Howdy ya'll. I'll open up with I'm a Jhonny combo player so bare that in mind.Well I find myself in a rut, I've built and played storm, possibility storm, and am building eggs(shits and giggles side project). Now I love storm and can win games that I shouldn't win with but it is very one sided, and want to try to be more involved in the game. So I built possibility storm, man that was fun, for awhile now it has lost its sparkle and I'm not having fun piloting it anymore. So I'm here to ask the community for deck ideas or at least a direction to go. I'd like to keep it a combo deck but I feel that it may be time for a new deck archtype. Thanks ahead of time.

You can try Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Pestermite/Deceiver Exarch/Bounding Krasis/Restoration Angel. Almost any build will be interactive, and the combo comes into play more than you would think.

U-Tron with Thopter Combo. If you want to be interactive though BG/X is the way to go.

I second the suggestion of TheAnnihilator - though I would look into playing Kiki-Chord. It plays the creatures that TheAnnihilator mentioned but by playing Chord of Calling you get to run a sweet toolbox of 1-of creatures.
Here are a few example lists that have all also adopted the Emrakul, the Aeons Torn + Nahiri, the Harbinger combo.

@Boza ive playtested the ad nauseum and scapeshift before but didnt really like the overall feel of them, ive never played angel's grace so yeah.
@The Annihilator i will have to look into the kikki combos more.
@JoshRigone ill try playtesting the kikki chord a toolbox sounds kinda fun

- cast whatever big spell you want (sadly spells with X in their cost are screwed), my favourite is Eternal Dominion XD
Blightsteel Colossus
+
Shape Anew

@jrogers16 that deck looks dirty, I'm gonna have to at least play test that.

ad nauseum and Angel's Grace has been putting up results.
Scapeshift is by far the most interactive combo deck in the format.
Ramp into Hive Mind + pacts is still a thing, albeit slower.
