Possibility Storm good SB card?

After seeing a possibility storm deck in draft, I thought about it and, playing my Colossal Gruul variant, what deck would this be bad against? The only ones I can think of are MBD and the mirror match.

Possibility Storm is actually a great SB card against things that rely on timing. MBD, Esper control, Mono Red Devo (On occasion, if they're trying to win with Fanatic or SBDragon), or any other control based strategy. On the other hand, it's really bad in matches that are mostly creature reliant, such as GR Monsters, Mono Blue, or White Weenie.

I was actually thinking about Possibility Storm combined with Heroic abilities.

Cast some burn, like Magma Jet , targeting your own creature, triggering Heroic... Magma Jet gets exiled, saving your creature... you get another spell... if it's beneficial, you get another heroic trigger, otherwise you get to cast a free burn.

If Red were a little more viable for Heroic, Possibility Storm would be a power enabler for it.

It's definitely viable, and there aren't many better ways to troll someone playing a control deck.

As long as your deck doesn't get screwed over, than it could work as long as you can get it out there fast enough. Just remember that you need to try to use your 15 to deal with many types of match ups, so just make sure that Possibility Storm is strong enough to fit.

Don't worry, i've been playtesting it versus all sorts of matchups. Against control, it works wonders. Against any sort of midrange deck, it works decently, but it really doesn't. Against white weenie, it works great. Against the mirror match (or any G/R monsters deck) don't sideboard it in.

If there's anything i missed, feel free to post it.
