Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

R/U helix deck. My first attempt at a helix deck. Idea for this deck was to either kill or deck your opponent using storm cards such as grape shot (direct damage) and brain freeze (mill)

couple of combos:

Spellweaver Helix + call to mind+ rite of flame = infinite mana loop (red mana) & builds towards storm count

2x Sensei's Divining top + Etherium Sculptor = makes Sensei's Divining Top free to cast, creating an infinite drawing loop, builds towards storm count.

play tested this deck works pretty well. has consistently ended games in around 5 turns even in multi player games.

any ideas on how to make the deck better?

Combo is built around using the storm abilities of grapshot and brain freeze. Not sure what kind of win condition you would put in there, but if you find one that uses this combo too why dont you let me know.

Banefire? It'd go pretty swell with your infinite mana combo, wouldn't necessarily have to rely on Storm, and it can't be countered. I have no idea if it's like... "legal" or whatever. I don't keep up with that stuff as a casual player, but I'm pretty sure if that isn't the card, then there's something LIKE it that you could also use.

Plus, if someone was wise to your plan and countered Grapeshot, you'd take a bit of mana burn if you were generating mana with the loop solely to pump up your storm count. Banefire can't be countered, but if you had to use something like Blaze or those other counterable cards that do the same thing, then at least you'd be spared the aftermath.
