So, you let your opp resolve a Gaddock through chalice on two?

tilting seems fair

Here's a situational food-for-thought:

Opening hand is a 14 goblin hand; Lands, rituals, a Burning Wish, an LED, and a Gitaxian Probe. It's game two on the play of the RUG matchup and you lead...

sad panda face behind the camera?

Been to the first post in this thread?

He said it isn't stellar. Sure 12+ goblins on turn one will win, against most all decks it will making it kind of a moot point. I think he means that if you can go for a turn 1 EtW, go for it,...

Yeah that's where I was trying to get at too. Since nothing is 100%, PiF would have been the best chance at a win given 3 LEDs and three/four cantrips in the yard. But with DR you aren't guaranteed...

Four cantrips? Ponder lets you see four cards, Brainstorm three and Probe one. Don't recall which cantrips were in your yard but unless all four were Probes you would have seen more cards than the...

That's the kind of hand that makes ya think, all right.
Your given info:
Your hand consists of 4 Rits, 1 RoF, 1 Brainstorm and 1 Gemstone Mine. They run at least one Bayou. You're on the draw....

+1 ^

I'd go more towards Lemnear's strategery. Burn is winnable when you're faster, so OP maindeck is the way to go. Esper Stoneblade is favorable if you can go off earlier, and they'll win the late...

So what exactly are you saying here? I'm sort of confused, they both seem like good things.

This is a different deck for another thread, metinks. Ain't broke = don't fix

Silence is sort of the reason to play this deck over ANT. Cutting it unless you have a sick read is otherwise wreckless and not as good as you think. Gonna back up Lemnear, go ahead and cut Silence...

With all due respect, if you can master TES before November, you should be hitting the poker/blackjack tables instead.

If you think about it, SnS must have two counters to our one disruption. Sometimes an extra card to pitch to FoW. Therefore, as I see it through Bryant's eyes, you only really need a couple...

Then they burn their counters on your non-combo cards? Doesn't seem like a downside to me, especially in the Blue Combo matchup.

Read the OP

Edit:
About Chain of Vapor and Sneaky Show. It gets boarded not only for corner cases where it wins you the game, it answers their hate they tend to bring in and can be used to gain...

Honestly, I'd leave Empty in on the play, too. But to continue my honesty, I'm going to stick to what Bryant says and does before making independant decisions on the deck.

Yeah, all you're really doing by boarding out EtW vs Maverick is decreasing the odds of seeing a dead[er] card.

Batterskull, and their hatebears is why ETW isn't great against Maverick. They are a creature heavy deck so every turn they can add to the board and stop a team of goblins. It's best to side in...

Game one against BUG cascade you keep that and make a bunch of dudes, they rarely have FoW maindeck. Game three on the other hand...I'd keep that hand and sit on the brainstorm. What did he bring...

It's about the only way to win if you are going to a long game vs discard. Black Lotus is tech.

@Kayradis

Thorn of Amethyst and Cabal Therapy are also popular options, also Gaddock Teeg isn't uncommon. Expect Therapies from the decks that play Duals, and Thorns from the mono G lists. And...

So, you're saying it's a 50/50 match? :tongue:

I've played against it a few times and tested some with ANT before I decided to build and play TES instead. That's all pretty much the jest of it. ...

Went X-X at the GP with TES, and my problem matchups this weekend were the UWx decks. Esper, Miracles, etc. It seemed that I just didn't have enough disruption to plow through and Storm to win. I...
