How is it bad? It's no more fragile than any other storm deck and TBH it's more fun to play.

Thanks! I added {elixir of immortality} and {artful dodge} for a true infinite combo.

10 land in a 60 card deck...kinda scary

Only need one.

10 land is still really low. I would add a playset of  {Scalding Tarn}.

It's low for a reason. 10 guarantees 1 in my opening hand and that is literally ALL I need to go off. Scalding tarns would never be used in this deck because once I have that 1 land I won't need to play another.

I encourage you to proxy/build this for yourself and try it. It's much more stable than you think.

Really don't need the red lands since  {Paradise Mantle} taps for any color but ya nice variation.

It casts things like {Crimson Wisps}. If you can, I'd swap out all basics for shocks or painlands since you shouldn't have to worry about paying life if you have a winning hand.

{Aphotic Wisps} and {Virulent Wisps} are nice because half of the deck is getting in creature damage. I've also found that {Manamorphose} is usually hard to cast.

1. Usualy it's just to slow in getting both combo pieces.
2. If your opponent has just 1 removal, you lose.

In answer to 1. Is it any faster to get the combo pieces than Eggs? Or normal Storm? Or Splinter Twin? I've played them all and they are by far MUCH slower.

In answer to 2 you are assuming that thy didn't play anything on their turn, that they have the removal, and that I don't have {mizzium skin}/{dispel}/{izzet charm} from my sideboard in my hand. (Which I do I just didn't list the sideboard because I didn't think I had to.)

It wins on turn 2 and you can exile your hand on the mulligan making your chances much better on getting the combo.

I like this idea because it thins the deck so you can hit more cantrips and are more likely going infinite

You're right, it does thin. However I usually only play 1-2 lands the whole game and there's a very small chance that those first 2 lands would be the {Scalding Tarn}s. The thinning that it would provide would be negligible because when/if I need to pop my {Elixir of Immortality} for a reshuffle the {Scalding Tarn}s would get shuffled back in. To be honest I'd rather draw into the lands and hold them in my hand and use them for {Faithless Looting} fodder.

1. You misunderstood my point.
I wanted to say that the percentage of drawing both of your combo pieces is to slow. Not the turns in which you could win.

2. You have always to wait one turn when you cast the creature cause of summoning sickness. Then they can handle it in their own turn.

And the percentage is better than in splinter twin? A deck which has little in the way of draw? This deck is packing so much draw that I can almost always find the missing half in 2-3 turns tops.

{crimson wisps} provides haste so if I do draw it T3+ then I can pay 3 mana to play him equip him and give him haste. I have done this on multiple occasions.

Test it on mtgo and you see of what i'm talking...

I have this built in paper. It frequently wins at local tournaments 4-1. I'd never play this in MTGO, it takes too long to go through the GUI and cantrip through the deck.

4-1 in an uncompetitive environment, sure that's not dificult. Play a ptq or gp trial.

Well guys, calm down lol. If he has the deck, went 4-1 with it, then it is good. Like hell, I go 1-4 with decks that I find on the Internet. It is not how good or bad it looks, but how you play it.
