You don't want 3x Empty here. Both Ad Naus and it require extra life to go off and basically the same amount of mana, but EtW is easier to beat. In ANT, Empty was good because your Ad Naus is worse...
MD Truth/Chain seems terrible, as you can't realistically Tutor for it. That means you need to Ad Naus to have access to it, and the only hate cards you can Ad Naus through but not Tendrils them...
My only current consideration is a way to Wish for enchantment kill, but that is only relevant against Solitary from Enchantress which I think you can beat with Ad Naus my deck -> Empty for lethal ->...
Tested some more vs RUG, basically Bryant is right about everything. Matchup isn't that bad in part because their deck sucks half the time, Ad Naus is the nuts and EtW is just a mediocre version of...
I'm strongly considering cutting the 4th Chrome Mox for a 14th land (3rd City) just because I'm sick of getting Wasteland + Dazed out by RUG. How much worse will this make Ad Nauseams?
50% sure I am. 25% I'm playing Jace plus Knight of the Reliquary, 25% I'm going off the deep end.
Highlights of Wednesday night Legacy:
-Enchantress opponent had T0 Leyline of Sanctity game two, untapped with Enchantress 2-3 times that game, and had Aura of Silence, 2 Leyline, Solitary up at...
Mystic was in play and active. If I wait Skull starts putting him out of actual range.
Been TESing at local events as it has been proving more fun than UB and better against people who decide they want to show up with a million counters. Scenario of the night given the 2 Ad Naus, 0...
Onto more important topics:
Bryant, what is the best way to get someone to not scoop to you if you want to Grapeshot them? This is a very big issue as everyone I've played vs. who deserves it just...
Storm player quality is way too high variance for their sample size to be conducive. I did the math once for ANT, in events I played the archetype was something like +10% to win matches.
A true American hero, especially if recent discussions are to be believed.
Brainstorm and then you can fetch? Everything will work itself out.
Edit: Wait, I can do it again? So, we can mulligan this hand OR we can keep and basically EDH mulligan?
Play for Empty the Warrens. They have real issues beating that card. Also, how is Mox ever getting Springed? What are you casting the turn before that you need Mox mana for?
I've also played...
Even if Chant is the default "better" card, Chant + Chant is worse than drawing Duress + Chant. The first Chant is great, but I would rather have Duresses than Chants beyond that.
1. If Chant...
flrn: Realistically, no one here does things like that at large events. Locally I know my meta wants Silence as it is heavy combo, light on non-Maverick aggro, and Leyline is common from...
That kid is retarded. Lets just cut real cantrips for cards that don't actually help find anything and cut Thoughtseize for a card that is just worse if you don't draw your other bad card and usually...
Ended up playing this deck last week and winning.
Personally, I felt extremely crippled and constrained without Cabal Ritual for mana, but I can also see feeling the same about having less turn...
Bryant, I agree on 1, 3 (though 2x BW is more likely than 2x Grim and Grim often chains for Storm count), 4 (though Rebuild is the nut and my Dim. Ret. experience is likely colored by idiots leaning...
I have actual no idea what you are talking about here. Please describe. Jason and I play at the same local store, the match was chill, and there was nothing afterwards other than wishing him good...
Meh, I kept two hands I felt were fairly solid at killing fast through a Chant and he had two hands that killed faster. Had I had a Bob-Duress hand game two I likely had it. I'm life time 1-3 in the...
Realistically, both games were over had I known you didn't play Force, G1 the play I made beat Force but lost to a 2nd Vendillion or a Karakas and you had the 2 outer, and G2 you drew out of a mull...
I've discovered the answers were
1. Make a better board, basically more Tendrils (EtW in this deck does the same).
2. Cantrip better, start remembering to not auto ship Tendrils as it's the...
Bryant, do you have a plan against these new 16 counterspell Landstill decks? I thought I did with ANT, but apparently somewhere between the 13th and 16th hard counter things start to not look so...
