Stormcatch Mentor is like, good, but you're not really getting a ton of use out of it. I mean you have 12 spells it reduces the cost on. 3 of those already have a cost reduction, situationally removing generic mana from their costs (Light Up the Stage). Those same 3 are the only spells costing more than one generic mana also because Pearl of Wisdom already costs 1 less with Stormcatch Mentor in play because otter.

I haven't played pioneer so take what I say with a grain of salt, especially since I also don't know what good budget options in the format are, but I would say you could probably do with 1 less Stormcatch Mentor since having multiple in play at once doesn't really do anything at all for the deck. Alternatively, throw in a spell that stretches your mana curve a bit and has big impact on the game. Jaya, Fiery Negotiator is already more midrange-esque as a 4 drop, so maybe a 5 cost instant or something like that could fit well. It shouldn't disrupt the deck's flow too much since you can usually cast it reduced for 4, sometimes even 3 mana. Again, I'm not sure what that would be. A big burn or card draw spell comes to mind but I don't know what's in pioneer I really just play pauper lol. Something along the lines of Thunderous Wrath or Lorien Revealed (I know these aren't legal) come to mind as fitting well if this were pauper.

This is a really fun list, Thunderous Wrath holds a special place in my heart as pauper’s only miracle card! One change you might consider is swapping Simian Spirit Guide out for something like Rite of Flame or Seething Song. While they require initial mana to cast, they synergize really well with all your creatures that care about non-creature spells or instant/sorcery spells.

I really wanted to get Fireblast printed into Modern... but we got this instead...

Skoa, Embermage {4}{R}{R} Legendary Creature — Goblin Wizard

When Skoa, Embermage enters the battlefield, deals 4 damage to any target.

Grandeur — Discard another card named Skoa, Embermage, Sacrifice two Mountains: Skoa deals 4 damage to any target.

“I need kindling. You’ll do nicely.”

Is it just be or does this almost feel like deciding to run Thunderous Wrath in burn... high damage payoff but a little bit too Janky?

this deck looks awesome! Thunderous Wrath might be a fun inclusion given that you have Brainstorm to ensure the miracle trigger

Great advice all around DreadKhan!

Meekstone seems like a great tech card I like it!... I also love Ball Lightning too and think I would gladly reduce my Thunderous Wrath count for some... I'm definitely gonna up my Fireblast count too... I was just nervous about playing it alongside Shard Volley but maybe it will work out... I'll make some adjustments thank you!

I love Fireblast and am lucky enough to have a full playset.... I also like to live dangerously hence the Thunderous Wrath lol... maybe I will cut the wraths for more blast?

Really cool concept! I have a few ideas.

Blitz of the Thunder-Raptor helps deal with planeswalkers, and might perform better than Chaos Warp. Run Brittle Blast over Thunderous Wrath.

Not sure about Dismiss into Dream. How many single-target spells or effects are you running? I count 6.

Mana Drain over Dissipate: Having resources for damage later is almost always going to serve you more. Plus, it's a great target for Isochron Scepter.

Speaking of walkers, definitely replace Cloud Key with Rowan, Scholar of Sparks  ^Flip. It's straight up better. Strongly consider Ral, Storm Conduit, if only that it ramps up damage with your commander out. Consider Koth, Fire of Resistance as a decent land-fixer (which means you'll draw less lands and have more mana), and Jaya Ballard for simple acceleration.

If your pool is competitive, you could run Back to Basics or at least Blood Moon. This will slow down many decks and give you more time. Adding fetches in your colors (should be 5) means that you can take out 2 islands and 3 mountains and still hit your curve.

Not sure about Breaking Point and Curse of the Swine. Instead, consider Puppet's Verdict and either Winter's Chill or Cyclonic Rift.

Reins of Power and Insurrection could replace Chain Reaction and Incite Rebellion, allowing you to use those resources against opponents and kill them, which would have the added benefit of removing their creatures.

I know you don't want to run any creatures, but Stuffy Doll is a decent deterrent and is too funny not to leave out.

I think this is brilliant and I can't wait to put it together and play it! The only thing I thought of was what if you get Thunderous Wrath in your hand from either a cycle effect or from having it in your starting hand? It's not that big of a problem, but something like Faithless Looting might help, plus it also works well with the deck in general. But overall, a beautiful build!
