    Re: [Deck] Fetchland Tendrils

    1) Consistency and robustness mostly. Ad Nauseam remains random and requires plenty of life, Doomsday kills are deterministic and can be performed from as little as 2 life. Ad Nauseam also emposes...

    Re: emidln's tendrils lists

    If you weren't playing Infernal Contract in the sideboard but Act on Impulse or Edge of Autumn instead, there would have been more options.



    I think the main reason is that you can't really use...

    Re: [Deck] Fetchland Tendrils

    Nah, this thread started in 2007, the deck has changed quite dramatically quite a few times since then. Sure the banning of SDT has had a lot of impact on how the deck plays. But I'd like to argue...

    Re: [Deck] Fetchland Tendrils

    I disagree with this, you are oversimplifying things by a very large margin. Most ANT lists play 4 Brainstorm 4 Ponder 4 Gitaxian Probe and 3 (sometimes 4) slots of some combination of Preordain and...

    I've been playing Doomsday for a very long time and reading false statements about the deck like these over and over again is quite annoying. (I have to say, the only reason that I bother to respond...

    Thanks for writing up the report! It's very cool to read about someone playing Doomsday at such a big tournament. I think you actually did very well! Too bad you lost against Dredge and ANT those are...

    Re: [Deck] Fetchland Tendrils

    Yes having blue is very important. You don't want too many lands that don't produce blue mana. Bayou is probably fine if you aren't running Badlands already. The thing is, you don't want to draw your...

    Re: [Deck] Fetchland Tendrils

    Your question is a bit unclear, do you want this only for game 1 or would you want to add Thought Scour and Unearth as sideboard cards to deal with Snares? It is of course a trade-off between being...

    Re: [Deck] Fetchland Tendrils

    I'm looking into Lab Man piles now, but what I don't get is how exactly does Chromatic Sphere protect you from removal in a pass the turn pile for 2UU?

    I get that the draw is part of the mana...

    Re: [Deck] Fetchland Tendrils

    Perhaps I should just try Lab Man out, but the fear of drawing a dead card or losing to removal on lab man is still a bit heavy on me. Is there an overview of lab man piles anywhere?

    Re: [Deck] Fetchland Tendrils

    I haven't played with Lab Man myself, but I suppose you could just swap the Chain of Vapor with a Lab Man in the main (and if that's required swap a petal for a chromatic sphere). I'm more a fan of...

    Hi Troll Slayer, Thanks for your report.

    I think he means Diminishing Returns. DR means either that or Dark Ritual in the context of storm combo decks, not Dread Return.

    You can still use Ill-Gotten Gains as a wish target in UBrw Doomsday and get similar IGG-loops like you have in TES, at least that's what I'm doing.

    The key idea here is that IGG is a complement...

    Laboratory Maniac's ability is a replacement effect not a triggered ability. Triggered abilities are written as "[Trigger condition], [effect]," and begin with the word "when," "whenever," or "at."

    I agree with tangram here. Either you forgot to mention something or there is simply no way you can draw into your pile and make enough storm.
