How is this deck different from gifts storm other than using more convoluted rituals and win cons (like channel the sun and increasing vengeance)? I'm curious.

It's not so much different, but it was the base of gifts storm after seething song was banned. I do think that current builds are better, but with this build you were able to keep some of the control elements that the original list had.

Oh ok cool. I subbed to this primer before Gifts Storm took off. Then once Gifts Storm became is own I made the switch. Good to know the history.

Considering bringing this deck to a Team Unified Modern tournament. However, I am unable to use lightning bolt in the sideboard due to our team having a burn deck. It seems that this card is here in a narrow role for killing some problematic creatures (Baral in the mirror, what else?), and could be replaced by Flame Slash with minimal losses in terms of sideboard utility.
What do others think? Is it still viable without this piece? is Flame Slash a reasonable alternative? Are there other options (forked bolt, sudden shock, incinerate) that would accomplish the same things REASONABLY well (of course there is not obvious replacement, or people would play that instead)
For reference, the other deck I have available is Counters Company WITHOUT path to exile in the board there. Seems like missing lightning bolt is a lower impact than missing path there. Love to hear your ideas
Why do you think that the current builds are better? They are pretty different decks. One is straight up trying to storm you out before you can blink, while this deck is a control deck with a combo finish. You think that the straight up speed is better in this meta than the ability to interact with your opponent?

You COULD only play one PiF, but you will fizzle, if the opponent puts PiF into the Graveyard, if you have to Gifts it up.
