Description of deck by its author (quoted):
I found this one on Magic Online. Some guy
named .Archangel scored two top eights last week (including a first
place split) with a thoroughly odd deck containing pretty much all of
the red Storm cards except for Dragonstorm. This being Magic Online, I
don't have an exact decklist, but I have seen the following cards:
Lotus Bloom, Seething Song, Rite of Flame, Wild Cantor,
Grapeshot, Empty the Warrens, Rift Bolt, Mogg War Marshall, Greater
Gargadon, Ignite Memories, Mountain and Molten Slagheap.
[This] decklist is probably wrong somewhere. I never saw
the Ignite Memories in a game one of his, so it's possible that it's in
the sideboard. Outside of that, .Archangel likely has some random one-ofs,
some of the four-ofs could be threes instead, and there's probably some
two-two combination of storage lands rather than just four Molten
Slagheaps.
Regardless, the deck does some crazy things despite it
looking like a pile of jank on paper. The Red Storm aims to pound out an
early Storm spell faster than even Dragonstorm does, setting up a load of
1/1s on the board with Empty the Warrens or going for a quick random kill
with Ignite Memories. Besides that, .Archangel uses Greater Gargadon to do
some random things, as it has nice synergy with Mogg War Marshall and
Empty the Warrens. With such strong synergy and the deck's ability to
haphazardly explode, I really recommend you shuffling it up and trying a
game.
Kind words out of the way, my biggest concern is how
erratic the deck is at times. We'll see if this prevents the deck from
shedding that awful label of "rogue" and becoming "tech."
