Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Much Abrew About Nothing. Last week, we had a rare surprise during our Instant Deck Techs with our Legacy option coming out on top. Apparently, that's what happens when a deck that's not only super spicy looking but also incredibly cheap for the format (under $300 in paper and under 150 tix online) manages to 5-0 a league. We're talking, of course, about Mono-Red Storm! The deck is is basically looking to stack up cost-reduction effects like Ruby Medallion and Helm of Awakening to turn our Desperate Rituals into Dark Rituals and our Reforge the Souls into Wheel of Fortune (which is banned in Legacy). We then win the game by casting a ton of spells in the same turn with the help of Hazoret's Undying Fury before killing our opponent with Grapeshot or Empty the Warrens. Is it really possible that a Mono-Red Storm deck can work in a format as powerful as Legacy? Let's get to the videos and find out; then, I'll have some thoughts on the deck.
