[Deck] Dudestorm - a novel(?) Storm idea

[gregorio]

Hi all,

I had the idea to create a Storm combo deck that gets its Storm Count not by Rituals, but rather by creatures. Key to success in this build are Glimpse of Nature and Creatures with an effective CMC of :0: or less.

I've goldfished with the following build:

Manabase
- 4 Taiga
- 1 Volcanic Island
- 1 Tropical Island
- 4 Sclading Tarn
- 2 Misty Rainforest
- 4 Wooded Foothills

Glimpse Effects
- 4 Glimpse of Nature
- 2 Beck // Call

Creatures with effective CMC of :0:
- 4 Burning Tree Emissary
- 4 Wild Cantor
- 4 Memnite
- 4 Ornithopter
- 4 Skirk Prospector
- 4 Tinder Wall
- 2 Priest of Urabrask

Other Deckcycling
- 4 Gitaxian Probe
- 4 Manamorphose

Finishers
- 2 Grapeshot
- 2 Empty the Warrens


This build can go off as early as turn 2 with a good draw, turn 3 quite reliable, turn 4 almost definitely.
The advantage to my mind is that even if the Storm Count is not lethal, you still have some Board Presence afterwards. In my goldfish games I often ended with a Grapeshot at Storm Count 14 and 3 or 4 Creatures in play.

What do you all think about it? Worthwile idea? Or not consistent enough? What should be changed?

PS: If this idea is nothing new, I apologize to the original inventor(s), though I have never heard of it before.

Check out the CheeriOs thread. Basically same idea.

Okay, thanks for the info!

You don't have to play Cheerios. There's a black version too....


4 Glimpse of Nature
4 Diabolic Intent
2 Ad Nauseam
1 Tendrils of Agony

4 Culling the Weak
4 Dark Ritual
4 Lotus Petal
4 Chrome Mox

4 Crimson Kobolds
4 Kobolds of Kher Keep
4 Crookshank Kobolds
4 Phyrexian Walker
4 Ornithopter

4 Verdant Catacombs
2 Marsh Flats
3 Bayou
4 Peat Bog


The curve is so low you can basically draw arbitrarily with Ad Nauseam and not worry about life loss unless you hit a Tendrils or Diabolic Intent, either of which means you have a win condition.

But Cheerios is probably faster now, especially with Beck and Call and with Burning-Tree Emissary to fix red mana for grapeshot
