"Above silence, the illuminating storms-dying storms-illuminate the silence above."

-Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

Thought for my first foray into Modern I'd stick with my all-time favorite color combination, blue/red, so here's my low-budget take on fetchless Storm. I may eventually replace Epic Experiment with Gifts Ungiven, but for now I'm enjoying every chance to Experiment for six or seven (or occasionally fifteen!).

If you see a glaring hole in my card selection, or can help me make the deck better without emptying my wallet, leave a comment and I'll be very grateful!

Also, if you haven't read the book I quoted up there, I highly recommend it. Seriously, the Stormlight Archive series has some of the best world building I've ever seen in epic fantasy.
