Because "competent" Threshold players know that Stifle has been worthless vs. TES since Ad Nauseam was printed and should thank God they can at least target a fetchland manabase with it.

Unless you're using Hull Breach to remove artifacts as well, Simplify is just better.

It depends on the deck in question, when you're playing against NO RUG they're never really holding more than Force of Will and/or Vendilion Clique, since Spell Snare and Spell Pierce are non...

IMO, the problem with Orim's Chant is that it doesn't address Vendilion Clique, which has become either the primary or secondary disruption in a lot of Tier 1 decks like NO RUG and Stoneforge.dec...

What do you not understand about Diminishing Returns being the only cost efficient, Burning Wish enabled Storm engine available? Provided you know how much and which mana to float, Diminishing...

If IGG isn't pulling it's weight, then I'd rather cut IGG than Diminishing Returns because it's a redundant Storm engine but I still find the Infernal -> Wish -> IGG loop to be a pretty assured win...

The deck doesn't have a really high utility value for SB cards, you can always cut a REB etc. for one more wish target, but trading one bomb for another bomb is a bad idea because its the versatility...

You don't cut either Ill Gotten Gains or Diminishing Returns for Past in Flames, you just add Past in Flames to the SB and that's that because it's a mid-game option vs. aggro-control that's only...

That's not a reason, while decreasing Infernal Tutor decreases the utility of Lion's Eye Diamond, increasing Ad Nauseam increases the utility of all non Lion's Eye Diamond acceleration as well as...

Defense Grid seems really solid, if for no other reason it's immune to Mental Misstep and it forces them to play Vendilion Clique pre-emptively on their turn.

As an aside, did somebody do the math...

If you cut the Tendrils of Agony for Grape Shot could you consistently kill with it? Storm 20 seems like a stretch without Burning Wish shenanigans.

The Silence either baits Force of Will, RFGing Vendilion Clique or it forces the opponent to cast Vendilion Clique now instead of sandbagging Vendilion Clique vs. my acceleration and waiting to...

Do any of you find Duress to be losing you games in place of Thought Seize or Silence? In a Stoneblade, NO Rug and BANT metagame, 3xMD Vendilion Clique and turn one acceleration into turn two...

Granted, on a side note Grand Abolisher is better against Counterbalance if you can resolve it pre-emptively or if it resolves thru' a non 2cc flip.

It's worse than Vexing Shusher, and we don't even play Vexing Susher, because it's countered by every Daze and Spell Snare Vexing Susher otherwise ignores.

So in order to keep a hand in TES, the hand must have either Ponder + Cantrip or at least 1 threat? If that's true, is running the 4/4/1 of IT/Wish/Nauseam enough to ensure the minimal number of...

I meant Cursecatcher, if he drops Aeither Vial instead of Cursecatcher it's a win for us.

Fetchland -> Ponder > Gemstone Mine -> Ponder, it saves the counter on Gemstone Mine and doesn't reveal what deck you're playing vs. unknown, controlling the information is probably more valuable...
