I love me some Doomsday, TES, Armageddon Stax, Solidarity and It's The Fear. (It's possible that I'm that guy.)

Awesome. I'll check out Card Kingdom and Green Lake Games. Do you play in the area?
Sorry for necroing the thread, but I just moved to Seattle (right by UW) and I'm looking for a place to play some legacy. Honestly, I'm looking for a place to play any magic, but a solid legacy base...
Oh man, I bought NLS online back in June 2010. Two weeks later they banned mystical tutor, so I got annoyed and didn't play for a long time. I finally bought the few more cards I needed for TES and...
The Emrakul plan probably isn't best suited to matches like affinity. It's really meant for blue decks like counterbalance or snapblade that have good answers to the storm plan, but not so much...
I play a lot of TES and Doomsday. I'd agree with everyone else that Ethersworn Canonist and V. Clique are by far the most dangerous. Clique is slower, but can be devastating if you get caught with...
Ooh, that's classy. I like it much better than my method (I was a little slow with my edit, so in case you didn't see it it's in the last post).
I also verified with my method that sum from...
That's an excellent point. I cheated. The problem is that compositions don't count 0+4+2 and 4+2+0 separately. That means I undercounted by quite a bit. I'll think about it some more and see if I...
What you're looking for are compositions of 60 (basically ordered sums). To make things easier to write out, let's pretend you only have a 6 card deck, instead of 60. In addition, let's say you...
I was really bored tonight, so I wrote up an analysis of a quick game (well, goldfish) for a local forum. None of it should be particularly revealing to anyone who already knows the deck, but I...
Oh man, my friend made a Channel-Mirror deck like that a while ago. It was so much fun! I goldfished one game for roughly 45 minutes. Once it gets going, you can use memory jar (and force in his...
I've used that chrome mox, LED trick a couple times in testing, but I don't think it's come up in a tournament. It's pretty useful for pushing your Ad Nauseam through a spell pierce/cursecatcher.
I've been using that exact manabase for a while now, and I haven't had any issues with it. The basic swamp may be a crutch in the tempo matches (I don't think so, but I haven't practiced the match...
I mostly agree with admiral and jeff on the hands. 9 is a clear mull, a couple of the others are mediocre but keepable (1 and 6 in particular), the rest are solid. 3 is particularly awesome.

Probably the other guy. I wasn't playing in the side event (I scrubbed out of standard 10 minutes too late), but the 3C TES deck beside you was mine. I sat down in time to watch John draw pretty...
Congratulations! Excellent job with an awesome deck. I was actually sitting beside you guys at the end of the legacy side event on Saturday and was really impressed with both of your play. I...
After much waffling back and forth, I decided to run Doomsday in LA. The other deck under serious consideration was TES, and I also toyed with the idea of joining the Arizona Burn project. (For...
Pretty much the only time I do it is if I'll have exactly enough mana to go off next turn and therefore won't be able to play chant on the turn I go off. Otherwise, it seems unwise.
I don't pretend to be an amazing TES player, but I'll give my thoughts on the subject.
It depends on context. If I've seen your hand recently and you haven't had too many draws to find a...
Am I blind, or are the tournament reports missing?
Also, awesome videos. I wish every tournament came with these.
Congrats on the win. It's always good to see storm beat so many force of wills.
What did your sideboard look like? Was it Bryant's minus a pyroblast?
Well I guess we actually agreed, then. That'll teach me to read more carefully.
@Cthuloo: I don't see any particular reason for the distribution of play skill to be normal. If anything, I'd...
That's a little ridiculous. For one thing, "statistical law" doesn't mean your answer will never change drastically, it means your answer will probably not change drastically (for some value of...
Congratulations, Alex! We were watching your feature match at PCP. (Bob Yu linked to it in his report, in case you were still wondering where to find it.) One thing I did notice was that you...
I hate to get stuck on a particular point, but remember that lodestone golem only works on nonartifact spells. Admittedly, I haven't tested the deck, so I don't know how tight the mana requirements...
