 ENLIGHTNED TUTOR (tutors many key cards for instant winning conditions with Sensei in play)
x4 Faithless Looting (one of the best cards of the deck. Allow u to flashback and control your deck even more. Since is the only sorcery it will make fun to cast a free high casting cost sorcery spell
x4 TIBALT, the fiend-blooded (they tutor for planes walkers or just for themselves HELPING WITH THE DRAW ENGINE)


x4 MAGMA JET (library control plus direct damage to they creatures)

1x Emrakul, the Aeons Torn ( CREATURE winning condition n°1)
1x Blightsteel Colossus ( ARTIFACT creature winning condition n°2)
x1 NICOLAS BOLAS (PLANEWALKER winning n°3
x1 Karn Liberated (PLANEWALKER winning n°4
x1 TIME STRETCH (or any super sorcery spell)


x4 ANCIENT TOMB
x16 lands (1 plain ,r/W fetches,mountains.

Need playtests and prob things to change i don't know ...


EDIT: Curse of Exhaustion is a lockdown.

Only thing I can think of is this in big red deck but they do have sneak attack and through the breach so not sure if this is needed.

remember emrakul here is played and u get an extra turn

Fundamentally, this deck seems slow and unreliable. Spending five mana for a spell that doesn't do much is not a winning play in legacy...

You should probably be playing:

Brainstorm
Ponder
or some other cards that allow you to stack the top of your deck.

You could try to work something using Rule of Law, Arcane Laboratory or Ethersworn Cannonist as lockdown mechanics.

Remember that Possibility Storm does not affect spells cast from the graveyard - like with flashback.

If you want to do silly things, playing Possibility Storm/Hive Mind is one way to push the envelope.

I don't think the OP understands how the card works
It doesn't let you search your library for a card of the same type and cast it
It just lets you cast the next one down with the same type

If you cast lotus petal with Possibility Storm in play and the next artifact you hit is Divining Top, possibility storm doesn't trigger on the cast of the divining top because the top wasn't cast from the hand.

So your lotus petals and tops are most likely to 'cascade' into each other
Your Tibalts are probably going to give you more Tibalts and not Karn/Bolas, etc

So it's like Dragon Stompy but with an incredibly unreliable and/or slow combo win condition which doesn't seem like a deck that's ever going to be good enough.

I know that. thats why there only 5 sorceries, 6 planwealkers (u are right tibalt will end in tibalt for the 50% of the time) . But since u are controlling your deck with top and the flashback card u should be able to avoid that. Thats why if u play a magus of the moon u will end casting emrakul and so on... i think its worth a try.. however i was just trying to build something new..im not saying this is THE FINAL DECK..
happy to discuss this with u.

Heya folks. I put in a good faith first effort at creating a deck for Possibility Storm here

For reference here is the 60 I am starting with.


4 Possibility Storm
1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
1 Shifting Wall

3 Preordain
4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
4 Gitaxian Probe
4 Enlightened Tutor
4 Faithless Looting
3 Past in Flames
4 Seething Song
4 Rite of Flame
4 Manamorphose

4 City of Brass
4 Gemstone Cavern
2 Volcanic Island
1 Tundra
4 Scalding Tarn
1 Karakas

Apparently you can do Possibility Storm + Countered Morph spell (i.e. Zoetic Cavern) to dig up cthulu. Three cards and eight mana is not competitive though.

[Finn]

Or you could do it for 5 mana to make it competitive.

[Finn]

Yeah, Zoetic Cavern says "cast" in the morph description on the card.

[gozmit97]

what is this decks advantage over sneak and show?

also i think the best version would play 5-8 morphs ()4 caverns, 1-4 whetweel).

[Finn]

I don't understand that. Why would anyone use a creature that costs three when you can use one that costs zero. Is there some advantage to using Whetstone or Zoetic Cavern that I am not seeing? I mean - apart from being able to pack multiples. Is that it? You can have lots of them? That is weaksauce.
