This seems like a weak argument to me. Allow me to demonstrate by using the same structure to argue for the banning of different cards:
"[Goblin Lackey] has to be banned, as it allows you to do...
Not true. Cards like Trinisphere, Chalice of the Void, Thorn of Amethest, and Sphere of Resistance are extremely effective at disrupting Storm combo.
Could you explain why you believe this...
The Ponders were really good. If I don't open with a Top, I like being able to Ponder turn 1 to start setting up, where turn 1 Brainstorm is a waste. They also help when you're digging with top by...
Well, as I said I'd consider trying to find room for the 4th Thoughtseize, but the list is pretty tight. I'm not sure what I could cut, except maybe 1x Ponder.
Haha, perhaps I should have added...
So I split for 1st at a mox tourney on Saturday. Here’s the list:
The Apocalypse
4 Brainstorm
4 Sensei’s Divining Top
4 Burning Wish
4 Duress
3 Thoughtseize
3 Doomsday

Might save you some time looking at lists manually.
You can also discard+reshuffle Emrakul by cracking LED in response to Bwish or Dday. You don't draw Emrakul very often and he's usually not that hard to get rid of if you do draw him.
You shouldn't have let him use "whom" as a subject.
I guess he's never heard of Dream Halls.
A succinct overview of the various storm combo options post-banning--well done.
I disagree with your picture pre-banning, however, because I don't think ANT was as easy to play as you make it out...
Merfolk folds to active Xantid Swarm out of the board. My testing has not shown the combo matchup to be favorable for Merfolk--it usually only wins when it has a fast clock (t4-5 kill) backed up by...
My own experience with ANT is consistent with many of the arguments advanced in the article. On the weekend of June 26/27, I played a build of Dday ANT in 2 tournaments, splitting for t4 on Saturday...
