MAY 2019: FLUSTERSTORM

Flusterstorm is coming to modern! Stormly speaking, should I be worried about it? No. Modern storm has the tools it needs to go against it. Here are some work around situations that I can think of.

A. Grapeshot – Flusterstorm – Remand Grapeshot – Grapeshot.

B. Flusterstorm vs. Flusterstorm.

C. Ramp mana – Past in Flames – Flusterstorm – flashback PIF – mana ramp again – dig Grapeshot from the library – shoot him with it. There will be times that you will end-up having two lethal Grapeshots. One, or both, off the library and the other in the graveyard.

D. Ramp mana – lethal Grapeshot – Flusterstorm – PIF – make sure you have well enough mana – recycle those rituals and cantrip – find the second copy of Grapeshot from the library – shoot him with Grapeshot from your hand – in case he has a Snapcaster Mage to Flusterstorm or another Flusterstorm at hand – shoot him with the first Grapeshot from the graveyard

E. Lethal storm count via two Grapeshots from the hand. It can also be a combination of from hand-graveyard or both from graveyard.

F. Pyromancer Ascension.

G. Gigadrowse (with replicate) his lands at the end of his turn the turn before you go off.

H. Grapeshot – Flusterstorm – Noxious Revival Grapeshot – cantrip – Grapeshot.

I. Counterflux.

J. Defense Grid.

K. Trickbind.

And if you are planning to splash a third color

L. White: Silence.

M. Black: discard spells. Inquisition of Kozilek is probably the best because most modern storm hate cards are below three casting cost.

N. Green: Autumn’s Will.  

You can use alternate win conditions.

O. flipping Thing in the Ice from its day light to night.

P. Storm Entity.

Q. Phoenices.

R. Young Pyromancer and/ or Monastery Mentor.

S. Madcap Experiment into Platinum Emperion or Platinum Angel.

T. Kiki-Jiki and Pestermite

So old friend, welcome to modern! I cannot wait to play against you again, Flusterstorm.
