Kess, Dissident mage storm EDH. Basic idea of storm is to cast many spells in one turn and then use one of the storm cards (ie. Tendrils of Agony) to make massive impact to the game.

Key cards in this deck are Storm cards, Aetherflux reservoir, Mizzix's Mastery and Past in flames.Paradox Engine with some manarocks is great for storm.

This new commander helps us to assemble storm by giving one "flashback" each turns. You can now also flashback overload cards with overload, so Mizzix's Mastery and Cyclonic Rift are great for example.

I'm not looking for infinite combos or like that, so recommend to tutor something like mizzix's mastery or storm card if your playgroup is looking for fun games.

Tips for gameplay:

-Isochron Scepter with Terminate or Lightning Bolt can be really good against aggressive decks earlygame.

-Don't hesitate to use Cyclonic rift earlygame to something annoying without overload, it can buy you some precious time to assemble storming turn.

-Remember to tap all manarocks when you are casting something with Paradox Engine on board, since it always fills your manapool.

-Keep casting cheap drawspells from turn 1. Having instant and sorceries in graveyard greatly increases your chance to storm effectively later in game.

-Use Chaos Warp ONLY on graveyard hating enchantments OR if it saves your life.

-It's almost always more useful to brain freeze yourself than opponent. Cast brain freeze on opponent only if it mills him completely.

-Let's have scenario where we have mizzix's mastery in hand/graveyard and brain freeze in hand. Cast as much spells you can from your hand and brain freeze yourself. Then you cast Mizzix's Mastery with your commander from the graveyard... Boom its almost quarandeed lethal to someone if not all enemies.

-You can Arcane Denial your own spell (like Gitaxian Probe) to draw 3 extra cards next turn. Fun little thing to do and it fills your graveyard too!

I have now made a complete competitive version of Kess Storm Competitive Kess Storm check it out, if you want more serious stuff!
