Two multiversal arch-mages prepare for a legendary duel. They summon the power of the earth itself. They fight an unseen mental battle, each attempting to scramble the other's mind into nothing. They conjure fantastical beasts and powerful allies out of thin air. After a few minutes, one of them steps back and casts one final spell, and the battlefield goes quiet. No more spells, no more magical creatures. He walks up to his opponent, pulls a sardine out of the pocket of his robe, and slaps him repeatedly in the face with it.

Your most realistic means of winning that game was to double block the remaining creature and kill it, so the 2/2 was better to have on board than the 2/3. The weird interaction between swiftspear and possibility storm where the first spell triggers swift spear before being exiled just makes that situation worse.

I made a similar deck in Explorer. Drannith Magistrate combos with Possibility Storm, but better. It is one sided. So I have a playset of each in the main. I went with Nine Lives and Solemnity. Get a chance to find my High Noon off of Possiblity Storm. Can sometimes win games on their own. Doomskar is hidden tech. Because Possiblity storm only affects spells cast from the hand, it allows me to blow up the board while my lock is in place (admittedly, not the Magistrate half). My wincon lands are Castle Ardenvale and Westvale Abbey. Mostly due to wildcards. Partially because Abbey is a petcard of mine.
