Not having duress sucks, and slows down storm, but snapcasting recall or timewalk is sooooooo nice.
With the Dark Confidants and the Snapcasters, simple aggro is a win condition as well, or at the very least lowers the amount of spells you need for tendrils.
Thoughts on this example deck? (Is there a place for snapcasters in bobstorm?)
Here are my issues:
A. You only have 25 mana sources, which is very light for storm. Also too many mana artifacts can polarize your deck against mud or other null rod/ chalice variants, your worst match up..
B. Snapcaster mage + cabal ritual = X
C. As bad as duress is against mud, hatebears, Tmwa etc., flusterstorm is even worse.
D. You only have 1 mb tendrils with no other win condition save 2/1 wizard beat down, and you don't have a full playset of either creature.
E. More bounce seems so good. Its a must have against power hate decks, is a storm engine particularly with all the artificial mana, can bounce sdt for card draw, bounce snapcaster for more spells, protect your bobs from removal, bounce mana crypt/bob/mana vault if its killing you...bounce is your all around utility and your running light.
F. Snapcaster mage is win more against mud etc, which again, is already your worst matchup
G. like you said f storm slows your deck considerably.
