This deck focuses on the front side of Extus rather than the back. If we cast the back even once the commander becomes too expensive, so I only focused on the front for this reason.

Anarchist and Living Lightning are key cards to have if you want to have a recursion cycle with Victimize , or Blood for Bones , Dread Return , etc.

Monastery Mentor , Sedgemoor Witch , Young Pyromancer are good for when you have sacrifice strategies like Plumb the Forbidden or have Woe Strider or Viscera Seer out.

Cards like Darkblast and the adventure cards are great for when you need more fuel for Extus triggers, and the evoke cards serve as sinks for when you don't have enough creatures to choose from in your grave.

Some ritual effects are inside in case you have a large play you want to make, or to increase storm count for Grapeshot , Haze of Rage .

Board wipes like Magus of the Disk , Nevinyrral's Disk , and Akroma's Vengeance are in for some insurance if the other decks are too fast.

Bladebrand is a surprisingly effective cantrip to protect extus in combat and get you a magecraft trigger, plus another one if you use Virulent Swipe instead.

I'm open for any suggestions people have to make this deck into an aristocrat-storm sort of playstyle.
