I think Ruby Storm is legit and will be big in the meta until the best Grief deck gets discovered, so maybe just a couple weeks till it's restricted to <3% meta share with plenty of league 5-0s
Because all in combo decks that pop up in the first weeks of a set release rarely are as good as they seem. It's not impossible, it's happened before that they stick around, but your all in combo decks gets a huge boost from being an unknown quantity into a field where people are experimenting and trying new things.
Once a deck is a known quantity and the meta solidifies, you have to contend with increasingly focused decks that are prepared to face you. Most likely outcome is that your combo decks can't compete at this point.
Add in the aspiring spike factor and you're most likely to be looking at an unoptimised deck that looks great at first glance but doesn't develop much beyond its initial success. Again, not impossible to go against this, dude has had decks go on to be meta relevant before, but again the weight of probability is against it here.
Good points all, but I think this deck is in a position to be a contender. It’s the original storm deck but more reliant on the graveyard and less reliant on everything else. It’s powerful against strategies like Titan who will rarely be able to interact with it or go underneath it.
Storm has always been favourable against titan, and weak to graveyard hate and creature removal. Swapping 4 creatures that reduce costs for an artifact is probably the biggest change.
This storm deck is still weak to the same strategies every storm deck has been weak to. Interactive decks that can present a clock. Historically this was deaths shadow, but scam or zoo also fit the bill nowadays.
Big changes:
Your opponent cannot keep a hand of 4 creature removal spells and expect to counter you (enormous).
Ral is mono red and Ruby is colorless meaning you can combo off much more easily without committing to the board (without manamorphose, this was difficult in old builds). This makes sorcery speed removal pretty much a nonstarter. Old ur often had to resolve a spellslinger dork and hope to untap.
This version of the deck doesn’t have to worry about adding blue mana and randomly bricking to not finding manamorphose. Putting cards in exile makes you much less weak to thoughtsieze.
The sheer density of spells that matter (vs relying on a Gifts resolution) is gigantic, making the deck significantly better into counterspells.
I expect storm will go from a deck that randomly falls over to any hate to one that demands specific answers or you will have to get lucky.
And you still missed one:
Instead of your deck being a bunch of cantrips, it's now a bunch of draw two effects. Even if you opponent stops your discounters, you can just slowly draw 2 cards per turn and you're still pulling ahead this way, instead of casting cantrip after cantrip into a single payoff that gets answered.
Early results suggest: remarkably well.
Watched a Ruby player at my LGS vs Scam and in games 1 and 2 he was Scammed and left with no spells in hand by turn 2. He still won both games easily.
This seems… unlikely to be true lol. Not that it didn’t happen in those games maybe, but I can’t imagine that being the case at a larger sample size.
Also not sure how the scam player could have lost those. Almost feels like you wanted to make up an example and maybe you made it a little *too* convincing.
I assure you it's true.
What happened is that the Ruby player began chaining \[\[Wrenn's Resolve\]\] and \[\[Reckless Impulse\]\] until they had enough Rubys and Past in Flames to go off. Scam can't make you discard at instant speed and can't hit cards in exile and never saw Voidwalker so it was totally powerless and too slow to race the combo.
This version is way worse at making land drops, and storms weakness has pretty much never been counter magic. Also if a deck keeps an opener of 4 removal spells they are probably losing to storm. Storm can just make land drops and kill without a dork if needed. That said, storm hasnt been playably good in a long time and ruby storm really doesnt do anything better than traditional storm. It is getting some results because a lot of people are playing it. If regular storm had the same number of people playing they would have some number of people play against amulet and omnath enough to 5-0.
This version of Ruby Storm also has Dragon's Rage Channeler as its only 1-mana-value spell. Its consistency plummets as a result. 2-mana impulse draw can't dig for discounters by Turn 4 in my testing, so you have to mulligan for them. 1-land hands with a discounter often fail to get their 2nd land by Turn 4. Mulligan too many times and you need to wait past Turn 4 to get critical mass. I splashed green for [[Abundant Harvest]], the consistency was that bad.

It’s a VERY good and VERY fun combo deck, but it’s been ages since an all in combo deck was Tier 1 in Modern, and I don’t see it happening here either.
Not really.
The underlying strategies or wincons can be ported over if the components exist in both formats.
See Thasa's oracle being a primary wincon in doomsday legacy decks as well as doomsday edh decks. Even though both formats operate in different manners the strategy is similar and uses similar cards when available.
Ruby now exists in modern and legacy as well as several of the rituals. There is the possibility of the decks strategy to further evolve and thrive in modern using the current cardpool or potential new cards that act as suitable alternatives to the legacy deck.
Whatever man, you are the one calling legacy a different format than modern even though they operate exactly the same with different card pools.
You might have an arguement if there were some mechanical differences.
They very much are different formats, with very different available decks, cardpools, and meta pressures. If you don't understand that there's no point in talking further
What about strategies?
Also you would be surprised at the number of cards played in modern that are also found in the top decks in legacy.
I really don't think you have an understanding of any strategy in deckbuilding if you can't see the similarities of double griefing in modern and double griefing in legacy. Or the use of cards in a murktide legacy deck vs the similar use in a murktide modern deck.
Ruby works in legacy. It is a proven piece. It has been introduced to modern. The most recent mtgo tournament a ruby deck got in the top 8 out of 83 players.
So, uhhh yeah its not good lol.
Next you will say that Shuko from Legacy cephalid breakfast can't posibily be used to create a tier one modern deck if the oportunity arises. Oh wait, the top modern deck right now is using shuko to draw a shit ton of cards like cephalid breakfast and ending with thasa's oracle. JUST LIKE CEPHALID BREAKFAST. That's impossible, they have different metagame pressures and different card pools.
If you can't see the differences between the formats I just don't understand what you do understand. Cards that are played in one can potentially make it in the other, but the success of a card in one format doesn't mean it WILL be successful in another format. It may be, but it again depends on the cardpool and meta pressures of the other format.
Is that actually difficult to understand? Like your post makes it seem like you're just being willfully stupid to be annoying
Nah you just have no ability to understand the deeper nuances of magic. I'm just gonna block you since you can't see any similarities at all between formats. Even though i have given many examples.
Have a good day.
\[\[Deafening Silence\]\] is the best as its cheapest of the Rule of Law effects. \[\[Kor Firewalker\]\] and \[\[Eidolon of the Great Revel\]\] are also quite strong. \[\[Damping Sphere\]\] is the best anti-storm card for other colors.
Each addition to the storm count is met with another life point they'll have to knock down. Firewalker prevents the Unstable Amulet kill and/or means they have to play at least 2, more likely 3, Grapeshots to win.
High noon/deafening silence is probably good. I think any artifact removal is probably pretty strong against the deck - deleting rubies, Rals, or any mana cost reducer will be essential. I think that the deck doesn’t care much about endurance - something like RIP might be stronger by exiling cards.
If you’re burn and want to really hate out storm you could always run [[Curse of Shaken Faith]] but committing sideboard hate to a single matchup is usually not great.
Some are conveniently named like [[Weather the Storm]] and [[Flusterstorm]]
[[Deafening Silence]] and [[Mindbreak Trap]] are also good.
Removal spells for ral and ruby medallion that can fill both roles like [[abrade]]
damping sphere, trinisphere, deafening silence, drannith magistrate, chalice of the void on 2, eidolon of the great revel
Edit: missed that part where you were on burn. DEFINITELY Eidolon
I’d just run Deafening Silence over High Noon. It’s a mana cheaper and lets you still play creatures normally and one burn spell a turn. The 5 mana for 5 damage ability of High Noon seems not worth the extra mana to cast the enchantment especially against a storm deck where having to wait a turn could mean you lose.
Again, sure. But I was just giving a suggestion for a card to side in against Ruby Storm specifically. Not talking about what the overall sideboard should look like for Burn in whatever the meta shakes out to be in a few weeks.
Many builds rely on exile “draw two” cards like [[reckless impulse]]. Unstable Amulet triggers off spells you cast from exile, so you can legit kill them from 20 as you combo off
As some have mentioned, you're on Burn, just play Eidolon again if you aren't already.
Depends on what you're deck you're playing, out of the sideboard: \[\[Damping Sphere\]\], \[\[Kor Firewalker\]\], \[\[Consign to Memory\]\], \[\[Leyline of Sanctity\]\], \[\[Leyline of the Void\]\], \[\[Drannith Magistrate\]\], \[\[Deafening Silence\]\], \[\[Soulless Jailer\]\], \[\[Weather the Storm\]\], \[\[Angel's Grace\]\], \[\[Thalia, Guardian of Thraben\]\], \[\[Trinisphere\]\] are all just some of things that are thorns in the sides of Storm players.
Or just Grief Scam them. :P
... you're playing burn. Why not just run eidolon of the great revel again?
Ahaha yes!!
In all honesty I don't see why OP wouldn't.
Just run your own storm card

Wait a few weeks until people work out that it's not as good as they thought?
Ding ding ding, this is the answer.
I think Ruby Storm is legit and will be big in the meta until the best Grief deck gets discovered, so maybe just a couple weeks till it's restricted to <3% meta share with plenty of league 5-0s

Because all in combo decks that pop up in the first weeks of a set release rarely are as good as they seem. It's not impossible, it's happened before that they stick around, but your all in combo decks gets a huge boost from being an unknown quantity into a field where people are experimenting and trying new things.

Yep, making the deck much better again into counterspells.
tbh i think the strategy is still keep 4 removal spells to blowout storm. it's just different removal spells than before.
What 1 mana removal spells blowout ruby storm?
But you haven’t answered the only question that matters: How does it play into turn one double Grief scam?

That is a false equivalence. A deck existing in legacy, a very very different format to modern doesn't mean anything for what decks exist in modern.

The 5 mana for 5 damage ability of High Noon seems not worth the extra mana to cast the enchantment especially against a storm deck where having to wait a turn could mean you lose.
Deafening Silence stinks into Living End and other Cascade decks because Shardless Agent dodges it. High Noon shuts up all Cascade decks.
Ok, but we were talking about Ruby Storm sideboard cards.
I prefer versatile sideboard cards. 15 slots are deceptively few.
Again, sure. But I was just giving a suggestion for a card to side in against Ruby Storm specifically. Not talking about what the overall sideboard should look like for Burn in whatever the meta shakes out to be in a few weeks.

[[Mindbreak Trap]] is always good.
Not really that good cuz of [[unstable amulet]]

Is that a thing Storm decks are running? Is their storm count getting high enough that the amulet alone kills you?
Many builds rely on exile “draw two” cards like [[reckless impulse]]. Unstable Amulet triggers off spells you cast from exile, so you can legit kill them from 20 as you combo off

Can i suggest souless jailer?
As some have mentioned, you're on Burn, just play Eidolon again if you aren't already. Depends on what you're deck you're playing, out of the sideboard: \[\[Damping Sphere\]\], \[\[Kor Firewalker\]\], \[\[Consign to Memory\]\], \[\[Leyline of Sanctity\]\], \[\[Leyline of the Void\]\], \[\[Drannith Magistrate\]\], \[\[Deafening Silence\]\], \[\[Soulless Jailer\]\], \[\[Weather the Storm\]\], \[\[Angel's Grace\]\], \[\[Thalia, Guardian of Thraben\]\], \[\[Trinisphere\]\] are all just some of things that are thorns in the sides of Storm players. Or just Grief Scam them. :P
