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

    Relax, at least it's a question in pre-season. We don't even bother asking during the real 162 since a yes is such an aberration.

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

    If you go off with a high life total, having a land over Chrome Mox doesn't matter. A huge benefit of TES over ANT is that it can safely AdN from relatively low life totals (I've had a lot of success...

    I was going to note that I've probably been playing TES off and on for longer than anyone in this thread minus Bryant, but I'll instead make it known that I haven't had a lot of time to play Magic...

    Considering it. Need to acquire a fourth Chrome Mox, but that shouldn't be an issue.

    Nobody plays Standstill anymore. Dismember comes in from the sideboard. They can't skimp anymore on their manabase. They can't skimp on their disruption. That leaves pieces of their clock. Usually an...

    Daze is pretty ridiculous in storm if you need to deal with Counterbalance, Hate Bears, or are trying to do something on low mana very early. The Aggro side of Aggro Control, Counterbalance, and...

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

    Ad Nauseam in hand wins more often than Infernal Tutor in hand. Your math is misleading for a list that replaces an IT with an AdN.

    Mox Diamond is fine if the problem you're solving is extra free...

    If I were playing something other than Doomsday at Indy, this is the list I'd run (and will be giving to two others):

    1 Tendrils of Agony
    3 Ad Nauseam
    3 Infernal Tutor
    4 Burning Wish

    Mox Diamond is an additional initial mana source. This gives you colored mana without using a land drop, an extremely critical function (generally one of two common roadblocks with Ad Naus in TES,...

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

    In my ongoing effort to make Burning Wish less of a liability, I took my standard 3c list and went:

    -1 Infernal Tutor
    -1 Thoughtseize
    +1 Ad Nauseam
    +1 Mox Diamond

    This negates the major...

    I had a theory awhile back that the "aggro-control" decks of legacy, particularly decks like Tempo Thresh and Team America, cannot beat Wall of Denial. I never seriously tested it, but I'd imagine...

    7x Duress is going to be significantly better in g1 than Chant effects against Counterbalance due to the fact that Duress is relevant at least some of the time. Further, in lists that still have the...

    It depends on the business. If it's something like Wish that can get you DReturns or Brainstorm, just keep it. You're not likely to nut into better.

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

    I didn't say I'd recommend IGG (I run 2 AdN). I just don't like ETW. Survival is at best turn 3, but even at turn 4, they have the ability to survive a medium to large ETW which gives them a chance....

    If you have 4 Xantid Swarm, 4 Thoughtseize, and 3+ Chain of Vapor in your 75 it doesn't matter if you have Preordains or Burning Wishes in your deck.

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

    Turn 2 ETW is no longer sufficient to beat Survival decks. If I wanted more cards that were only good on turn 1, ETW would be fine, but I'm often forced to play more than a single turn in a match.

    I have the longest hold times on Brainstorm of any combo player I've met. I just don't cast it unless I have a very good reason to. Randomly drawing three cards on turn 1 is almost never a good...

    Lists with more AdN will be faster than lists with fewer AdN, given that acceleration and other business (Infernal Tutor, Burning Wish) stay constant). To my knowledge, most people are still playing...

    No it doesn't. It sounds like you don't play storm very much because I've been doing that since Iggy Pop. I've done it in Iggy Pop, TES, Grim Iggy, Fetchland Tendrils, DDFT, ANT, and NLS. Just...

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

    MTGO doesn't have Pulverize. I run Meltdown and Meltdown is fine. To support Pulverize, you probably want 3 mountains since the first one sometimes gets wasted getting the Pulverize via Wish.
