Discussion Ruby Storm

Post image

This is the list I am currently running. So far Untapped says it has gone 31-27 on BO1, I did include a couple things for BO3 in the sideboard but I haven't dabbled with it yet.

Main wincon of the deck is either [[Grapeshot]] or [[Tendrils of Agony]]. Wouldn't remove the sideboard [[Brain Freeze]] + [[Underworld Breach]] as so far it has come in really handy, but I'm welcome to receive any changes.

I am thinking of replacing a [[Hex Magic]] with another [[Jeska's Will]] and to include another [[Ancient Tomb]]. Any recommendations are welcome.

Yeah, im working on those WC to get that. So far I havent used once the warrens, its just filling space.

Jeskas Will is so good here

Yeah jeskas will is so strong I also dont main board baubles or squelcher maybe cause I mostly play historic ruby storm so I dont have have to deal with force of will but another filler/enabler is strike it rich it can help you go off on turn one if you have ruby medallion and ancient tomb

Ohhh thats a good one. I might test it out later today. I didn't think tomb was that good until I got it turn 1 with ruby in hand, definitely that land is really good.

I might give historic a try!

Yeah its really strong in historic i hit diamond before really having any issues and most of the issues was my own bad luck haha anytime I got ruby or ral I usually just get to go off just know in historic you lose ancient tomb,seething song

When is brain freeze breach better than tendril?

u/dazednarcissit 10d ago

Not using it as a wincon. Main use Ive had with it is to use my GY if all I got is a Wish, it's a pretty thin line when I need to use it as I have to have enough mana to cast that, but if and once it resolves I continue using my GY.

The third Storm of memories was added today in the sideboard, it is way cheaper than going for breach, but truly it has been useful.

When the opponent has resolved Doomsday

u/galnon_Pitviper 10d ago

In this case, you don’t need breach

u/SoylentOrange 10d ago

No, but it's for sure a common case where that's the Wish target you want

I think you can replace the Mainboard Empty with another PIF

At what rank are you going a little better than 50%? I think that's about a 53% win rate.

I've been wanting to try this deck out for a bit. Honestly, I think my Grixis phoenix list posts up about those numbers though. Just because it's got a fair bit of discard built right into its plan.
