Thanks for the comment and reading the description bjgivesbj! Yeah, Forced Fruition is great at flooding people with options while simultaneously functioning as a one-sided doomsday device.

I have considered Mind's Dilation and Well of Ideas before, but I haven't included them for the same reason I haven't included Eye of the Storm, they're just a little high on the CMC. I might consider putting Mind's Dilation in, but the other two are too high cost to be that symmetrical.

I have considered Grip of Chaos, but it introduces just a tiny bit too much chaos for this deck. This deck functions best when its Disruption is reliable, and Grip of Chaos just messes with our plan too much.

Cultural Exchange might work, since often this deck doesn't care about who controls the creature (like Ian), just that they are on the battlefield. But I don't know, it might be too situational to be good. (I do use this card in my Xyris deck, great in that.)

Storm Cauldron is interesting - it means if people take lands out of a Share the Spoils or Thieves' Auction pile, that those lands would end up going back to their owner. Possibly... But this might attract too much aggro our way, without us being able to actually shut down reliable play.

Shared Fate is interesting at first, but that would just turn into everyone putting the gun to my head and exiling my library when I force them to draw a bunch (like with Forced Fruition. They cast two spells and exile fourteen cards from my library? And then cast Pongify from those cards to get seven more? HA!). It has WAY too much potential to backfire once people realize what they can do. Nope.

Experimental Frenzy and Eye of the Storm can be fun cards.

Lightning Bolt will stay in the graveyard. "Cast" triggers are zone change triggers, Eye of the Storm is looking for an instant or sorcery card to be put on the stack. During resolution Lightning Bolt won't be found in the zone it is expected to be in (the stack) and the part of the ability attempting to exile it won't do anything.

Eye of the Storm doesn't target the spell that triggered it and doesn't say "if you do" so you will still copy the exiled spells and will be able to cast the copies.

603.6. Trigger events that involve objects changing zones are called “zone-change triggers.” Many abilities with zone-change triggers attempt to do something to that object after it changes zones. During resolution, these abilities look for the object in the zone that it moved to. If the object is unable to be found in the zone it went to, the part of the ability attempting to do something to the object will fail to do anything. The ability could be unable to find the object because the object never entered the specified zone, because it left the zone before the ability resolved, or because it is in a zone that is hidden from a player, such as a library or an opponent’s hand. (This rule applies even if the object leaves the zone and returns again before the ability resolves.) The most common zone-change triggers are enters-the-battlefield triggers and leaves-the-battlefield triggers.

If I cast Lightning Bolt with Eye of the Storm on the battlefield, eye of the storm triggers, then an opponent casts Counterspell on the lightning bolt, what happens? Does the lightning bolt get exiled from the graveyard, or remain in the graveyard? Will I still get to cast everything exiled with eye of the storm?

Cards that come to mind are Heartwood Storyteller, Hive Mind, and Eye of the Storm. Knowledge Pool, Inniaz, the Gale Force, and Xantcha, Sleeper Agent seem to fit the strategy in different ways. There's also the old temp cards like Tempt with Discovery. There's even some combat oriented cards like Combat Calligrapher, Breena, the Demagogue, and Belbe, Corrupted Observer.

It gets worse. Since it got exiled by Eye of the Storm before the Adventure resolved, the card will also not be "on an adventure," so you won't be able to cast the creature from exile later.

You will not be able to cast either Fae of Wishes or Fae of Wishes. Adventure cards only have their normal characteristics when not on the stack. This means that Fae of Wishes will be a creature card in exile and Eye of the Storm specifically says "Then that player copies each instant or sorcery card exiled with Eye of the storm." If it said "copies each card" it would copy it and you could cast either part, but as written it will not copy it at all.

716.4. In every zone except the stack, and while on the stack not as an Adventure, an adventurer card has only its normal characteristics.
