Information

First let me credit Calebovitsch for his monstrosity of a deck. Which inspired me to change a few cards and make my monstrosity. It's actually really good, and for anyone one who is old, like me, it plays very much like storm combo. You need to practice a lot. Go through enough gauntlets until you know exactly how you will string your cards together. In versus, if you take forever, you won't finish your turn, and you'll just annoy your opponent. The deck is very resilient to hate cards, and has a fairly good game against aggro. Its biggest weakness is the amount of mistakes you'll make, believe me, it takes a lot of concentration and quick math, and calculating when Omens is good or bad in the string. It's not for everyone.

The main different between the two decks is that this one tries to win in one turn, instead of multiple. Glimpse the possibilities is incredible in the deck. You generate +30 temporary power in a turn, and chain together damage spells to kill your opponent.

Some notable card details:
Flame Blast - Most of the time this is this is better in your void than in your hand. Don't be afraid to play it for 0 at someone, the turn before you go off.
Research Assistant - fixing and tribute for 0. It will also generate +1 power over two turns and distract your opponent.
Glimpse the Possibilities - The card is absolutely fantastic. Make sure to account for Rebuild going back to your deck for the revenge, it won't have warp. You'll know when your top card is the destiny rebuild and can play any draw spell to continue
Rebuild - no notes needed here
Garden of Omens - Quite necessary to going off, mostly because of Prodigious Sorcery in the market. It's the easiest way to win. You can win without this, it just takes a couple more turns.
End of the Barrel - card's just ok, it makes things a bit more consistent, I wouldn't play more than 3. You can trigger it a few ways, but it's also fine giving you +2 power.
Wrath of Caiphus - Your best card draw spell. Particularly good after playing Rebuild.
--------------MARKET---------------
Rain of Frogs - Get it early against control. You can't get this when you have Omens out.
Flash Fire - Life Flame Blast, this is worth more most of the time in your void. Don't be afraid to fetch it and discard it. These are all possible plays that you must consider when going off. This is just a backup, to the backup, for winning. Can only get this when you have omens out.
Prodigious Sorcery - Your main win condition at the end of your combo chain. You need omens out to be able to get it.

The combo looks really cool. Is it not hard to get the TTTT needed for rebuild?
imestr8 Eternal Version: 20.10.06
Thank you for your comment. I'm not going to lie, the influence needs of the deck are indeed difficult. Calebovitsch is using Archangels for Time fixing in his version, and I am using Research assistant in mine to assist with fixing. Notable is also that the most of two faction power gives you Time, since you want to hit 4T before trying to go off, even more than F, since you can draw Archangels during going off to add more F influence. You can't really go off with the combo realistically before turn 7-9, which should be enough of a window to get the Time influence that you need.

Very cool deck. I like the glimpse and and End of the Barrel addition. I just played first game of the day with it and went OTK, reach level 60 with fire and got new emote.

You got nerves.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Definitely a fitting way to get that emote.

If you'd like to follow along with the most recent testing on this, I have included Crack the Earth and a Workshop Forge in the market.
Helps with consistency and lessen's the reliance on Omens.
