Storming to Fourth Place - NLTES at Lotus Event
Re: Storming to Fourth Place - NLTES at Lotus Event
Nice report sir. I like your updated list a lot. I do have a question though. Why the redundant hate in the board? It seems like you have more BW targets than necessary for dealing with hatebears. I've been testing on and off an SI variant that plays BW into various D7's, after Breathweapon highlighted how god dam broken they are. Diminishing Returns is more of an 'oh shit' button than an engine but both Balance of Power and Recurring Insight have been phenomenal off of a BW/LED.
Re: Storming to Fourth Place - NLTES at Lotus Event
Thanks. This is more of a discussion for the thread. But... I've tested recurring insight, I even bought a jap foil one thinking it'd be good. It's not. I never had two mana I didn't care about to throw into insight over Returns. If I had one more I could just get Infernal for Nauseam.
Redundant bear hate? It's necessary to win in today's metagame.

Nice job. Are all the times you play Grapeshot just showboating?

After round one, yes.
Re: Storming to Fourth Place - NLTES at Lotus Event
Nice. It is quite fun.
I've been playing a couple fetches for a little while now, but I do like the extra shuffle effects of 4 fetches. It always annoys me when I can't turn my Brainstorms into recalls.
Re: Storming to Fourth Place - NLTES at Lotus Event
Lol.
I know such a day would have come.
Fetchlands in TES.
You finally realized that they were good, Bryant. We were all waiting for you.
Still, cut 1 of those fucking Chrome Mox.

LOL, I know right? So many times when I've gotten maybe just one Chrome Mox too many.
Anyhow, congrats on the finish Bryant, I'm really tempted to take this list for a spin, looks sleeker, sexier.
Re: Storming to Fourth Place - NLTES at Lotus Event
What makes me cringe at looking at that list is noticing you play a shitty mana base just to play 3 cards (4 counting Grip). Is Chant so good that it's better than Seize + Fetch/Dual mana base?
Other than that, congrats, you're the only one that can do it,

Yes.
My manabase isn't that far off of what T.Kowlowith top 8'd Chicago with. I just think badlands is terrible and would rather play cities.
