MLD Thunder Storm Guide

Introduction

This started first as a joke cheap build, but was discovered to be amazing for Sorceress versus Sorceress (SvS) and quite possibly the most fun at duelling in public games. Quite a lot of rage has been produced by this build, and a great amount more is to come. Especially with the new

Static Field synergy.
