The Power of Storm

My Favorite!
Tendrils of Agony

Here’s a wacky “unpowered” Vintage build using Cloudstone Curio, Kobolds and Tendrils of Agony for the win.

This is yet another take on Tendrils of Agony, to achieve near-unlimited draw/play storm combinations. It focuses on using inexpensive cards to achieve a strong effect, and its bonuses to the opponent are minimal.

Veteran Explorer was added to get lands out quickly, and assuming your opponent will be playing dual lands and such they will gain little land themselves.

The combo of Cloudstone Curio and 2 kobolds makes for an unlimited amount of spells played in a single turn, maximizing Tendrils of Agony's storm effect.

If you're lucky enough to get Fastbond, Zuran Orb, and Crucible of Worlds out togther, you should be setup for any amount of life or mana you'll ever want.

For some extra card-drawing capability, a single Skullclamp has been added. Equip Veteran Explorer to gain 2 basic lands AND draw 2 cards, or use it on a kobold when in a pinch.

Thanks for reading / listening to my second show. - Jesse
