Melek storms!

The deck is designed to not win like typical EDH "storm." EDH storm typically is just a combo deck, generating an infinite storm count and using a storm card to win.

Instead, this deck plays like the Modern storm decks, stringing together spells as you go to build up a big enough storm count.

You use mana/spell doublers (High Tide, Bonus Round) alongside abilities that untap your mana (Reality Spasm, Turnabout, Frantic Search, Snap, Time Spiral, Candelabra of Tawnos) to generate a lot of mana and then cast a lot of spells. There's no way to go infinite in this deck.

Restricting myself to staying away from infinite combos has been a fun challenge and has made the deck different every time although it usually has the same result at the end. Still, flying by the seat of your pants, not knowing exactly if you'll win or not is pretty thrilling.
