When Theros Beyond Death first came out, I played a Thousand-Year Storm deck in best of one with Underworld Breach. I've been tuning the deck on stream and I've had a lot of success, so that's what I'll be covering today. It's an amazing deck and a blast to play!
This is the list.

This deck has multiple different combos, but if you ever get Wilderness Reclamation, Thousand-Year Storm, and Underworld Breach out, you'll just win the game. What's great is that all these cards are fine on their own, except for maybe Thousand-Year Storm, but you'll just win the game after untapping with it the following turn or at your end step with Wilderness Reclamation. Reclamation and Underworld Breach also works well and lets you refuel.
You don't have to worry about holding Shocks to go face because you have Underworld Breach so you can re-buy them all. Even if you use all your Shocks you still have Expansion // Explosion to end a game with Thousand-Year Storm or Wilderness Reclamation.
The deck attacks from so many different angles. In fact, against aggressive decks, Simic Flash, and Control you will be winning often with Niv-Mizzet, Parun and/or Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath.
The deck is super sweet, and I'd recommend watching the videos to get a feel of the gameplay as lines can be difficult to navigate. The video will also help with Sideboarding!
Enjoy, until next time!
