    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    This is a pretty cool idea. It looks like you're including sideboard cards on this list, so stuff like Ethersworn Canonist or Surgical Extraction could be considerations. It also seems like you're...

    I'm going to be streaming the Legacy daily on MTGO in about 20 minutes with TES. Come watch at twitch.tv/cuthbertthecat if you're interested.

    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    I have an idea. Rather than come to the TES thread to discuss ideas that will likely be dismissed, test them first. If they work for you, talk about why they worked for you. If they didn't, don't...

    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    Partially agree with cutting swarm; on the one hand, it is very good against the BUG decks since they're probably boarding out abrupt decay against us, but on the other hand because deathrite shaman...

    It's a hard transition to make, but it builds character or something.

    More importantly, you're back on this deck and not on RUG.

    JUSTICE!

    Also, I'm not sure if reanimator can beat Karakas out of this deck. It's beautiful.

    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    I've been doing a bit of testing, and it seems that you want the 13th land back in to hit the color requirements. That could have just been the small number of games I played, but I did have a bit of...

    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    Also, the best way to improve the merfolk matchup is to test the shit out of it. Honestly, it's pretty easy once you figure out that they have only 8 cards that matter if you're patient in wasteland...

    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    I feel your pain, I'm just missing a thoughtseize pimped from my deck too. For those wondering, foils have much more functionality than non-foils and you will win games because of them.

    Maybe, but duress hits force and sneak attack which I expect in higher numbers than Maverick atm.

    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    I've been doing a lot of testing with both lists, and they feel about the same on power level, but I think probe shouldn't substitute for hard disruption. I've probed with the win in hand to see...

    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    Yeah, I've been testing and I'm pretty sure grapeshot is correct. For example, today I was playing against u/w miracles with the 2 ad naus list and I came into a situation where I had to ad nauseam...

    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    I've been testing with the following sideboard, and I think it solves the issues that have been addressed. It's pretty close to Bryant's, but a few cards off.

    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    I dunno, you're probably right but I'm still gonna test with 2x xantid swarm over a deathmark and grapeshot, as I think the points you made for them against Sneak and Show were pretty good and I have...

    Igg is pretty conditional, but a good example is when you have dark rit 2 leds and an infernal. You cast the rit and leds, cast infernal making bbbrrr, search for wish and cast floating bbbbr, get...

    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    You could just shave a deathmark if you're more concerned with losing to unfair decks than maverick, which given recent top 8 results is probably correct. Or ,as much as you probably would hate to...

    I split the finals of a mox sapphire tournament yesterday with the 5 chant, 4 sideboard inquisition list. The only thing I really learned from it was that Sneak+Show is a pretty winnable matchup,...

    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    That's significantly less cool. Did you sell the duals yet, and would you be interested in shipping them to me if you haven't? Also, I think you're gonna regret that sale pretty soon.

    I'm not sure why you guys are concerned with your burn matchup. Just kill them. Ad nauseam from 14 on turn 2 while respecting fireblast if you haven't duressed isn't really that bad. As for U/R, I've...
