Jeskai Ascendancy seems like one of the best storm enablers we've seen in a while- maybe not as good as Past in Flames, Pyromancer Ascension, or Ad Nauseum in eternal formats with access to rituals, but its ability to single-handedly draw spells while generating mana to cast them puts it above those past enablers as far as Standard is concerned.

Technically, we don't have any cards with Storm in Standard, but Jeskai Ascendancy is essentially Haze of Rage, boosting your team for every noncreature spell you cast that turn, ensuring you have nothing but lethal attackers (and that is by far the worst of it's three abilities!). With the amount of mana the engine generates, running a surefire win condition such as Crater's Claws is also an option. After going through some janky Temur decks with Retraction Helix and Astral Cornucopia, I've settled on a mostly Jeskai brew that usually casts Jeskai Ascendancy on turn 4 or 5 and wins the game if it resolves, an all-in, one-card combo deck. Playing the deck feels like (slower) Legacy Storm: you spend your mana sculpting your hand until you draw your business spell and win.

Thanks to everyone in the MTGS community who contributed to the deck, you're incredibly creative and the credit for this deck is yours.
