Love the synergy with Dark Petition.

The article said that TES is better positioned than ANT versus Shardless. That is far from saying Shardless is a bad matchup for ANT.

Cool tool. I submitted a no-land hand that I still think is an easy keep but curious on your thoughts.

In my opinion context matters i.e. are we talking about a regular REL event like an FNM or something more competitive?

I'm not quite sure how what you said is different than what Lem said.

Seems...poor.

What are you naming against Rug, wasteland?

Grid still doesn't prevent miracles being able to counter one if not more spells during your turn. Pretty ineffective hate if you still need to dig for discard before going off.

Don't take it so personally, the statement was hardly condescending. With a deck with 12-13 lands it's frequently the case you'll only have 1 land in the opening 7. Having that land be a Taiga is a...

Unless you're trying to discard hate (Chalice, etc.) then you typically want to cast your discard as close to your combo turn as possible in order to remove the chance they have a counter waiting for...

The decklist on the opening post isn't tournament-legal just FYI

I don't disagree and why I'm not 100% behind the CRit plan, I was just reiterating how CRit still augments the main plan. I do like the idea of having IT in the SB for the longer games against Blue,...

Bryant did list these earlier, namely more mana floating post-AdNaus and making Wish able to get AdNaus via the SBed IT.

Telemin can cause creatureless decks to deck themselves.

Is this pre or post SB?

I'm on early EtW plan. If opponent taps out for top, Therapy naming FoW and Terminus on flashback.

A BS next mainphase has much less outs that the EOT one. Any of the cards you mentioned above is an out for EOT, for mainphase you now need a combination of Petal/Mox+Red card AND Rite of Flame or...

At a high level the author says that the metagame shifts with regards to tempo, combo and other archetypes have made playing storm much more unfavorable than it was previously.

Sure and TES doesn't care about RiP or Cage which is seeing a lot more play. In the combo mirror, TES's speed gives a slight edge. At the end we're talking about single-digit percentage points...

That's your right if you feel that way, folks have been putting up decent results with TES as well. Sometimes just comes down to playstyle and preference.

It's easier to hate out the main storm engine of ANT versus TES, but in general the metagame isn't very favorable to either. TES's speed is also a big advantage over it's combo-sibling.

Went with the 4/4/4 split between Gemstones, fetches and duals and performed great. Didnt miss Silence all day.

Hindsight is 20/20. Not saying not going for it was correct but there was more than 4 FoWs to worry about.

From yesterday's open (377 total participants - who says Legacy is dead?), forgive me for my spotty notes and memory. I went with the full-discard protection package with 2 Duress and 1 Thoughtseize...
