Possibility Storm

Enchantment

Whenever a player casts a spell from his or her hand, that player exiles it, then exiles cards from the top of his or her library until he or she exiles a card that shares a card type with it. That player may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Then he or she puts all cards exiled with Possibility Storm on the bottom of his or her library in a random order.

Icbrgr on Boros Lockout

1 week ago

not yet im a little light on wildcards but definitely something i plan on including... once again really like this brew; i was trying to think of ways to help get Drannith MagistrateGC more consistently but came up short with practical suggestions; but i think the deck does a pretty stellar just with protecting it just by taxing the opponent; my aggro deck is really good at getting 3-4 mana in a game but between your own removal and High Noon it just does such a great job undermining the speed/efficency vs my gruul aggro... i think Possibility Storm is very cute and a neat lock to go for but I think is probably unnecessary and i think id consider Boros Charm for its modes.

Here's a list of the Boros version of the deck you helped me test out. I didn't get to show off the Drannith MagistrateGC + Possibility Storm combo, but it's game over against almost every deck once that happens.

The mono-white version of this deck is already on my profile (Mono-White Denial is the deck name, but these not-at-all-broken TappedOut links keep directing to someone else's Commander deck with the same name no matter how I attempt to format it)

Obviously the Boros version has the potential to be much more devastating with Possiblity Storm in there, but it's also less reliable since I'm hunting for 2 cards each game rather than just a Magistrate (plus no way to tutor/search for either card) so I'm still a bit on the fence which control form is best.

Optimator I'm sorry but I strongly disagree, I'd consider any game I got to play with a Grip of Chaos on the table a privilege. And Possibility Storm while having certain """unfun""" lock potential (though I'd simply say wp sir, to that), it is an extremely classic chaos card which has been exciting and fun for the whole table in games where I've seen it played fairly. You can't just ask a chaos deck not to run those cards lol

I'd highly recommend removing Grip of Chaos and Possibility Storm. Those cards are severely unfun and take away most of the agency players have, making non-games

Yesternight I went to my LGS's free-play commander event. It had been a while and I was looking forward to it. In the second round with a lovely group, I played my Bladewing the Risen deck, an old and reliable favourite.

It was a slow start for us all; I did some discarding and then cast a Wheel of Fortune. Because I was against three green opponents, I was disappointed when the only dragon I drew was a Hellkite Tyrant. There were no artifacts as far as I could tell. But then I noticed something.

The wheel had drawn a foe into an Ygra, Eater of All. Everything was food and everything was dying, so it quickly became massive. But I had a beautiful Hellkite Tyrant, which was soon wearing Greaves, which had soon granted me control of all of their food creatures.

On a previous night with the same deck, an opponent had resolved a Possibility Storm, so I began casting Rummaging Goblins with the hope of hitting Utvara Hellkites.

Magic has innumerable interactions that each recontextualize the game-state, sometimes to the degree of utterly unforeseen terrain.

Do you have any stories of your deck doing something you had never designed it to do? Maybe it operated off a card you included for another purpose entirely, or maybe your opponent cast a Dream Halls and you popped off to new heights. Tell your tales!

IMHO their are few bigger 'lil shit' type cards than Rite of the Raging Storm, if their is an opponent who can't handle 5/1 Tramplers they are dead meat very quickly, it's a very chaotic atmosphere with Rite out. It's also very good with many cards that would work well with your Commander, such as Mask of Griselbrand, and I can point out a bunch of other options. Relic of Sauron is a very good Grixis mana rock that can also draw a card now and then. I think copy effects are probably pretty good with your Commander, if you cast Rite of Replication on your Commander you still get 5 copies ETBing and dying, which should clear out hands and serve as a huge board wipe (you get 5 triggers each of the ETB and death trigger, if you have 3 opponents left 2 of them have 1/4 of their permanents and one has half left, similar for their hands. Irenicus's Vile Duplication is another fun copy effect, this one doesn't die right away and has flying. If you like annoying creatures you might like some of the specters out their, Hypnotic Specter is an old classic that will always take away a card from whomever you hit, and Stronghold Rats can take one from each player fwiw.

I can't decide if MImic Vat would be worth it with your Commander, if you can get him into the Vat you can make a copy each turn for very little mana, but it doesn't get sacrificed unfortunately, it gets exiled at end of turn, so you'd need sac outlets to get his Death Triggers (but on the upside nobody is going to block you).

Their are a few Chaos type cards that might help with your plans to annoy the table, I've always enjoyed Teferi's Puzzle Box, but any effect that cares about your opponent drawing cards really loves the effect, if you can get Box and a Notion Thief out your opponents each lose their hand and you draw cards equal to how many they had when they lost them. Grip of Chaos can help keep your Commander (or another key permanent) alive longer, and you don't run a ton of targeted interaction yourself. Omen Machine is pretty funny, it's especially useful if you use a high average MV, same with Timesifter. Some people will try to flip the table if you resolve a Possibility Storm, especially if your deck isn't trying to abuse the effect. If you leaned harder into your spell plan, or into permanents that work regardless of who controls them you could try Thieves' Auction, a card many that is so obnoxious that some people consider scooping rather than resolving the effect.

I hope some of these ideas aren't too disruptive, it's fun to have a deck that can troll your playgroup a bit!

Possibility Storm can be great, but there's something you need to keep in mind: your spells with X in their mana cost (of which this deck carries quite a few). If Storm requires you to exile one of those, they're cast without you paying anything, meaning you cast it for X=0. So it can pay off sometimes, but in other cases you lose a spell without having anything to show for it.

NV_1980 Hey thanks for the suggestions, i was feeling it the other night on the card draw aspect so ive definitely taken a few of those, and braid of fire feels like it could be a good addition, i'll play around with it and see how it goes! what are your thoughts on Possibility Storm?
