Darth Vadrik - The new Emperor

Heil Darth Vadrik!

Getting strong!

Keep your opponents low!

Use the Force to develop your plan!

And at the end, destroy them all with one lethal strike!

The Deck's Mechanics

Buyback

With Darth Vadrik buffed, Clockspinning, Reiterate, Whispers of the Muse, Spell Burst, Searing Touch, Seething Anger and Haze of Rage are just great, letting you use the Force again and again.

Counterspells

Darth Vadrik needs to protect himself against the Rebel Alliance. So, use the Force, Sith Lord, and repel all assaults.

In fact, in most cases we don't care about our opponents boards, so we focus on Counterspells against removals/boardwhipes or counters itselfs.

Free card draw

Darth Vadrik, use the Force to dig through your mind for the right solution for everything.

Pirate's Pillage, Frantic Search, Jeska's Will, Pirate's Prize, Tezzeret's Gambit, Unexpected Windfall and Seize the Spoils are all free card draw options with Dark Vadrik buffed.

Combo

Once, Darth Vadrik has Power 4 or greater, use Firemind's Foresight to get Storm King's Thunder, Comet Storm and Lunar Frenzy. Then, you need just 6 red Mana left to spit out insane damage. With Lunar Frenzy, you make Vadrik a 8/6, then cast Storm King's Thunder to get 8 coppies(+1 original) of Comet Storm, use Multikicker 2 times and deal 54 damage to your 3 opponents. If you have Jaya's Immolating Inferno in your hand, this will work with Vadrik on Power 3, so you get 6(+1) coppies of the Inferno for 7x6=42 Damage to each of 3 opponents.

Storm-Kiln Artist:

• Clockspinning gives you infinite +1/+1-counter on Vadrik. So you can just kill everybody with Jaya's Immolating Inferno or Comet Storm.

• Spell Burst with Vadrik buffed, this is an hard lock for your opponents.

• Whispers of the Muse gives you infinite Card Draw.

Storm-Kiln Artist//Runaway Steam-Kin:

• Haze of Rage/Seething Anger gives you infinite Mana and infinite power on Vadrik for your finisher.

• Searing Touch infinite Damage

With Reiterate there are a lot of combos, as:

• Explosive Welcome -> infinite Damage

• Mana Geyser/Seething Song -> infinite Mana

• Electrodominance -> infinite Damage

• Jeska's Will/Frantic Search -> draw your library and get around 30-40 Mana

• Snap -> return all creatures to owner's hands

I would love to get some comments/tips to make the deck faster/less susceptible.
