U/R Gifts Storm [Modern]

Sideboard


An almost stock U/R Gifts storm that replaces a couple cantrips for bolts main. The bolts really help deal with pesky maindeck interaction like Kitesail Freebooter; Thalia, Guardian of Thraben; Eidolon of the Revel; or can go directly to the dome to ultimately decrease the storm count necessary to win. I haven't lost any of my five matches to 5c humans at my LGS (most are wins in 2), and it has allowed me to reduce my need on getting a reduction bear out in the face of removal-heavy decks (looking at Jeskai and Jund). I frequently use the Search for Azcanta slots as flex slots depending on which store I go to as one store has more Hollow One + Affinity (extra abrade + Shattering Spree), another is midrange galore (leave Azcanta in the board), and the last has a lot of Mill for some reason (turns on Pyromancer's Acesion stupid quickly). It may not be optimal for an open meta, but I play the deck in paper and have gotten to know what players at the LGS are typically packing.
