I should probably playtest Cloud of Faeries, and I probably will. But honestly, I'd be more inclined to go 2x Snap main before playing Cloud of Faeries. In my meta, Snap should almost always have a...

I have the 4th Tarn in the mail; I plan on getting two more fetches when I have the fundz. But besides the obvious stuff, how can I improve my aggro match-up? Does Retraced Image or Cloud of Faeries...
I'm new to high tide, but I've been playing storm for awhile now. My local meta has a lot of creature based strategies--Zoo, U/R Delver, RDW, ect. Do you guys have any suggestions for improving my 75...
I agree with you here.
That's the problem, though; people will ALWAYS be playing decks with Force of Will. This deck will never make it out of the developmental stages if it always folds to...
Your win condition looks test worthy.
I did test the Living Wish version--I guess I could have mentioned this in my first post. In my testing, Living Wish did an amazing job of increasing...
After some intensive play-testing, with the wish-less version, the Rogue Hermit's strengths and weaknesses are becoming very apparent.
Pros:
Speed - a self-contained combo for 4cc in...
Hello everyone!
I've been playing T.E.S for awhile now, but I'm relatively new to belcher. So, I was hoping you could answer a question or two I have concerning sideboarding.
Main:
4 Elvish...
I think Pox's biggest problem is sustainability. The deck has raw power, in the sense that it can get any deck into top-deck mode, but then what? Cursed Scroll locks out a lot of aggro-based decks,...
Seems good against Merfolk too... But, Miracles, and to a lesser extent Esper-blade, is what I'm out to beat, atm anyways.
Also, Nether Void seems REALLY good in this build. Maybe consider +1/2 in the side, or even an additional copy in the main?!
Recommendation: I'd cut Sheltered Valley, Tombstalker/Spinning Darkness, and one or two fetches for +1 Urborg and +2/3 swamps.
Explanation: Control-based Pox runs 12-13 swamps (Bojuka Bog/Cabal...
I loathe Chalice with all of my being...

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, I've only used Grapeshot once in the 6+ months I've been playing T.E.S. (EtW would have been enough anyway). I'm going to test a Chant or something to...
I played four Silence at StarCity St.Louis. Never saw a single Meddling Mage or Surgical Extraction. I did see Leyline of Sanctity, twice. Silence definitely shined in that matchup.
On a different...
I'm contemplating cutting Pif or Grapeshot for the third IoK... After seeing merfolk, I'm back on board with Bryant's side. But, IoK was such an all-star; I can't get myself to just run two copies....
I went 4-2-2 this weekend. I saw merfolk, RUG, maverick, boros, 2x stone-blade, and two mirror matches: both losses were to stone-blade... IoK and EtW really shined, though. IoK pretty much went in...
Haven't commented on here in a few... but I'll be at the SCG STL tourney this weekend. I'll probably be running Bryant's main list (-1 probe, +1 Ad Naus.) with a pretty basic side. Something like 3...
Good point. TES doesn't have that luxury, obviously. :rolleyes:..
Did you just agree with me? I honestly can't tell. *laughs* As, this is exactly what I posted (reworded of course).
By all means, if you can win turn one, do it! But, I don't think I'm as lucky...
Chant-effects aren't "shit". It's just fact that other colors have proven more relevant or powerful for ANT (red does more). Like I said in an earlier post, I run TES, which makes great use out of...
I feel like TES beats Maverick better than Ant, which is why TES is currently doing so well. Burning Wish, in addition to discard and bounce, allows you to reliably answer hate. Though, it looks like...
Show and Tell and Spiral Tide are both interesting match-ups (they're very similar in my opinion). They generally take on the control role while we hold true to combo. But, because both pilots are...
I think taking a mulligan would be the correct play. Though, I'm guilty of keeping on occasion too. What about...
Brainstorm, Ponder, Chrome Mox, Dark Ritual, Lion's Eye Diamond, Infernal Tutor,...
Well, we hardly ever leave our chant effects in against non-blue match-ups (Dredge being the exception? :p). As, Inquisition (and bounce) tends to be more useful in those match-ups (hits Pillar,...
What do you guys side against burn? I was thinking +2 Echoing Truth and +4 IoK for -3 Orim's Chant, -2 Silence, and -1 Ponder. This seems correct against the average burn deck packing Pyrostatic...
