I don't really like Dark Confidant at all. Other business spells are usually much better.

In more entertaining news (well, at least I hope so), I recorded a league with this oldschool Grinding...

Or you play in a way that does not need to go all-in on one card. Not that I'm saying that Grid's effect is as good as Swarm's, it clearly isn't, but it's still a strong effect. And keeping up 3-4 is...

For what it's worth, you can still play Defense Grid then. I didn't get to try it myself yet, but I've been told it's decent.

I recently got back into producing content again, my first league run with Storm is live now: Complete Storm League Playlist — #thedailywars #8-12

I definitely plan on recording another League...

Basically, Daze is almost always the better card here. And Miracles is not a reason to maindeck Decay, that matchup is very favourable before sideboarding anyway.

It's the same as if they Surgical Infernal with the other line, only you have Past in Flames in your deck still. Drawing Ad Nauseam off Probe here is significantly better though. It's all very close,...

Two black mana.

Just randomly noticed that I think casting Infernal in the first scenario is wrong. Think I prefer Past in Flames, crack LED for BBB.

Can you even beat Surgical if you go with Ad Nauseam? You theoretically can, it just requires a combination of a bunch of cards that I'm too lazy to go through right now (sorta interesting though).
...

Then you can cast Ponders for discard/Tendrils instead of Empty, which is still somewhat alright.

In all seriousness, all our options are really bad here, so "it's not great" isn't exactly a...

Probe into Petal also wins because you can CRit -> Infernal -> LED -> Empty. Probe Probe into black spell + Petal also works. Basically puts you in the same position as Past in Flames floating U.
...

So Ad Nauseam is not an option. Even without the opponent having Surgical (and you not having Past in Flames in graveyard obv) this would be highly unlikely to lead to victory.

The only real...

Scratch everything I said, thought we had one more mana hahaha

Get LED, float B, cast Past in Flames. Opponent casts Surgical on anything but Infernal, they're dead. If they take Infernal, I'm content with 2 Probe, 2 Ponder, BBBBBB and U. If they don't Surgical,...

Full explanation, think this covers all combinations of cards.


1) Opponent has Infernal + discard.

You lose if you cast Snare and win if you don't. Note that it's not unlikely they play this...

Ah, just realised I forgot to put "If you Snare" there. Gonna go and edit that.



That's where we disagree. I don't think you need to kill them next turn, I'm fine untapping and playing Top.

Honestly this is irrelevant. They are super dead if you get to untap anyway.

Past in Flames next turn is not a consideration, you have Mentor, Snapcaster and a Monk with Top, they're dead if you Snare and they don't kill you.



No, if you Snare Storm is already six.
...

You also win here if you don't Snare.



Agree this is highly unlikely.



They are only one mana short of double Past in Flames if you Snare. Not too unlikely they have something.

If the opponent has Past in Flames plus land, discard, ritual, Infernal or Tendrils, you can't win. If you Snare Cabal Ritual and they have Tendrils plus cantrip into any spell, you're also dead....

Ad Nauseams with double Petition are much more consistently in the 10-12 life range. When you don't have Petition in the deck, you get wins in the 7 life range more often, but you also go up to 17-18...

Anyone willing to update the primer to include information such as this? Would be great to have a FAQ section.

Dark Petition makes your Ad Nauseams way more consistent and they average out lower.

There really is no escape. I thought this was a safe zone!

Against many decks you only want them after sideboarding though. (Also, I did that a while back and it wasn't great. I don't think it's possible to make reasonable cuts to include Decay without...
