Ramp up early to get Vadrik on the field as soon as possible to get an early boost from day/night cycle switch then boost him as needed until you get to 3 of power, with 4 being the optimal number to get the best results.

After this, play the draw-treasure instants and sorceries to attain mana ramping spells to get comfortable and really make that sweet storm count go up, with bonus points if you cast spells that allow you to play other spells for free. Remember to use flashback mechanics to replay these same spells for additional value.

Continue as needed until you draw Birgi, God of Storytelling  , Runaway Steam-Kin, Storm-Kiln Artist or Urabrask   and a buyback spell to boost the storm count to untold levels for free or alternatively just cast Electrodominance for X = three to cast Reiterate for free, pay the buyback with Vadrik and loop it infinitely to win at instant speed.

Reiterate has quite a few extra uses, such as looping mana generators like Seething Song to cast big X spells like Molten Disaster and wipe the table all at once.

Either that or just buff him and swing, that works too. Bonus points if you say "I cast Fist" while doing it.

It's a bit faster than Mizzix to start him up due to his lower mana cost but he's also more fragile and has less support available so protect him well as it's difficult to get him back into the game if you lack power-up spells.

The bigger the power, the bigger the X spells. The epitome of a true Muscle Wizard!
