So if anyone watched the SCG Worcester round 6 match between Cook and Boswell you noticed the "storm" count cards. Basically a blank card with a cloud/lightning bolt, and mana symbols for black adn...

I blame Kai for this! Should of won the whole thing!

As long as we lean on the LED + IT interaction we can't really run counters. I'd rather have Lotus and DT than FoW in our deck.

On your first point. EtW is just mediocre imo vs. everything. Don't side out Ad Naus vs. BUG decks. They don't pressure your life total all that quickly (even BUG Delver is sort of slow). I would...

It's the same concept that is used in vintage. Legacy storm variants always have 2 to 3 basic lands in the sb for the stax matchups.

I mean if you are planning on playing the 2nd island anyways wouldn't a 2nd trop just be better 95% of the time? You probably only need to fetch one basic island.

As for the 2nd Island vs. Bayou vs. Badlands discussion, why not a 2nd Trop? Am I missing something here? It seems like it is the best option.

Back when I did have Karakas in my board. I played a match vs. show and tell where I drew it both times and each time he drew 14 cards at some point. I won both because a) I just natural tendrils him...

Xantid Swarm is the way to beat those matchups. There are a few lists that play a 1-of Karakas in the board as well for these matchups (and thalia). I have been back and forth cutting the 4th decay...

Hmm if that's the case I could probably cut one and add either a 2nd Carpet of Flowers, 3rd Massacre, a singleton Karakas or 3rd Top. Or maybe cut all three and add three/four of those.

I think my...

That actually makes sense. I think my results have just been skewed due to variance and swarm being great when I played it (i.e. they didn't have removal). I probably should just be boarding in 4...

I have been boarding in +4 Abrupt Decay, +3 Xantid Swarm, +2 Sensei's Divining Top, +1 Tendrils of Agony for -1 Preordain, -4 Duress and -3 Cabal Therapy, -2 Lotus Petal.

You basically go on the...

I asked the same question a few days ago. Just look back like 20-30 posts.

Basically vs. any deck w/ lightning bolt. You side out Ad Naus and bring in Tendrils. So UWR Delver, UR Delver, RUG...

Also I am probably insane for playing this deck at my LGS since it is over run with D&T and Miracles but what have you guys found as the best boarding strategies vs. these two decks?

Thanks

For those who have a 2nd Tendrils in the board. When do you board them in? and what are you taking out?

Also, with those running 1 or 2 bolts in the side is it ever better than having 2 massacre?...

Your right, bob is pretty bad atm. But, you could use them for the mirror. Looking at the last Open it seemed like UWR Stoneblade, Delver Variants, Miracles and Storm were the top decks/most popular...

That makes sense. I edited my post accordingly.

I need to figure out the SB though. I feel like I always over SB.

I posted this on the storm boards but posting here to see what people think.

I've been wanting to make a list that has the most consistent/focused G1s and came up with the following (note the...

I am currently thinking of picking up this deck. What do you guys think of the following list? I like the fact that TES has options for any situation because of Burning Wish. But, I also like the...
