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

    Thanks for the update. I know back when I ran it I really liked having the Chrome Mox since I found myself relying on the AN route more often then not. In those scenarios having another 0 mana source...

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

    Hey All,

    After about a 2 year break from Legacy and Magic all together, I have come back into Legacy on MTGO (yea I know, it sucks compared to paper). I had to sell off the majority of my paper...

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

    With Therapy it seems good, but I had a slower hand which I think is what made it so tough. With a faster hand, being able to just Therapy before they can establish board presence seems elementary. ...

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

    Yea, it was Fow x2, Pierce, Mutavault, Lord of Atlantis, Silvergil Adept, Island.

    I ended up just running the Swarm out into the open 1st instead, it ended up getting countered. The next turn...

    Lemnear: Fish = Merfolk, yes.

    I think I was too aggressive shipping the hand back. I def. want to play the Petal turn 1 if I don't get a Blue land so I can Brainstorm in response to Therapy. I...

    3 questions that came up in a recent Legacy night at my LGS.

    1. Against a deck running white (Plateau in Goblins, Maverick, D&T, Nic Fit with White, etc.), game one a blind Cabal Therapy...

    They are very loose, but I was just trying to get the ball rolling and the thoughts flowing on sideboard cards outside of "the norm". I still really like having the Topical Island in the board for...

    I am thinking about cards like Hurkyl's Recall against Painter. It is dead against Chalice on two, but I feel like most time they drop the Chalice on one to stop us. Do this in their end step to...

    At this point I'm kinda locked in to running TES at the GP DC next week. I don't feel as comfortable with any other deck to just audible out at this point. I've been playing and practicing TES...

    TP seems really nice in the mirror and in the Show and Tell matches. I like having the Tropical Island in board to have extra mana help for Swarm and Decay.

    I don't know if I miss IGG yet. I...

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

    I guess counter discard is the way to go then. I feel like I haven't yet learned the full potential of protecting a hand with Brainstorm to put needed cards on top in response to discard. I feel if...

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

    Seems nice. I feel like it saves you when the 1 card you need is lost, but I think it could make a bad situation worse. If you are stuck with stuff on top already due to a Brainstorm and no fetch...

    It is probably way to slow, but what about something like Ancestral Visions? You can play it turn 1 against something running discard. You then spend the next couple of turns priming by disrupting...

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

    I am seeing this trend in Lemnear's reports. The engine part seems like drawing 7 means a potential 7 extra Storm. I have def. been in situations where I was low on life and couldn't AN safely, and...

    I still don't think I fully understand all the uses for DR in the board. It makes sense to use it as a reset button to get a fresh 7 from Discard and mulligans tearing the hand apart. How often is...
