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

    I've been doing -1 Infernal, -1 Chrome Mox, -2 Ponder for 2 Confidants and 2 bounce spells against lists with Innocent Blood. I don't board them in against lists with plow, usually, but most of the...

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

    I don't mind you disagreeing, but there's really no need to be a dick about it. I totally agree that the matchup isn't hard and that not a lot of help is needed, but it's been my experience that Dark...

    This is true... maybe it's possible that some of the new duals could be put to use?

    Re: [SCD] Aven Mindcensor

    I'm much more intrigued by Leonin Arbiter than I am by Aven Mindcensor. The fact that Mindcensor costs 3 makes it a little too slow against Survival, especially on the draw - unless you're playing...

    No shit it's been done since Iggy Pop. And of course TES can do it as well - I just made the comment because its much easier for lists with Cabal Ritual to perform it than Rite of Flame.

    This sounds like the start of an infomercial advertising your own version of storm using Cabal Ritual and Grim Tutors.

    Re: [Deck] ANT (Ad Nauseam Tendrils)

    Yeah, I'd say this deck uses Ad Nauseam a little differently than something like TES. TES isn't afraid to go off with 0 mana and 0 land drops remaining as it can usually find a Mox or Petal and...
  8. Re: [Premium Article] City of Brass - When is a card not a card?

    Re: [Deck] Fetchland Tendrils

    Wouldn't Pithing Needle be better? With Pithing Needle, you don't need two lands in play to activate Shelldock and keep Stifle open. I'd also much rather naturally draw the needle than Stifle.

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

    In those matchups, we need to draw into enough Duress effects in order to win usually. Bob is going to help us do that faster than they can draw into more counters while also ensuring we're able to...

    This amused me. Probably because I've won far too many games against opponents who mulliganed aggressively for Leyline this way.

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

    If you're using Bryant's list, I would consider a Tundra instead of a City to hit white much more consistently. I don't really like City in such a color hungry deck as this one. A Tundra should also...

    On that topic, how the heck do those LED lists with only 12 lands expect to be able to cast Putrid Imp consistently off of only 8 black sources? There's only about a 2/3 chance you see one of those...
  15. Re: [Discussion]TES...a real replacement for ANT?

    The latest SCG Open had an ANT list in the top 16. Albeit with an... unconventional sideboard. It also seems very short on tutors.

    I saw your list on Morphling earlier. I happen to be a fan of maindeck Iggy as well (though I disagree with removing Infernal) - it just cements the matchup against aggro so much and it isn't half...

    Yeah, I'll do that too. They often don't counter the Burning Wish when we don't have mana for whatever reason, thinking we're just going to get Thoughtseize. EtW can usually outrace them - Pyroblast...

    Pyrostatic Pillar is mainly there for the storm matchup, I believe, where the damage you do to yourself is probably insignificant as long as you stay at a higher life total than them. I'm not sure if...

    If you happen to own a Tundra, you might consider that as well as it might be better than the third city. Some people even prefer it over the second city.
