by s0rinmark0v on 18 October 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)


Instants (6)

Artifacts (3)


Enchantments (2)

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

Possibility Storm is such an underrated card...
This is a deck about getting a FREE Emrakul! Play a Memnite or Ornithopter which will turn into an Emrakul with enough thought, and if you don't get Emrakul, bounce the Ornithopter or Memnite back into your hand to try again!

How to Play

Get out Possibility Storm quickly then play a Memnite or Ornithopter until you get an Emrakul. Then just wait a turn or two to annihilate them!

This is awesome! Nicely done.
You need a way to consistently bounce.
Isochron Scepter?
Also, why Ensoul Artifact? Is that to buy time to get possibility storm out?
Maybe consider Delver of Secrets or Slumbering Dragon as a time buyer.

i think ensoul is a fantastic card in here, turn that free memnite into a 5/5 threat! Its a good alternative in the event you cant get emrakul out, that plus your burn might be enough to win. Also why not run 4 copies of dissolve and only two cancels? Dissolve IS a better cancel. Also i know Vapor snag isnt good if your planning on using it on your own creatures, but i think you would probably be using it in defense more than anything, so it might be worth it.

edit: faithless looting might be good in here too, could help you get that emrakul out of your hand since you really don't want to draw it

Faithless Looting is a really good point. I would try to put that in.

OK. Thank you all for your comments, but I am in a dilema....
What do I take out for these new cards? I do like the idea for adding 2-3 Faithless Looting, especially to cycle out Emrakul. Isochron Sceptre is more of an SB card in this deck but I still see a need for it

If you all leave amounts on the cards that I should take out for some Faithless Looting then that would be greatly appreciated

I'd say swap out both Cyclonic Rifts, and an Ensoul Artifact. The idea is to bounce your own cards back to your hand; Cyclonic Rift won't allow that, and Ensoul Artifact will be sent to the graveyard if you decide to put Memnite or Ornithoper back in your hand. The overload ability of Cyclonic Rift is pretty cool, but I feel that the mana cost makes it impractical over Faithless Looting.

Oh, and to answer mymobbsdeep's question about my counterspells: Having an even amout of each prevents extraction from taking out a very valuable part of the deck. If they use Surgical Extraction right after I play a Dissolve and I have 4 in there, then there goes 3 of my 5 remaining counterspells! If I have 3 Cancels, then I still have another 3 to play and am really only loosing 2

Fantastic job, sir!!! Perhaps something like Pyretic Ritual to help you get Epiphany Storm on the field more quickly. Also, Vedalken Mastermind would allow you to return any permanent to your hand as you wish. Just a few ideas. Great deck, man.

I think you should consider Selective Memory in order to thin out the deck once you have a creature on hand and Possibility Storm in play.

You should take out voyages ends for some peak from realities.

Voyage's End allows him to fix his draw slightly. Peel From Reality can deal with an opponent's creature temporarily, but won't do anything to help him later on. Personal preference is the main factor.

Kind of besides the point, but you could run Blightsteel Colossus instead of Emrakul. Much cheaper (moneywise), plus it has infect. The biggest downside would be the not getting an extra turn. but for 35$ per pop less than Em, it would provide for a budget(er) version of this deck.

Yeah, but I did this based around the "joke" at my local card shop of: "Top-deck an Emrakul"
If you want, build it yourself and have ANY big creature in instead of Emrakul. That's why there's AEtherling and Niv-Mizzet in the SB

I encourage people to do their own versions of my decks, if they want and have their own spin on it. Until I get Emrakuls myself, I'll just use something like Dracogenius or something really big.

Honestly, instead of running Ornithopter and Memnite you could run Token generator cards. They count as creature's so you can still Storm into Emrakul. It just eliminates you hitting another ornithopter or memnite to make it consistent.

0

Very true. However, I think he can be a little better off being able to return his own creatures, or his opponent's creatures to their hands. That's not a bad idea, though. You also just made me realize that he will constantly be exiling spells, due to Possibility Storm's ability. I think Crystal Ball would work wonders for you, sir! You need some scrying that doesn't get played from the hand.

0

The tokens are creatures, but the spell is an instant or sorcery. Brainstorm recognizes it as such, and would have you cast another instant/sorcery. It has to be the memnite or thopter if he wants to get Emrakul out.

0
Posted 20 October 2014 at 01:03

Also, token spells such as Raise the Alarm aren't creature spells. Therefore, they won't allow him to pull Emrakul.

1
Posted 20 October 2014 at 01:03

Well the exiled cards get put back to the bottom of the library afterwards. Plus you would exile a token and it wouldn't matter cause it's a token. He could also run polymorph. It's faster because it doesn't require another card and you get emrakul and just win.

0
Posted 20 October 2014 at 01:05

My point is the token spells won't allow him to pull Emrakul. However, I like your Polymorph idea. Perhaps you can make a deck kinda based off of this one. I like the way you think, sir.

0

You can pull him with the tokens, they count as creatures. Emrakul is a creature. They have a modern deck for this using tokens to polymorph out emrakul

0
Posted 20 October 2014 at 01:12

Permalink

Yes, that will work with Polymorph; destroy a token with Polymorph, and perhaps you'll be able to pull an Emrakul. However, as KarasBeta said, using an instant or sorcery card to put out a token, it will get exiled due to Possibility Storm, and you'll sift through your library until you find another instant or sorcery. Since Emrakul is a creature spell, and instant or sorcery won't allow you to pull Emrakul.

0

Yet, the tokens are creatures, but the tokens aren't cast, they don't even have a casting cost. The tokens are created after the resolution of the spell. While the spell is on the stack, it is an instant or sorcery, and Possibility Storm recognizes the spell as an instant or sorcery. There are no tokens until the spell resolves. Period.

Posted 20 October 2014 at 01:19

Oh I gotcha now. Well possibly instead of possibility storm then maybe he could add polymorph? Like I said, it's faster and more consistent

But Possibility Storm is funnier and I already have them. But I would be open to SBing them. Especially since I want them for another deck

Card that comes to mind is Selective Memory, before casting Possibility Storm you could play Selective Memory removing all zero costing creatures except for one in your hand. Then follow up with Possibility Storm, casting zero drop going into Emrakul, the Aeons Torn without guessing. Then with Unsummon you can unsummon the zero caster and repeat.

0
Posted 20 October 2014 at 04:24

That is quite brilliant, sir! However, when you cast the zero cost creature, it gets exiled; it doesn't make it to the battlefield. He still would need two more of them.

I am detecting large quantities of jank in this sector sir!

Seriously this is a hilarious deck, personally id run the following utility

4 Lightning Bolt
4 Electroylze
4 Shrapnel Blast
3 Magma Jet

Also since 8 of your 11 creatures are 0 drops, there is no reason not to run Temple of Epiphany as a 4 of dual to scry away unwanted cards, same

1

Honestly I think shrapnel blast should at most be a two of, but that's just my preference, maybe electrolyze based on current curve, but your suggestions are valid in my opinion! :D

Ummmm...
The burn is a side-strat incase I can't get out Emrakul

I would run Mama Leak over Cancel (better on mana curve and cheaper to play) and Remand over Dissolve (slows up opponents game plan plus nice draw advantage). Also both could be placed on Isochron Scepter as well.

This may seem far off but, you could also run Faithless Looting into Enter the Infinite when you have Possibility Storm in play. I thought also at one point Squadron Hawk be a nice addition for more of a filter searching for Emrakul but would require white. And on the white aspect Curse of Exhaustion would lockdown your opponent from being able to Possibility Storm themselves.

oh also, Aether Tradewinds (the AE is one of those weird smashed-together ones that's hard to search for. It's a Blue CMC3 instant from Worldwake) and Evacuation. Stuff that hits both players will be really useful here because it lets you get off your abilities, but it also slows them down.
