Ill Gotten Gains
Storm Combo
Overview
"A storm-adjacent combo deck that loops Ill-Gotten Gains with Dark Ritual and Duress to strip the opponent's hand while building storm count, finishing with Tendrils of Agony or Brain Freeze. Note: Tendrils of Agony was banned in standard Premodern on 2018-01-01, so this storm finish is legal only in Premodern Unchained (Brain Freeze remains a legal finisher)."
Game Plan
Cast Dark Ritual into Ill-Gotten Gains, recurring rituals and discard. Each loop increases storm count and depletes the opponent's hand. Finish with a lethal Tendrils of Agony or Brain Freeze. Note: Tendrils of Agony was banned in standard Premodern on 2018-01-01, so this storm finish is legal only in Premodern Unchained (Brain Freeze remains a legal finisher).
