Yeah, they can. Hopefully you can cast Duress or something before you go off.

Noting that the top 3 decks are Maverick, U/w Stoneblade and RUG Tempo, what are the best ways DDFT can beat them?

I think having Helm of Awakening will be a great help in beating Maverick (beats...

I do this all the time. Usually go for it if you don't have a strong turn 2 play.

Right! This is a deck I've been meaning to mess around with lately.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Chromatic Sphere beats removal on Lab Maniac because it doesn't go on the stack.

LM is still probably bad, but this does improve things a bit.

I think this is debatable. You could argue that one would win more games running something useful in all matchups (acceleration, cantrips, protection) than something narrow that will only be relevant...

Also, the card is very good in the combo mirror.

I know what you're saying, but I think you described it wrong. If you respond to the Top activation with cracking your LEDs, Tendrils won't be in your hand until after you discard your hand. You'll...

Oh yeah, I didn't realize you weren't running Ponder. If you can make the space, I would definitely sneak a set of Ponders in your list. Btw, I didn't have any preferences on any of the cards I...

@ Brucewayne: That list looks pretty solid. I haven't played Rev614 for a while, but what do you think about running Gitaxian Probes in the deck? That may reduce some of the strain that LDV can...

Yeah, and because of this, something like Pyroclasm might be a better option as a wishable way to deal with multiple hatebears.

Lists with IU and burning wish are probably better than the German list when it comes to dealing with hatebears. You can always wish for Deathmark, and postboard you can bring in Chain of Vapor and...

On the whole "IU vs. Meditate" debate, there are really two ways to break things down. There are obviously exceptions, but with the printing of Gitaxian Probe, things have kind of split into:

Run...

Here are some standard ones, but there are many variations to up your storm count at the cost of additional mana. Storm counts include DD:

Gitaxian Probe in hand + BBB + 1UU
6 Storm + Tendrils
...

I agree with Admiral. Additionally, having something to board against hivemind has been something I've been thinking about lately (for storm decks in general). Flutterstorm seems pretty good, but...

I've really liked it so far, but I'm still messing around with the setup. I'd like to test different combinations of DD and AN to see which I like the best.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I'm also...

That list has been surprisingly sick for me. Great work, random.

Sometimes it seems like the deck wants more lands. I haven't messed with the manabase yet, but so far I am at -1 Cabal Ritual, -1...

This looks interesting. How often do you use DD vs. Ad Nauseam?

flrn, how has your doomsday list been working for you?

Cloud of Faeries can definitely be good sometimes, but I think the issue is that it can be countered. Against counterbalance decks, you can't reliably cast it (and they're usually so slow that you...
