Elsha, I am the Storm

Because Merrriiicccaaa

Introduction

This is my more budgeted brew for Elsha of the Infinite. If you would like to look at the cEDH version, here it is. This decks main goal is to generate infinite mana, then cast the deck. If you love storm, you are going to love this deck! There are quite a few combos included, I hope you enjoy this deck as much as I have building it!

Combos

Storm Show

Have Elsha of the Infinite on the battlefield with Sensei's Divining Top . You draw your deck till you get Aetherflux Reservoir . Storm off by repeatedly casting top for free via Helm of Awakening . Laser the table down with Fishbowl.

1 card 1 win Show

You have Elsha out and cast Proteus Staff . Activate staff and target Elsha. You basically get to sculp your library, playing out your fast mana rocks first and eventually get to where you can storm off.

Wincon

We win via storming off Aetherflux Reservoir , the Proteus Staff combo, or drawing our deck to win with Jace, Wielder of Mysteries .

Upgrading

This deck is great how it is. But like all great things, it can be made even greater. The first thing I would do is streamline the mana base to be faster. Slot in an Ancient Tomb , some fetch lands, and wala she is better.

After that I would look at the acceleration in terms of mana rocks. We are talking to you Mox Opal , Mox Diamond , Mana Crypt , Mana Vault , and you too Grim Monolith . In our need for speed there must be very little friction.

Tutors, tutors, and tutors. That will smooth out the game play. It's time to get you Enlightened Tutor and Intuition .

Overall if you are having fun with the deck as it is. No need to do anything. The most important thing is you crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.
