Hello again everyone!

I am updating my Veyran decklist after having played with it some in group play and this is my current decklist. My group is fairly casual so keep that in mind as I go into my strategies and combos. I also plan on getting some upgrades for some cards as time goes by, but that costs $ and I have other deck projects I want to do. There is a Mana Crypt in here, but I got lucky and pulled one from a pack. With that being said lets get into how I play this deck.

A lot of people will see I run only 31 lands. That is just my playstyle. Having a few good mana rocks and tutors help to mitigate the low amount of lands. I use cards like Fabricate and Environmental Sciences to help out any potential mana issues. Birgi, God of Storytelling   and Storm-Kiln Artist also supplement mana very easily, especially when Veyran, Voice of Duality is in play. Playing a 1 cost spell such as Gamble or Opt with generate 2 red mana or 2 treasures. I haven't had issues with mana since my first play with this deck in a 1v1 matchup.

So what is my goal with this deck? Well it took me some time to figure it out myself, but after playing it a good amount, I have some pretty straightforward win conditions. There are damage pings in this deck from Guttersnipe and Ral, Storm Conduit, but I've found draining someone to 0 purely from damage pings is very difficult. Getting them low is much easier. Aetherflux Reservoir generates so much value and people will underestimate the power of this card. If Veyran, Voice of Duality is in play, she will trigger this twice. In essence, if you cast an instant or sorcery, you will generate 1 life twice, then 2 life twice and so on. You will very quickly add up in life and be able to one shot your opponents and still be safe. Clever Impersonator can copy Aetherflux Reservoir and all of a sudden, you are getting 4 triggers from it per instant or sorcery spell cast. This gets out of hand by the 3rd or 4th cast in a turn.

My other win condition is centered around Radiate. This spell can generate so much value with how Magecraft works. My goal is to have Veyran, Voice of Duality on the board along with either Storm-Kiln Artist or Archmage Emeritus and casting Slip Through Space or Expedite. If Archmage Emeritus is on the board, be careful to not draw yourself out. Now to explain this combo. Since Slip Through Space targets only one creature, I cast this on Veyran, Voice of Duality and while its in the stack, I cast Radiate. This will create as many copies of Slip Through Space as there are targets. My hope is to get at least 10 copies. This will draw me 10 cards, give Veyran, Voice of Duality +20/+20 and grant her unblockable. If Storm-Kiln Artist is out, then you create 20 treasures as well. By this point, having cards and as much mana as needed, storming off is basically a given. This combo is designed to be a OTK for the game, and in games where we typically play 4-5 players I am usually successful.

Of cards that I am looking at to make this deck more competitive, cards like Rhystic Study instead of Teferi's Ageless Insight or Mana Drain instead of Cancel will definitely make this deck more of a powerhouse. I also plan on replacing Uncaged Fury with Crash Through as it will have the nearly the same effect as Slip Through Space.

I try to keep my turns as short as possible but everyone knows how storm decks go. I don't play this deck every game, but right now this deck is my pride and joy. This deck is very fun and rewarding when played correctly. My fastest storm was turn 6, and for a casual group, I personally find that very fast. It can get faster I'm sure but I am happy with it right now. A lot of the spells I didn't cover are for situational use to ensure the storm can go off.

Thank you for reading if you have made it this far. I know this style will not be for everyone but if it is what you like, please consider Veyran, Voice of Duality. Thank you again and if you have any tips or suggestions, please leave them below.
