The Commander

Flying

Ward—Pay 5 life.

Instant and sorcery spells you cast have storm. (Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, copy it for each spell cast before it this turn. You may choose new targets for the copies.)

Guide

Gameplan

Cast cheap cantrips and rituals to build up a high spell count, then unleash a payoff instant/sorcery that storms off into multiple lethal copies. You ramp into your 7-mana dragon, protect a long turn with rituals and cost reducers, and chain spells so each subsequent cast copies for every spell before it that turn.

Strengths

  • Innate storm on every instant and sorcery is an enormous payoff with no extra deckbuilding cost
  • Flying evasive body can also just close games as a beater while you protect with Ward—Pay 5 life
  • Burn and draw spells become exponentially better as the turn goes on
  • Rewards a lean, low-curve spellslinger build that's resilient to creature removal

Weaknesses

  • Seven mana and color-identity bound to UR means it dies to counters/removal and is slow to deploy
  • No card advantage engine in the command zone—you must supply your own gas
  • Storm rewards a single big turn, making you vulnerable to stax, taxes, and graveyard hate
  • Vulnerable to losing the dragon repeatedly since storm only works while it's on the battlefield

Key Cards

  • Grapeshot — The classic storm finisher—each copy pings, scaling into lethal after a handful of prior spells.
  • Ral, Storm Conduit — Adds incidental damage every time a spell is copied, turning any storm turn into a kill.
  • Underworld Breach — Recasts cheap spells from the graveyard to inflate spell count and combo into a lethal payoff.
  • Jeska's Will — Refuels both mana and cards to extend storm turns and chain into the finisher.
  • Mizzix's Mastery — Storm-copies a flashed-back bomb sorcery for absurd, often game-ending value.
  • Birgi, God of Storytelling — Generates mana per spell cast, fueling longer chains that storm bigger.

Upgrade Path

Lower your curve and add fast mana (Sol Ring, Mana Vault, ritual effects like Pyretic Ritual and Desperate Ritual) plus cost reducers (Goblin Electromancer, Baral) to push toward consistent turn-three-to-five storm kills. Add tutors (Mystical Tutor, Gamble) and redundant payoffs (Tendrils-style effects, Aetherflux Reservoir) so you can find and combo through interaction. Finally, lean on Underworld Breach loops and counterspell protection to make the storm turn nearly uninterruptible at higher power levels.

Win Conditions

  • ▸Ral, Storm Conduit incidental damage triggers killing the table during a storm chain
  • ▸Aetherflux Reservoir life-loss after a high storm count
  • ▸Repeated dragon swings backed by counterspells and copied burn

Archetypes

  • Storm — The command-zone text literally grants storm to all your instants and sorceries.
  • Spellslinger — A low-curve deck of cantrips, rituals, and burn maximizes copies per payoff cast.
  • Combo — Ritual + cost-reducer + cantrip loops with Underworld Breach or Aetherflux enable explosive single-turn wins.
  • Control — Counterspells and removal protect the dragon and the storm turn while it stalls the board.
