Snapcaster Mage

Creature — Human Wizard

Flash

When this enters, target instant or sorcery card in your graveyard gains flashback until end of turn. The flashback cost is equal to its mana cost. (You may cast that card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)

Polaris on Dracogenesis and Foretell?

The mana cost of a spell is specifically paying the cost listed in the top right of the card. Even if, like with Snapcaster Mage, an alternate cost is "equal to its mana cost," it's still an alternate cost. If you're paying an alternate cost, you aren't paying the mana cost, which is why Dracogenesis's "without paying its mana cost" doesn't apply.

You're correct about Dracogenesis being an alternate cost. Good catch.

A related note here is that additional costs like kicker are entirely separate from the mana cost and from alternate costs. For example, Dracogenesis would let you cast Verix Bladewing for free, or you could cast it and pay the additional to cast it kicked, in which case since you didn't pay the mana cost but you did pay the kicker cost, the total cost would be .

Cloudy2024 I actually ended up moving Tishana's Tidebinder to the main and sideboard like you mentioned earlier because of a massive shift away from energy aggro and murktide to combo/midrange in the meta's I am playing in. Snapcaster Mage is only really worth it as a 1 of as I dont end up with a lot of instants in my gy, it feels really good as a 1 of to lock up the game if i get a Waterlogged Teachings  Flip off with Slitherwisp on board and sometimes flips games but drawing multiple wont give me a lot of selection. I used to run Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd but took it out because of how dead it was to energy and other heavy board matchups like hollow one and merfolk; I will consider trying it again as a 1 or 2 of since there are some games that i can curve Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd into Teferi, Time Raveler or paired with Samwise the Stouthearted it can have massive value spikes and maybe it could just end up being the thing to solve my domain matchup at the moment. I'm probably going to also cut my Damping Spheres as I am finding the matchups they are good in are already not that bad compared to Eldrazi or Domain, and will probably add another Consign to Memory and something to help vs Leyline of the Guildpact Scion of Draco

Thanks for the advice, psionictemplar! I'm a bit hesitant to add too many non-basic lands because of Back to Basics, but i might switch Academy Ruins for Mystic Sanctuary.

I'm fairly married to keeping High Tide because it not only helps get Eon Hub out, it also combos with Rewind and helps Overload Cyclonic Rift. With Rift, we can eliminate opponent's creatures, which enables us to actually hit opponents with one or two Phyrexian Soulgorgers.

I did consider Snapcaster Mage - any thoughts on that?

pyrophyte after staying up half the night to think about it and play out deck scenarios, I think you're right. I don't think it's actually worth. It absolutely can create some excellent value, but, shutting off my ability to wheel for 60 damage in a turn is pretty bad. I'm going to shift Chains of Mephistopheles over to my Konrad deck and use this slot for either Snapcaster Mage or Withering Torment. Leaning on Torment, as of this moment.

Thanks for the feedback! I always appreciate when someone can challenge something I take for granted and make me think. Especially when they use my own reasoning against me! Haha!

Teferi's Ageless Insight can actually draw net cards (well, one net card) off your Frantic Search. (You will need a lot more card draw to get the key cards to a storm deck.)

Might I recommend Snapcaster Mage? Think of him as a second copy of whatever your favorite instant is.

Also, being an eternal format does mean that storm has to worry about cards like Alms Collector and Rule of Law that can ruin our day, so pack some answers.
