Turbocharged low CMC version of my grindier Jeleva storm deck. This deck is better suited for explosive starts and early game advantage through early Kess and casting her ability on your burned cantrips/tutors.

The deck wins in 2 ways: 1. Aetherflux with Dramatic Scepter combo; 2. Labman win, involving Intuition or Entomb, Unearth and Demonic Consultation.

Redundancy in tutors and cantrips is a must, as this deck assembles a winning combo by turn 3-4, mainly by abusing Kess's ability to double tutor. For that reason our control suite is mainly cheap counterspells, without much removal, since we don't care about other's threats as much. Scariest threats to us are stax pieces, for which we have easily tutorable and (re)castable answers.

Removed paradox engine, since it's pretty easy to assemble dramatic scepter with this deck. Manual storm isn't really a wincon in this deck, so I've removed Helm of Awakening for Negate.

Sub in Faerie Macabre instead of Praetor's Grasp or Thoughtseize against reanimator or flash hulk.
