Does anybody still follow this deck here?

Just wondering if anybody has tried out the new legacy legal Unfinity card Pair-O-Dice lost?
I dismissed it at first, but tried practicing around with it...

In a vaccuum, Nevermore. Naming Tendrils of Agony game 1 will typically result in an instant concession, and Infernal Tutor games 2 and/or 3 will usually put you in a pretty good position.
Rest in...

It's game 3, so the opponent knows we are on Storm.
Did the opponent take any mulligans?
If not, go with the above sequence and hope for no Wasteland.
If so, perhaps hold off on casting...

It is not bad at all. Caleb Sherer has used this approach to a lot of success in the past. See the link in post 5940 in this thread for more detail on this.

I have started experimenting a bit with one Collective Brutality in the main in place of one Duress. Results are inconclusive just yet, but it has allowed me to deal with a Deathrite Shaman G1, and...

Play out your Lotus Petals and LED's. Protect tutors and rituals with Brainstorm as best you can. If you have Flusterstorms bring those in (they can be decent at stopping Hymn, K. Command, and other...

FWIW, having now played approximately 75 games with Ground Seal in the sideboard, my experiences with it so far have been:
-If you see a Deathrite Shaman G1, rule of thumb is bring it in for G2 and...

This is an interesting point that I have been dealing with a lot lately.
I have often found that with 15 lands, I seem to get land flooded a lot, and/or draw lands at the least opportune times....

I have tested with Burning Wish a bit. Overall I was pretty disappointed. It can be ok as a sideboard card for situations where you expect to face a fair amount of discard + exile effects (surgical...

Autumn's Veil perhaps.
I have used this for surprise value on occasion at my LGS.

In a situation like this, couldn't you simply cast your rituals, etc. then Infernal Tutor...then while holding priority cast brainstorm with tutor on the stack (skipping the draws because of Leovold...

That makes sense. Thanks.

Tough break on that last match against B/r Reanimator.
In your defense though, he had a couple very good hands. Game 1, turn one Sire of Insanity on the play.
Game 2, a protected turn one combo...

I have been running the Sherer list(s) for quite some time now for the exact reasons you mentioned.
The most recent variant (with two Tendrils of Agony, two Chrome Mox, and no Dark Petition) is...

I have actually found Flusterstorm (and Surgical Extraction) to be very effective against B/r Reanimator.

On a similar note, while it is by no means a "great" matchup, in my experience so far the...

Perhaps it's worth noting though, that eldrazi (this deck's greatest nemesis) has not been putting up too many great results at tournaments lately. People seem to be getting pretty wise to it, and I...

I've been trying out Faerie Macabre a bit lately. It's been ok in limited testing so far, and pretty funny when they cast Stronghold Gambit on you...

I have found so far that being super fast is indeed the best solution (so far) to Eldrazi (and generally good against other permanent based hate decks such as Death and Taxes, etc.). Barring our own...

I admit it doesn't sound like much, but in my experience so far, yes.
This window is usually around turn three or four, which is usually plenty of time to have assembled a winning hand for the...

I have been having some success lately with this list:

8-blue fetchlands
2-Underground Sea
1-Volcanic Island
1-Tropical Island
1-Island
1-Swamp
4-Lotus Petal
4-Lion's Eye Diamond

Very interesting idea. Will be trying that out.

On a similar note, I have been experimenting with Seal of Primordium a bit, and have had some success. Still too early to say if it's a good...

At a glance I'm not too worried. The delirium requires four different card types in the caster's own graveyard, rather than checking all graveyards as a Tarmogoyf does. For a deck wanting an Envelop...

Very interesting...
Might give that a try.

Thank you very much!

I'm curious about this. Given that this deck uses Infernal Tutor rather than Burning Wish, how does the Doomsday sideboard work, and how does it give you additional game against Miracles?

I ask...

A lot of the successful Grinding Station build use a 2 Tendrils of Agony, 1 Empty the Wardens split rather than only Tendrils (for much the same reasons as you have experienced). With this change...
