Storm Crown

Challenge

Using only cards from Onslaught block other than Mind's Desire, win the game as quickly as possible using a single storm card as the win condition.

This means that if you win with Scattershot or Tendrils of Agony, you can’t damage your opponent until you cast the final storm card, and if you win with Brain Freeze, you can’t mill your opponent or cause him to draw extra cards until you cast the final storm card.

Assumptions

You have perfect luck. For example, even after you shuffle your library, it’s ordered how you want. You may not assume anything about your opponent’s hand or library except that he won’t do anything relevant.

Attacking “quickly” refers to both the turn of the game and whether you’re playing or drawing first. Turn three on the draw is quicker than turn four on the play but not as quick as turn three on the play. If you’re on the play, winning on the opponent’s third turn is slower than winning on your second turn but faster than winning on your third turn. It’s equally as fast as winning on your third turn on the draw.
