Deck Description

Saw something interesting that I thought could work with Dragonstorm:
Street Wraith and Mishra's Bauble make the deck effectively that many cards smaller because they replace themselves for effectively nothing.

So, here's another attempt at mono red Dragonstorm.

I have no idea how good this'll be and currently cannot test it as I don't have enough copies of Street Wraith and Mishra's Bauble to test this.

Note: Kokusho is my personal preference on which dragons to storm into because life loss cannot be prevented. Also, Gaining life doesn't hurt.

How to Play

Step 1: Get Dragonstorm and a bunch of Rituals in hand (Lotus Bloom suspended).
Step 2: Play rituals as soon as you can safely produce 9+ mana [with Lotus suspended on turn 1, this is turn 4, with 3 lands and minimum 3 rituals].
Step 3: Because each storm trigger is a different spell, fetch the dragons in the following order:
Kokusho: Just a 5/5 flyer.
Kokusho: Legend rule kills one, triggering the 5 life drain death trigger.
Kokusho: Legend rule kills one, triggering the 5 life drain death trigger.
Kokusho: Legend rule kills one, triggering the 5 life drain death trigger.
Predator Dragon: Devour the last Kokusho, triggering the 5 life drain death trigger, and leaving you with a 6/6 flying dragon with haste (If the opponent isn't dead yet).

Street Wraith and Mishra's Bauble, along with the fetch lands make this effectively a 44 card deck, which should help greatly in accumulating enough rituals to storm off.

This deck has NO interaction. You're in this to storm into dragons all the time, every time.

Best card in the opening hand is Lotus Bloom, because it's your best "ritual" for turn 4 as it's "free".

Renegade Tactics may seem like an odd inclusion, but it is a 1 mana cantrip that can allow a dragon to attack unhindered.

Faithless Looting probably the best red draw spell in the format, and possibly the game. Dropping extra Dragonstorms to it or late / unnecessary Lotus Blooms make this even better, and further reduces the effective deck size.

Deck discussion for Storm of Dragons

The change to the Legend Rule and the resulting death of "KokoPuffs" makes me sad...

Ya, made me sad too, but is also why I included Predator Dragons. And getting 1 more storm trigger isn't that difficult.
