Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

I bought a first draft of this deck online (1st and only time I did that). The idea is to get the storm going and finish with brain freeze to mill your opponent.

How to Play

Get going for a few turns and then hit High Tide and play your creatures and Snap to tap and untap your lands and get the mana going. Use card draw and Mystical Tutor to get what you need go to Time Spiral and Mind's Desire to keep going for the finish with Brainfreeze.

Deck discussion for Blue Storm (Brainfreeze)

First question, is this for kitchen table? I assume so by casual, secondly if its budget and your running 25 instants why not consider mission briefing.

Interesting idea, but the bottleneck is in getting the combo off. Mission briefing doesn't really help with that.

gitaxian probe is an absolute must, as are many more 1-drop draw cards, which are the bread and butter of decks like this

Gitaxian probe is a good idea I guess, since I can just use the life if I need. Not really sure about others like serum visions and the like though... Thnx I'll try that!

Stuff like preordain and careful study fix this deck's central problem, which is the topdecked islands that KILL you.

Another consideration that would help tremendously is lotus petal, as it ups the storm count, removes islands from the build, and is a fantastic topdeck for the deck-sleigh. It goes for 10-15 bucks a pop though

Oh I do like that last idea though. Lotus Petal is really nostalgic for me. Might be able to use it in some other decks too. What would you trade your suggestions for in the deck?

Well, if we want to work the rebuild, its worth noting that the traditional version of this deck just uses instants and goes for the card reset, which you can only do during opponent's turn. Its ok to not go for that build, as it lets you use some fantastic sorceries and artifacts, but worth mentioning. Want to go for a reset build, or keep it sorcery?

I guess keep it sorcery. The some of the main feel fo this deck is in Mind's Desire and Time Spiral. Also this deck is kinda in storage right now, so no big changes planning ;)
