Overview:

This deck leverages Storm, Force of Nature to generate storm copies of powerful instant/sorcery spells through combat damage, using extra combat phases and spell synergies to overwhelm opponents. Key strategies include deploying Storm early, protecting it with hexproof/indestructible effects, and chaining extra combats to trigger storm multiple times per turn. Win conditions involve infinite mana/turn loops via Nexus of Fate, massive stormed spells like Jeska's Will, or overwhelming value from copied spells like Manamorphose.

Primer:

Core Strategy:

1. Ramp & Deploy Storm: Use fast mana (Birds of Paradise, Sol Ring) and land tutors to cast Storm by turn 3–4. Protect it with Swiftfoot Boots or Tamiyo's Safekeeping.
2. Combat Storm Triggers: Attack with Storm to enable storm on next spell. Use extra combat spells (Relentless Assault, Seize the Day) to trigger multiple storm activations per turn.
3. Storm Payoffs: Cast game-ending spells post-combat:
   • Nexus of Fate for infinite turns
   • Jeska's Will for explosive mana/card advantage
   • Manamorphose for mana/draw to fuel further combats
4. Redundancy & Protection: Tutors (Mystical Tutor, Gamble) ensure access to extra combats or protection. Sakashima of a Thousand Faces clones Storm for multiple triggers.

Mulligan Priorities:

• 3 lands with green/blue/red access
• 1–2 ramp pieces (e.g., Nature's Lore, Arcane Signet)
• At least 1 protection spell or extra combat enabler
• Avoid hands without early ramp or Storm enablers

Key Tips:

• Sequence extra combats after first strike damage to stack multiple storm triggers.
• Use Vesuvan Duplimancy to copy Storm or value creatures like Storm-Kiln Artist.
• Protect critical turns with free counterspells (Fierce Guardianship, Swan Song).

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Commander Dependency: 3+ removals on Storm cripples the deck's storm engine.
• Combat Disruption: Propaganda effects or flying blockers nullify Storm's damage triggers.

Moderate

• Graveyard Reliance: Flashback on Seize the Day and recursion via Regrowth are vulnerable to exile effects.
• Stax Vulnerabilities: Rule of Law or Archon of Emeria shut down storm chains.

Minor

• Mana Base Fragility: Heavy nonbasic lands (10+ duals) are weak to Blood Moon/Back to Basics.

Most Important Cards:

• Sakashima of a Thousand Faces
• Relentless Assault
• Nexus of Fate
• Mystical Tutor
• Archmage Emeritus
• Jeska's Will
• Seize the Day
• Sylvan Library
• Fierce Guardianship
• Heroic Intervention

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 7/10
Can threaten T5-6 wins with early Storm + extra combats into stormed Nexus of Fate.

Resilience: 6/10
Multiple protection spells and counters but folds to repeated commander removal.

Consistency: 7/10
10+ tutors/draw engines (Rhystic Study, Gamble) ensure key pieces are accessible.

Interaction: 7/10
Mix of free counterspells, targeted removal (Pongify), and board wipes (Cyclonic Rift).

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a high-power casual level with focused storm combos and strong redundancy but lacks the speed/consistency of top-tier cEDH lists. Its T5-7 win potential and commander-centric strategy align with the 6.0-7.0 range.

Power level: 6.0 - 7.0
