Possibility storm into crazy sorcery cards. I played increasing confusion in my enchantments possibility storm deck. As long as you have a limited sorc pool (ie 3-4 endgame sorc spells and 4 increasing confusions), increasing confusion @ x= 0  then flashback will always land your endgame sorc card by M1 of your next turn. I played 2 to 3 army of the damned on turn 6. Not all at once of course -- no point in overstreching :)

I also played 2 curse of exhaustions for the giggles ;D

Edit: oops. You already had some curses in the main board. Lol

When you flash back it's not cast from the hand so doesn't trigger possibility storm. Also when you cast a spell for zero like say {devil's play}, possibility storm exiles the card and sends it to the bottom, so you can't flashback it. Would make the deck more interesting if you could do the above things. When I have storm out I tend to go farseek into {supreme verdict} or {terminus}. It's a pretty solid deck vs creature based decks.  Planeswalkers are giving me the most trouble.

Planar cleansing or worldfire perhaps? They both get rid of planewalkers

You already have something in mind? I was thinking gilded lotus or something. Because you aren't running any instants, you could run opportunity or something. If only you could run Sphinx's rev

I get enough mana. Was thinking more along the lines of {staff of nin} and {ring of three wishes}

EDIT: the deck is a different animal thanks for all of the input.

Don't change the original concepts that make the deck yours :(

Phantom plate mail? Lives through terminus, supreme verdict, mutilate, blasphemous act, etc :)

This deck is just for funsies but competitive nonetheless.  I received a lot of input from the imtg community (rules, combo corner). It's a people's deck. I like the phantom mail idea, we'll see if it makes the cut on the next play test.

4 farseek : 8 boardwipe

His odds of hitting boardwipe after he plays a farseek with storm on the field (3:8, unless he cast farseek already in which case it''d be larger) is fairly good.
