What the fuck?

You can exchange chalice with being on the draw and seeing some other lock piece (counterbalance and thalia are both pretty prevalent). In any of these cases, you now know that your chances of having...

In the dark I think it's better to fire off your first Probe ASAP since the chance that you see something like Ancient Tomb + Chalice, draw into a Therapy to take your opponent's Deathrite to make...

Text me this weekend and I can stream and Skype you in.

One thing that isn't immediately obvious is that having more mana in the deck means you can afford to Wish for disruption more, which I did notice myself doing more frequently on Saturday.

I find solace in having the best sleeves and hat combo in the room.

In all serious, the decline of Thalia and Leyline of Sanctity, in addition with the rise of BUG Delver, make ANT a really strong...

Pyroclasm is really bad if they have a Mother of Runes.

Hyperbole (and accuracy) aside, so what? The storm variants have enough similar cards that it's pretty easy to switch between the two of them, even for the cult members such as myself who decided to...

That's not necessarily the case, as the primary Hymn deck at the moment is more well suited to stopping you from going off in the first two turns than Jund or Shardless ever was.

2-2. Any hand that has 2+ cantrips you want to fetch a turn 1 Volc, cantrip with the mana, cantrip again t2, then use a second land for discard (ideally). If they waste your Volc, you want another...

Hand 1:
On the play this hand is pretty bad, if I had another blue card to imprint so I can ponder and keep a mana source I'd probably keep it though. That said, on the draw you basically only have...

The second Volc has been great, I think one time I've had a problem with it not making black mana, but other than that it's all upside. You are really required to play a Trop if you cut Cities...

It always drives me insane when people ask these questions without saying their lands in play and the rest of the relevant info. If you have 100 lands in play, you attack him, wish for Tendrils, and...

I'm not planning on writing one, there weren't very many situations that arose and are worthy of discussing.
The only really interesting moments for me I can describe briefly though.
In game 2 of...

I'm not really interested in arguing with your point, but assuming something is correct because it works in a different context is really very wrong. A good example of this is why Dark Confidant is a...

I played 1 Duress 3 Therapy 3 Silence main, sideboard 2 Chain of Vapor 3 Xantid 1 Therapy 1 Inquisition 3 Decay along with the usual PiF, Returns, Tendrils, Empty, Grapeshot. I'll probably cut a...

The lack of context makes answering this question really difficult.

I think it's worse for ANT if they're playing Leyline since mulligan to Leyline + counter your chain of vapor is functionally a lock. I'm not sure how many SnT players are playing Leyline these days,...

Alright.
If your swarm is going to die, don't sideboard it in. I can't think of a deck with Golgari Charm that I would board it in against to begin with.
If they want to spend 2 mana to kill a...

Nothing really changes. Just like before, people could go insane to try to beat Empty and then lose to Tendrils. You have Probe and hand disruption to make sure that, if you're going to Empty, you're...

First, most of the time goblins give them 2 turns, and Silence can only take away one of them. Second, it's a lot easier to get a Cabal Therapy in your graveyard in a deck with a bunch of black mana...

2 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13, you cheater. next time just say you're at 5 and keep flipping.

Actually I forgot, I cast it twice. Once it got stifled and I lost. Either way, most of the decks I played against it wasn't that great against (goblins, elves, show and tell, affinity, TES, ANT)....

Yeah naturally drawing empty is so much better than just about any other card. You get so many game wins by making goblins in the first 3 turns.

Over 10 rounds at Somerset I cast AN 7 times, Returns 4 times, PiF 6 times, and Empty the Warrens once. The only matchups where my game plan revolves around resolving AN from the time I start...
