Maybeboard


A combo storm deck using the wonderful kelermorph to turn a bunch of menial ping damage into hefty Lightning Bolts.

The goal of this deck is to get yourself into a position where you can utilize your burn, boosted by the kelermorph, and your on cast effect creatures to pull a surprisingly huge amount of burn out of seemingly nowhere from casting 1 cost spells such as Preordain or Lava Dart. To best explain the deck I'll need to separate the combo pieces by categories.

Since the deck's instant and sorceries are primarily 1 cost spells any MANA GENERATOR will have a relatively easy time fueling our economy through a storm turn. When combined with any or all of our DRAW ENGINE it can be quite easy to accrue a high storm count. The deck's goal is to then utilize this in tandem with either TOKEN MAKER or PINGER in an attempt to deliver a large burst of damage to the opponent. Towards the TOKEN MAKER win con cards like Witty Roastmaster and Impact Tremors turn the tokens into extra instances of ping damage that the kelermorph can boost. Goblin Bombardment both works as a good win con for our TOKEN MAKER strategy, but also presents a threat against board wipes and target removal as we can simply sac our board in response dealing 3 damage per creature before sacrificing ghyrson starn last. Empty the Warrens can be used on a large storm count to create even more 1 power tokens to contribute to this attack. Alternatively, if the Sorcerer Class MANA GENERATOR combo is in play it can be used to further fuel the storm economy. this alternative benefits the second win con where you utilize the massive spell storm to just deal massive amounts of burn to your opponent through your PINGERS. Whereas the TOKEN MAKER win con often takes quite a bit of set up to come to fruition, The burn win con can be much faster, being accelerated by the cheap recurable burn cards present in the deck. For example: our DRAW ENGINE combined with a MANA GENERATOR and Flame Jab, which will allow you to keep recurring the 3 damage so long as you continue to draw lands into your hand. When combined with a PINGER on board this card can rather quickly drop your opponent to 0. Grapeshot is also included to also act as a finish to any storm chain, creating x instances of the now Lightning Bolt damage spell.

  • As a side note Surge to Victory is included into this deck for it's hilarity when used on Grapeshot while having a hoard of tokens. Since the copies created are cast, each copied Grapeshot will proc storm. Meaning if even only 3 tokens hit after a say 10 storm chain, your opponents will then be presented with 33 copies of Grapeshot directed at their faces. However, if you are wanting an optimized deck it is probably too expensive and situational.

  • Another note is that some may question the inclusion of Guttersnipe as he is not a 1 damage instance that benefits from ghryson starn, and thus actually tends to be one of our worst PINGERS. However, Guttersnipe is already a high value card for spell slinger decks making him a high priority target for removal for most opponents. This makes Guttersnipe an excellent play to bait out removal as either they will have to waste removal that they could have used on a more valuable piece we are wanting to play or they allow us to keep the Guttersnipe who is still a very daunting threat in this deck.

  • Additionally included in the maybe board is some potential more budget alternatives to cards present in the deck. If you are subbing in Cavalcade of Calamity it can be combined with one of our HASTE and a 1/1 *TOKEN MAKER to deliver an impressive amount of burst damage.
