I think this was pretty big for Oona. New list is posted and the new combo works really well!

Finally got to phase out Rings/Basalt, one was a bad rock and the other just bad.

I also have an Oona deck which works pretty much like this. I use Insidious Dreams to launch the storm combo.

I also see a lot of odd cards in the deck. I am probably missing something here but I think you can do away with Mind Over Matter and the pieces centered on Notion Thief to bring the ave cmc cost down so you can make better use of Ad Nauseam. Your infinite mana combos and the storm combo is already more than sufficient IMO.

You might want tot consider trying Hurkyl's Recall. I use it in my Leovold deck which runs Ad Nauseam to bounce my artifacts after using the mana rocks so I can recast and re-use them for a second time.

Hey dude, thanks for checking out the pile of cards I call a deck haha. Nice to hear from you, I've seen your Oona list.

So on MoM, the card is mostly an enabler itself and does really well to allow for unfair things. I've had some crazy lines of play happen after snagging it off of an AdNaus (stupid powerful then) or if I can storm into it with some excess cards. Really, MoM is so unfair that in our deck it ends up be a power player by nature of how we play. It definitely hurts, but I've found that I can end the AdNaus string on it with pretty good success.

Notion Thief is similar. Wheels are important for the storm shell and Notion Thief lets me use that as a specific line for storming off. Time Spiral is a crazy card with protection.

If you can, try them out some time. I've found them to be great curve toppers. Future Sight is silly powerful too, but also the one I've ran the least in the list. Not sure I want it yet. Will update, but it seems super strong.

Hurkyl's is good. I need to find space for it to test it. I'm using Dramatic Reversal instead right now as it also is a combo piece. Idk right now, I want to use it but sometimes I wonder what to take out. If Future is a no good, then that's an easy swap. I also just added Tendrils, so I'll see how that goes as an overall wincon B. I think in my list for multiplayer it's better than Stroke.

I've tried to design my list to be an aggressive storm list. In a pod setting I worry about holding others back long enough, so I tried to approach with the the mentality that I've got a loaded gun, too. That being said, my deck is a lot less toolboxy than yours.

Anyways, really appreciate the input man. Thanks for taking time to sift through the list.

Hey Megalomania, ended up cutting Lim-Dul's Vault for Hurkyl's Recall. Thanks for the advice, I sifted through the list and cut what I thought to be the most inconsistent tutor.

I think LDV is alright but it can hurt and it's not as direct as other tutors.

So actually, I put back in LDV and took out GftT. In top metas specific creature removal is less effective, so Chain of Vapor and Cyclonic Rift will probably get the job done well enough.
