Silence was probably bad even when we thought it was good, splashing another colour for a disruption card that isn't strictly necessary is a dubious choice. I even debate Green, Bayou and Abrupt Decay vs Miracles because with 8 discard the odds are their 3 Counterbalance never see the board, so bounce and another Underground Sea are probably best.
Regardless you `play more fetches or not - you play among 14 lands just 1 Swamp (1 unique basic land for discard and DR) - do yo really think having 1 solitary Swamp, will help you combating Wastelands?I've always preferred to just cantrip and beeing destroyed - at its simples the rule: "If I have 2 Lands then dicard If I have 1 then Cantrip" has been great for me during eras... sometimes Wasteland is even good vs us even giving us tempo and allowing us to cantrip... we only need polivalent lands and that0s been one of my most accepted faacts in TES.. I don't conceive to be playing Island of course - and as WPreux I would love to be playing 12 super polivalent cards. I really dont care B2B or BMoon either. I've always thouth that Leaving Silence didn't mean to leave such a great land as Gemstone... regrding Stifle well ths card in deed f*** us the tempo very nicely and sure there are more decks with wasteald but uniquely those playing wasteland AND Stifle is where I am worried about Stifle - the rest only playing wastealnd just doesn't mind to me- as said as ex. vs DT I prefer even to take my land if I have pondered and have enough lands in hand and missing the threat or LED.
well those are some of my feelings FFortune... I just wrote and wrote but there are just incorrect or right maths in my mind regarding TES and its (his?) context...
@Bryant winning the Open:
Congratulations dude! nice list in deed. good call about 2nd EtW - 11 Threats 4CM 7Discard and of course 14Lands for 1st games. I'll hate that Island until eternity but ok. Side is great also - very typical with those AD and Xantids/Bouncers - but good call on excluding those SE! I would not play personally EtW plan, but recognize that had to be key to survive among those RUGs
@wPreaux: Nice read! - we in deed should be playing 12 Threats but with my few testing - 10Threats8Cantrip are not beeing bad - sure I am more firghtned of siding out Ponders now... and I would prefer a eleventh...
@Guys:
- As said, I don't know if moving for 1 CT instead 1 Duress main as it seems that we have 7 peek effects, opinions?
- SE doens't seem to me relevant, I don't know if to play a couple of pyros or fluster or carpet - something to interact on the stack.
- now the deck is good but - also the EtW strategy is good s RUG - what I mean is that I prefer others ways of winning this match up - now typical lists run 1-2 Snares plus fluster and lot of shit.
- Defnetly at some point when 1st time played since GP ban, we loved Silences and I want to make the next move as follows. which also may fail of coruse!:
o 4TSeize,4 Silence, 13OldSilenceBase + 1 badlands and as usual - 1EtW 1AN. I'd likely play then overload of Duresses in side. Mybe 3Silence 1 Duress...
o Nxt I can play some carpet or some decay withouth hurting he manabase. Sorry but I see the things backwards. I've thinking about 3rd CoB instead of badlands. Opinions on this?

Queued into a High Tide player and had to pull out the Grapeshot. Game 1, I played an early Empty the Warrens that got Flusterstorm'd, and later on Ad Nauseam'd on turn ~7 into a Tendrils of Agony kill. Game 2 I decided to go all-in against my opponent's mull to 5... that unfortunately contained Force of Will. I ended up dying to Brain Freeze. Game 3 I got the Ad Nauseam through, and the opponent took a chance on Extracting Dark Ritual instead of Lotus Petal, which let me pretty comfortably go off and check off the Grapeshot. I think this is the "Stormiest" match you can get, barring Crow Storm in Commander or throwbacks to TSP/Lorwyn combo or something.

Even if the Chalice of the Void angle is being dealt with by Pulverize, Leyline of Sanctity is still a very real thing.
