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

    Virtue's Ruin kills a 10/10. Actually came up against me during the GP, had my opponent had Ruin over Pyroclasm I might have lost.

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

    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...

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

    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 ->...

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

    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...

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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...

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

    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...

    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...
