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

    I didn't read your report yet, but a) triple hatebears doesn't happen too often and b) Pyroclasm doesn't play through Mother of Runes. I'm currently considering Infest, but I think it's too slow....

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

    If you haven't made the landdrop before you cast Ad Nauseam and draw all lands you could fetch, well, then just play one of them and save one life.

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

    Again, if you don't need the landdrop pre-Ad Nauseam, why do you play the fetch here? You can just wait and drop the lands you're going to get off Ad Nauseam. But if you need to play around Daze or...

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

    First off, why do you make your third landdrop when you are going to cast cantrips this turn? Also, what does a regular hand mean? Do you only need one card (=Ad Nauseam, Infernal Tutor, Burning...

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

    A resolved Xantid Swarm is basically impossible to beat for them, that's true. Also, they don't have the fastest clock of all time, so it's not too bad if you only resolve it on turn three on the...

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

    No, I would cut them because Empty The Warrens will be harder to handle for them. It's pretty easy to reach four mana, with two lands or one land and a Chrome Mox / Lotus Petal you only need to...

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

    I don't really think that you can rely on Xantid Swarm that much anymore in the near future; i.e. in two weeks. Mental Misstep will be everywhere, and that thing just doubles Merfolk's chances of...

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

    I agree. The Merfolk matchup might become sligthly harder since you can't just go for Xantid Swarm and win anymore if they pack Mental Misstep, but if people are cutting Spell Snare from their decks...

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

    That's right, the spells are strong, but lands suck. I hate drawing lands when playing this deck. Also, most of the time drawing Tendrils is rather bad and Chrome Mox can be bad at times as well.

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

    I might've actually screwed up something, if I did, sorry for that. But I asked several of my teachers about that and they agreed with me. Perhaps I didn't explain it well enough, though. Anyway,...

    When you cast Diminishing Returns with no mana floating, you can't cast Time Spiral at all.

    It's not, you can put it however you want. It's even described in the article, look at Other Host Behaviors for reference.

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

    Sorry, but no. Each single card you see has the same percentage to be any of your cards. This is a difference. This is basically the same.

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

    Sure, but because there's also more shit than business in your deck overall, you're more likely to exile the shit. Thus you're more likely to draw into good stuff in cards 11-17. But like I said,...

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

    This is because it's more likely that there's bad stuff (usually lands) in the ten cards you exile than useful cards. Therefore you have a higher chance of hitting good stuff in the seven you draw....

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

    I certainly agree here. It will probably suck in the 5-colour lists, so I'm going to try it out in UBR-TES at first. I don't expect it to be good though.

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

    Sure. Why would you go for Empty The Warrens when you could go for protected Ad Nauseam or IGG loop for example? That's the purpose of having Empty The Warrens: to not just lose when you can't go for...

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

    Does that mean that you want to cut Empty The Warrens from both, maindeck and sideboard? I wouldn't recommend doing that. But it depends a lot on your matchups whether you actually need Warrens or...

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

    Basically strictly worse than Chants. You can't chantwalk them (which means you can be hit by discard), it still doesn't stop counterbalance, you are going to run into chant and there are a lot of...
