Hi friends, I'm relatively new to brewing, and I'm hoping some of y'all might give me some advice. I'm currently working on a deck helmed by Intet, the Dreamer. The the aim of the deck is to cast spells for free, as big as possible, as often as possible. I'm also hoping to include a storm theme to take advantage of the fact that casting spells for free boosts your storm count. Finally, any cards that are flavourfully related to dreams get bonus points, and I'll probably include them over comparable cards that don't feel dream-like or mention dreams somewhere on the card.

I don't have a specific budget, but I'm hoping to mostly avoid cards over $10, and keep the majority under 5. My list is very much incomplete and WIP. My biggest question for y'all is whether you think a deck can support both the storm theme and the big-spells theme, or whether I really need to pick a lane, but all suggestions, comments, and criticisms are welcome.


Here's some of the stuff I'm thinking of including:

Casting stuff for free
Etali, Primal Storm
Sunbird's Invocation
Aminatou's Augury
Omniscience <-flavourfully dream-like
Rashmi, Eternities Crafter <-storm theme
Magus of the Mind <-storm theme
Unexpected Results
Intet, the Dreamer (commander)
Etherium-Horn Sorceror

cards that are fun to cast for free
Mind's Dilation <-also lets me cast other people's stuff for free. Also dream-flavoured.
Clone Legion
Beacon of Tomorrows
Maelstrom Wanderer <-storm theme
Terastodon
Enter the Infinite <-flavourfully dream-like
Overflowing Insight
Blatant Thievery
Star of Extinction
Nezahal, Primal Tide

Notable storm-support
Jori En, Ruin Diver <-draws cards for casting multiple spells
Frantic Search <-free card selection
Gush <-free card draw
Turnabout <-interaction or ritual
Pore over the Pages <-can be free or close in conjunction with bouncelands/enchantment ramp
Snap <-free interaction
Brass's Bounty <-can be mana-positive especially if cast for free
Unwind <-free interaction
Temporal Fissure
Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle <-get a 12/12 for casting lots of spells? Seems ok. Also Dream-related

Win-cons
Enter the Infinite > Inner Fire > Comet Storm everyone for roughly 80
Aetherflux Reservoir + Weather the Storm

dream-flavoured support cards
Nostalgic Dreams <-can rebuy rituals or payoffs for storming
Drawn from Dreams <-just a decent card-draw/selection spell
Dream Cache <-can set up the top of the deck Intet, Etali, or a cascade-type spell
Dreamstone Hedron <-on-theme ramp in case I need to hard-cast my big spells
Dreamscape Artist <-on-theme ramp and fixing in blue
Embodiment of Spring <-on-theme ramp
Everdream <-pretty cool if I can splice it onto a storm card
Frontier Bivouac <-just an obvious inclusion, happens to talk about dreams in flavourtext
Rewind <-"free" interaction that also has dream-related flavourtext

Oh and Dream Halls would be perfect if it wasn't out of my budget. A pox upon the reserved list.
