It was some rogue playing Grixis Underworld Dreams, it seems. So the criterion was probably more "your deck is good and it wins against shitpiles" than anything.

:eyebrow:

Intuitively I'd say making Goblins is likely to be really good now - DRS doesn't just block, it gains life. Most one drops, even if they're stronger in some ways are moreso strong aggressively, but...

O_o

One thing worth noting on Massacre as well that you're definitely aware of but wasn't listed in the article: Elves searching for Savannah is almost always immediately followed up by Teeg, which...

I use dice to keep track of mana and storm count. White for storm, appropriate color for mana usually.

He played ANT though. (Like hell, get the Storm decks right SCG plz http://imageshack.us/a/img443/4251/ixgr.png)

That risks getting infracted. You should know your sideboard and be able to take out the SB.

I keep my SB and my sided out cards in the deckbox, on different sides of the SB divider while I play...

I like the new list a lot. Looks much more comfortable to play a longer game if need be. IT in the board as default is lovely.

To me a start like that reads like Storm, not RUG. I don't know why, but that's what my gut tells me.

Grapeshot
Empty the Warrens
Tendrils of Agony
Past in Flames
Diminishing Returns

Thoughtseize
Massacre
Tropical Island
2x Abrupt Decay

Discard is pretty bloody good atm. ANT packs a crapton of it, 7 or so pieces including 3-4 Cabal Therapies with Probe backup. It can play the long game better partly due to stronger cantrips. It's...

Curious about how you'd play this:
Unknown opponent, G1, you're going first.

Gemstone, Ponder, LED, Ritual, Rite, Wish, Infernal.
1) Keep?
Supposing you keep, go Gemstone, Ponder.
Ponder...

Haven't you usually championed TES exactly on the back of Silence being godlike vs. combo compared to Duress effects?

If you're hesitant to pull the trigger, TES isn't your deck. In addition to being the best Goblin aggro deck in the format, TES is most definitely a gambler's deck. Saying "12-14 Goblins, go" is...

"yay, Bryant's on stream. More delicious not-Show-and-Derp action! *go brush teeth, come back to something horrible being cast* Nah, that's just Bryant killing someone, no need to watch the rest of...

Mindbreak Trap is a bad card. Please don't play it unless your meta is full of Belcher. MBT does nothing relevant but stop the Storm player from winning. You want to stop a Storm player from winning,...

ETW is insane. Dunno what format you play if you think it's bad.

And stacking Ponders properly is wildly different? Not saying TES isn't harder (though it may just be me grokking twiddly, bouncy things better than cantrip stacking), but you make it sound like...

Write a Heart of the Hoof report then? :D

I have some (not super extensive, mind you) experience playing Bryant's TES list and Grim ANT before going back to Elves again, so that may have something to do with my comfort in the match. *shrug*...

This does seem like the smart plan, and the reason I fear TES (and white Doomsday) the most out of all storm decks.

A combo-oriented plan postboard with Elves vs. other fast combo decks is wrong, and will lose you games. Expect lock pieces and discard, don't expect Glimpse. There won't be any unless the pilot is...

I like Elves' game vs. Storm postboard a lot nowadays. It might even be in Elves' advantage, but it's by no means free for either and G1 Elves are pretty free for TES. Just don't underestimate the...

TES is a bad matchup for Omnitell from what I know. Doiscard-heavy Jund or something along those lines is apparently less than desirable, too.
