Hi Sigi, do you believe Paradox Engine is the better way to go when it comes to storm decks opposed to a High Tide Build?
How has Voltiac Key been working for you, I've been hesitant to try it myself?

High Tide is very different in terms of deckbuilding. I prefer the Paradox version for a 4c deck since having access to 4 colours allows you to play a higher number of generally useful card, and because High Tide mana bases are pretty awkward in a 4c deck.
Voltaic Key is great in the deck. Provides Engine untaps, gives you extra mana with your mana-positive rocks, and provides infinite draw with Paradox Engine + Sensei's Divining Top.

Ok thanks, just two more questions. Why no Helm of Awakening ?
And I noticed that you play Culling the Weak but opt not to play Diabolic Intent is there any reason for this choice?
Thanks again! :-)

Helm of Awakening being symmetrical is something I've found to be very awkward many times, and to be honest - the deck just doesn't need it.
Culling the Weak gives me the option for some very early Ad Nauseam plays, which isn't the cast with Diabolic Intent.

Intuition is back in the list now, since Mind's Desire didn't end up being used at all. Merchant Scroll is a solid card and one that Lilbrudder decided to put into his version, which he's updating right now. Candelabra certainly looks a bit suspicious, and it's mostly in there as a cheap artifact with the relevant upside of doing some colour fixing on my Storm turn.
