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

    ROFL. If you had half of the experience that Bryant had you would actually be doing something in tournaments. Your conclusions differ from Bryant decklist wise I would wager and he's better with...

    In game 1 we have zero outs other than getting lucky against a resolved countertop softlock so therapy on CB is definitely right. Not to mention if ponder is your only cantrip ponder is best...

    With 14 lands it's likely to be worse than cabal ritual and even chrome mox as for rain of filth to be at all good you want 3+ lands in play and 14 lands doesn't consistently accomplish that even...

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

    I just upped my karakas count for SCG Minneapolis. Did poorly but there was plenty of griselbrands running around. The larger the tournament the more likely it is that you'll face griselbrand decks...

    Yeah LED is worth less than infernal tutor on modo last I heard. In fact infernal tutor is the most expensive card in the deck online at 30ish tix a pop if you go with bloodstained mires for fetches...

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

    My thoughts exactly. While deck techs are nice for attention, showing that you have a deck worth over 10 grand seems like a bad idea. Noticed you swapped out the polluted delta. I'm guessing it...

    Congratz on the top 8 Bryant! Always good to see storm performing well and smashing people. I love these announcers. They say "oh there's lots of blue in the northeast, I wonder how storm combo...

    They have to say SOMETHING. They're commentators and what are they getting paid to do? They're getting paid to talk. Rapt silence isn't exactly entertaining unless it's a super tense moment or...

    Congrats. I know what its like to be over sideboarded against, and it fucking sucks. Seriously, some people completely misconstruct their sideboard for a given event.

    Brainstorm enables some very sick lines of play, increases the turn 1 win percentage, and is literally the best spell in legacy. You haven't lived until you brainstorm ad nauseam on top and crack...

    I almost assume he was playing enchantress? LED on turn 5 is hilarious. An aggro deck would have won by turn 5, and you're complaining? I can also play 'real magic' quite well, I just choose to...

    Congratulations Bryant! Loved seeing you pilot storm through the top 8 to victory. The grapeshot kill was probably the best part by far. Glad you were able to punish that UWR player keeping some...

    I clapped right after I saw him rip LED off the ponder shuffle. Commentators had no idea what he was looking for...all he needed was LED and the game was over. It was a wee bit awkward when he went...

    But deathrite is the backup win con in SI, and can actually do things unlike progenitus (unless you're proposing that SI run a transformational sideboard into NO Progenitus...this sounds terrible.)

    It's terrible because let's say you use boseiju on infernal tutor. They counter the ad nauseam. If you don't use the mana on infernal tutor and they see an untapped boseiju they just counter the...

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

    Badlands doesn't tap for blue and that's a huge problem. Imagine opening up this hand:

    Badlands, Ponder, Brainstorm, LED, LED, Duress, Wish.

    Such a hand would be stacked if the opponent...

    You could just run chain of vapor or echoing truth over karakas in the board if he keeps naming red, punish him for it. Or run maindeck tendrils of agony as you can then easily win through iona on...

    I now maindeck one tropical in ANT. There's a bayou in the board still. Boarding in an extra 1-2 lands against tempo helps a little bit but it doesn't vastly improve the matchup on its own. If...
