    Yes it was obvious, but I thought maybe you'd feel left out if I didn't quote you.

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

    Common guys. It was just a joke referencing Bryant's tournament report from last year (http://www.starcitygames.com/article/26497_Leaving-A-Legacy-Storming-To-Worchester.html) I thought that was the...

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

    I agree. A subtle, yet defining, difference between the two decks is in rite of flame versus cabal ritual. We just have to wait for an uber secondary ritual to be printed so that both decks can adopt...

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

    As a disclaimer, I have personally never had problems with shuffle effects with this deck.

    The move is in response to dropping a color. I get that, but I would contend that it is a move towards a...

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

    Prior to the drop of the Chrome Mox, Bryant was adamant that there be 4 Chrome Moxen. The inclusion of Gitaxian Probe soften that stance, but none the less, the move is clearly in the direction of...

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

    I think the difference dates back to before main decking EtW. The fact that Cabal Ritual needs Threshold, cutting of artifact mana (chrome mox) for lands and the lack of Tutors (half) all together...

    Quoted for truth. The people I play test with love floating FOW, Flusterstore or Mindbreak Trap on the top 3. This is pretty annoying to play against as they sit there and wait for their Sensei's...

    Thank goodness. Consistency is what makes this deck appealing. The only big changes come in the SB. It is interesting how people are willing to jump on board with Bryant's changes. Not many post...

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

    'How to cantrip' is by far the most important skill people need to learn to master this deck, so fetchlands into a relevant land is super important here. If the shocklands are here for the sake of...

    Depends on how competitive you are. If you are just playing with friends, then it doesn't really matter. You can run 2 Volcanic Islands or shock lands. I would also like to point you to the OP where...

    I think also the type of mana floating is also relevant here. Some choices are just worse than others. I think there has been calculations done on amount of mana available, but that was for an older...

    If you have D&T in your metagame, is it safe to look into playing Massacre in the SB like ANT? What would be the card to be cut for the Massacre?

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

    This is a good point, but this is also the reason why I play DR as late as possible so I do not draw the lands that will lock me out of IT. My main plan in this Burn match up will always begin with...

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

    I think you are misunderstanding me. I never plan to DR into ETW, but Infernal Tutor with ETW main sometimes leave you with no other options (ie, when you have only 6 mana). This is an argument for...

    Yes, but what is more likely, having 2 Burning Wish or having a Burning Wish and an Infernal Tutor? If you didn't know, it was a rhetorical question. Either way, if you have Burning Wish, you have...

    I don't understand. I would board in Tendrils of Agony, so I wouldn't need Burning Wish into Tendrils. I don't think boarding in IGG will have the same effect as boarding in Tendrils, as I have...

    Another benefit of sideboarding in Tendrils for Empty the Warren is that you can win through Pyrostatic Pillar without killing yourself or bouncing the Pillar. If you don't play Tendrils in the...

    They play Goblin Guide, Grim Lavamancer, and Keldon Maurauder. Any combination of those will stop 10 goblins turn 2.

    MBT and Chalice have the equal likeliness as they are both very narrow cards...

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

    Burn doesn't auto scoop to Etw > 4 storm count. You'd have to do this turn 1 for it to be anywhere near effective. Chances of that isn't likely either. The speed is necessary to kill with IGG...
