Dies to Removal

At first I was joking about some Leyline/Quicken Storm deck with this thing in it...then I saw this tweet by Craig Wescoe.

"Keep or mulligan?"


So I instantly want to jam 4 of these bad boys into Affinity and Burn and see where it takes me. Thoughts on playing this in hyper aggro decks? Thoughts on potential combo decks with this card?

ending the turn is my problem and it's not like affinity or burn need to refill their hand (affinity has thoughtcast and Tezz if they need to and, if anything, burn would rather have another bolt)

It's better than their last attempt at this effect.

don't really like it but maybe it's amazing or something, whatever

Just get a Vedalken Orrery into play.

There are a number of very strong Sorceries in the Modern card pool that would be made much stronger if they could be cast at instant speed. Leyline of Anticipation is nice there, and Quicken is good too, but coupled with Day's Undoing the cantrip part of Quicken sort of vanishes. But pack in other powerful sorceries, probably in Esper colors, and it starts making more sense. No idea if that would pan out as being competitive, but it does start to build itself.
