Bryant Cook goes 🏆 UNDEFEATED 🏆 with Ruby Storm in a Modern League on Magic: The Gathering Online! These matches were played on: 06/12/24
Experience the power of Ruby Storm in this exciting new take on the Modern deck featuring cards from Modern Horizons 3, including Ral, Monsoon Mage and Ruby Medallion. This deck aims for explosive wins by leveraging the synergy between rituals, card draw, and the new powerful cards from MH3. The core strategy revolves around using Desperate Ritual, Pyretic Ritual, and Manamorphose to generate a massive amount of mana quickly. Ruby Medallion reduces the cost of red spells, allowing you to chain spells effortlessly, while Ral, Monsoon Mage provides additional card advantage and damage output, making it a central piece of the deck's strategy.
Underworld Breach acts as a powerful Storm engine, enabling you to replay your rituals and cantrips to fuel your storm count. Questing Druid and Dragon's Rage Channeler provide early pressure and card selection, ensuring you find your combo pieces quickly. Eventually, Ruby Storm aims to win the game with a lethal copy of Grapeshot.
Dive into the world of Ruby Storm and experience the thrill of TURN 2 WINS with this super-charged Modern Horizons 3-powered Gruul Storm deck! We hope you enjoy this video! If you do, please don't forget to subscribe, like, and comment!

A note with Ral, let's say we've cast 4 instant/sorceries already, we have 2 mana floating and 2 rituals in hand. You can cast the first ritual, then in response the to Ral trigger, cast the second one as well. This will make a second Ral trigger. Now, for both Ral triggers, we will have cast 6 instant/sorcery spells so if we win either, we can flip and get 8 loyalty. If you're in a spot where you need to flip Ral, you would have effectively increased your odds from 50%, where we needed to win the second flip, to 75% since we can now win either.

I am really liking the version of this deck that runs past in flames with unstable amulet along with a bunch of ways to exile off the top and cast spells from exile until end of next turn. That version can rather easily go off on turn 2 with a lucky draw but even if it fizzles makes for a consistent turn three because you have the cards in exile to work with. Questing druid seems like a good card to try and work into that version though.

Finding the right 75 for this list is going to take a lot of trial and error. I do like the versions that run Past in Flames over Breach, with a ruby in play the mana is less of an issue than escape cost. I also wonder if Wish is any good

@TheEPICStorm 9 күн бұрын

Wish is very reasonable, but I would rather play the more powerful spell and that's definitely

@Gnomebitten 9 күн бұрын

@@TheEPICStorm It definitely is when your DRC sticks around. I do like the high upside card when you're an all in archetype. Breach gives some appeal to Unstable Amulet, because it makes casting Bauble over and over an immediate win like it is in gruul prowess

@RickHardpack 9 күн бұрын

The 2 mana amulet is a substantially more powerful when running 8 reckless impulse effects since each spell from exile deals damage. Dont know if that makes it good enough, but i think the impulse effects alone are so powerful in this shell that they probably warrant slots

@TheEPICStorm 9 күн бұрын

I just don't agree, some incremental damage from casting spells in exile isn't valuable in my eyes. I'd rather just get the additional card from the reckless impulse effects.

once i saw a single video about ruby storm i instantly took apart my dredge storm list and built it into ruby storm 🤣. I'm gonna be running pure mono red with wish and unstable amulet but I've also noticed boros and gruul versions as well. im more leaning towards boros for the new side board options but either way.....STORMS BACK IN MODERN LETS GO!!!!! i know we had twiddle storm and lotus breach but....this just feels more fitting.

If you are expecting graveyard hate (and who isn't nowadays), you should be able to sideboard out your Underworld Breaches for Glimpse the Impossible, which is basically Ancestral Recall (with a Ruby Medallion and a Ral in play on your storm turn) in this deck.

@copred 9 күн бұрын

I like both builds, but you are overlooking something with amulet. It doesn't just ping from exile, it pings for casting a spell from anywhere but your hand. So it pings off of Breach casting and past in flames casting, so it isnt nearly as narrow as it seems.

If you're going to be playing Druid, would it not be better to play Goblin Anarchomancer over Ruby? They discount all the same cards, but Anarchomancer also discounts Druid. Obviously more susceptible to removal, but upside of discounted Druids?

Fair point, but not dying to removal is better IMO

This is what I've been playing, I like this better than this version Spike cooked up. I like Birgi better than Ral since Birgi front and back are both really good and Birgi can keep the mana flowing. KZfaq doesn't like links in comments so this is the last string for a moxfield deck after the /decks/ portion of the moxfield links; zndALZMbW0-ZipNdfvryNg . Would love to see you try it out since it looks a lot closer to legacy Ruby Storm.

I think you need to run some amount of reckless impulse/Wrenn's resolve with seek the beast, and you at least need to be running some amount of glimpse the impossible. A big problem in these games seems to be running out of steam mid storm so card draw/impulse is pretty important. Glimpse is nice because it is both impulse draw on turns you are going off and if you miss you still fill the graveyard and make blockers/mana. I am not sure if you need a full playset of breach as well but I can see the argument for refilling your hand with bauble when you are forced to topdeck late in the game which is something you can't do with past in flames.

@JP-id7zq 9 күн бұрын

It's about damn time storm returns to modern, when storm stopped being part of modern thats when the modern essence died a little bit, among other factors that changed the format to be unrecognizable. Hard to believe but it seems MH3 did something right and is getting modern back on track or maybe it's just this feeling of old modern nostalgia until the meta settles, either way i think storm is here to stay and finally i can do more than just watch legacy storm videos (sadly im priced out of that format/lack of local support) and actually play storm in modern. Amulet is trash for sure now i will have to see if breach or wish is better and later on build the deck, sad i missed the cheap rals before they spiked, was focused on other decks, either way i hope you make more modern videos and im sure they will be quite successfull for you just like when you played neoform and rotpriest. There is always love for storm and looks like wizards finally remembered storm! ⚡
