Storm faces the same problems regardless of whether or not it's ANT or it's TES, right now I think the only actual difference between ANT and TES is Cabal Ritual vs Rite of Flame and the exact number...

I'm also a fan of 3 Preordain, I think it raises the skill cap of the deck much higher than Dark Petition and from the original Prosak list I only ever cut the 4th Preordain to play grindier set ups...

I think Petition is one of those cards that newer Storm players like to play because it provides a more direct path to winning, it's kind of a Storm equivalet of training wheels until you get better...

I've found the exact opposite to be true, my highest win % vs Miracles comes from Empty the Warrens racing Terminus.

I think most of the double PIF lists run double Tendrils?

As an aside, I don't get the point of MDing Ad Nauseam for T2 wins over Empty the Warrens for T1 wins, isn't Ad Nauseam just a card you...

Do any of you guys think your Duress should just be Thoughtseize? As long as Ad Nauseam either isn't your main storm engine or in your MD, I think you're just losing games to letting Thalia resolve...

I don't run Top in my 75, but I do concede it's an awesome card vs Miracles and to a lesser extent aggro-control. I'm a bigger fan of Preordains if for no other reason they help you reach Threshold...

In D&T it's just another, slower bear, but in Miracles or Blade I think it's a bit worry some to have a Meddling Mage that can protect itself vs Abrupt Decay or Massacre.

Ah, I think the naming conventions have just become uninspiring, I'd rather go back to the period where we named all of the combo decks after breakfast cereals.

I'm not sure a 5cc card is any less clunky than a 2cc card just becuase it requires red mana, I never had an issue with the red mana for Burning Wish because I didn't expect Burning Wish to be a T2...

Depends on your strategy for dealing with graveyard or Empty the Warrens hate, if you cut Lotus Petal MD then you cut Ad Nauseam SB and you've become a more binary Storm deck. Personally, I don't...

Sure, sometimes it's awesome and other times you spend all of your mana cantripping into other cantrips, you can find older lists from 2013 with 12 cantrips and 2 Islands in the thread. I still like...

Yes I meant it, I've been experimenting with different ideas between Green Sun's Zenith, Summoner's Pact and Dryad Arbor lately in Veteran ANT and think having the utility to turn lands into...

If you need to push thru' counters I think playing the /g fetchlands and SBing a Dryad Arbor could do the trick, you rarely fetch Volcanic Island anyway.

Has anybody playing the Pre-Ordain or Lim Dul's Vault versions ever tried Impulse? I figured the dig 4 and "scry" justifies the 2 mana cost, I really dislike Grim Tutor and Burning Wish so I've been...

Biggest argument against Ad Nauseam in ANT in my mind is that you have to use Duress over Thoughtseize, having outs vs Goblins just means we need a Cabal Therapy in our graveyard while allowing a...

It doesn't seem that bad, we have Dread of Night and we can either MD or SB Thoughtseize while still being able to cast one to two cantrips before it resolves. At best, I might be less thrilled to...

Boarding in Xantid Swarm vs UWR seems terrible, it's just one more disruption spell that doesn't even address Meddling Mage or Vendillion Clique and a veritable lightning rod. I'm still running...

There's no reason the deck can't use more specific removal or bounce like Wipe Away, Echoing Truth or Shattering Spree, if you're not playing Green then you have a lot of new found SB space. Also I...

I more or less came to the same conclusion regarding Pyroblast replacing Abrupt Decay in TES at least, Counterbalance is played in one deck compared to Meddling Mage, Vendillion Clique and counter...

I don't agree with MDing AN, mainly because Thoughtseize is so much better than Duress in this metagame. You really only want AN whenever you want Xantid Swarm/Autumn's Veil, which is strictly...
