One of the hazards of playing combo is that people HATE losing to combo a LOT and will sometimes oversideboard against us, just so they don't lose to combo. We had one guy at a card shop who played...

While I can't say I ever really LIKED the pyroblast plan (Sitting there with an infernal tutor, two leds and a pyroblast, staring at an opponent with the I-have-a-force-smile on his face is...

At least part of that is the nature of the deck. Most of the other storm decks (and I've only played Rev314, but I think this is applicable to other versions as well) run more cantrips...

Okay, this is why I love source. I've never once considered this, and I've comboed off through Ad Nauseum LOTS of times. Thanks for the help.

As to floating mana. If possible (and I have no...

Play against a "Burn" goldfish. Every turn, you lose three life for each mountain they've (three on the first turn, six after their second turn, nine after their third turn). This STRONGLY...

I ran watery grave in UWb Landstill for a long time, and the life was never relevent. But HERE, it is. Run a rainbow land instead, or another fetch. Two life can be the difference between a...

I run them both. Sometimes you need one, sometimes the other.

Against any deck playing Ethersworn Canonist (or, I suppose, Leonin Arbiter) if they have a plains, It costs 1R to kill them (just the cost of the burning wish) and not 2RR (burning wish + pyroclasm).

We're all rooting for you.

I'm a little less blase about this. More hate is more hate, and it's one more thing I have to consider when building my sideboard. I don't know about you, but my sideboard is already a little...

I also play TES. My list is a little old--I'm still playing 11 lands with mana monkeys, and I have two more rainbow lands instead of the U. Seas, because I don't have them--but I pulled second in a...

TES is solidly four colors; it's what defines TES as different from other ad nauseum storm decks. Cutting down to three colors is an option, but then you have to decide whether you want red (for...

How about Personal tutor? Okay, we lose a BUNCH of things, most that you:

Can't go for dark ritual
Can't go for silence
Can't go for Ad Nauseum (Ouch).

BUT

You can go for Infernal Tutor,...

Those are good ideas, thanks. I'll let you know how it goes.

Before we get away from the Spell Pierce discussion, I've been having trouble with decks that are packing 4 duress and 4 thoughtseize. If I don't go off turn 1, he looks at my hands, sees if I'm...

So, no one in my meta plays black storm, at all. I decide to trade for all the individual pieces (I already have Dredge, so I had the leds) and sleeve up the deck. (I should stipulate that I'm...
