That would be the metagame I am talking about. TA is such a difficult match that I think ignorant bliss is probably the best option. I don't think its about play style when we talk about one deck. I...

For those that might be interested, I think this is the correct s/b for the meta game.

1 Karakas
4 Abrupt Decay
1 Dread of Night
1 Massacre
3 Xantid Swarm
1 Grim Tutor

I was thinking defense grid cost three mana, but it is only two. Against miracles it is probably good, but I think the storm hate is a little over the top anymore. I played in a tournament and went...

While it is probably technically not wrong to play defense grid I can see some problems with it. You run the risk of not being able to cast infernal tutor in certain situations if it still in your...

I was already playing with two Preordains. I have been for quite a while. Normally I really do not like Mox Diamond, but the metagame is making it work out well for me. If the meta goes back to less...

I think preordain is the dead give away someone is on storm. I am only running two (not for that reason). Vault and Mox Diamond have replaced them. I have found it is fairly easy to throw your...

I forgot that reanimator boards in two more show and tells, so I got rid of the s/b grave hate, and put back in two dark confidants. I've been using mox diamond, and I am pretty satisfied with it.

Here is what my s/b looks like at the moment.

I do not play TES, so that is just speculation. I play on magic workstation, so I do not know if they just know what I am going to play and decide to play four spell pierces plus every other counter...

I'm having the same thoughts you are about speed and TES. When I saw your list top 8 I started testing with it, and the additional discard was spot on. I have been trying all types of main deck and...

The force of wills were good in some games, but it is not consistent enough. After that I tried a burning wish package, and that wasn't doing it either. The really tough matches are MUD and Team...

I should probably include the s/b too.

I played ANT against Team America and the new versions of Death and Taxes, and I just felt like it was meaningless to play. I felt ANT needed restructured, and what I ended up with was what you guys...

My original comment was towards what I thought was someone who wasn't able to find success with Ad Nauseum. I do not think one version is better than another, but I play with Ad Nauseum and one...

That list is definitely alright to play. I was thinking that the other player was relying on past in flames alone. Personally I prefer one tendrils main and no etw, but I do not deny that lists using...

I don't know why everything turns into an immediate argument in forums. I normally do not go back and read very far unless I know something has changed. It has been years since I have heard of anyone...

I think you drew that conclusion on your own. I was telling the other person that to begin to understand the interactions and lines of play I put my other decks down, and I only played ANT for two...

Ad Nauseum definitely belongs in the main deck. The key to ANT is playing it over and over, and then just keep playing it because you will discover lines of play you did not know about. Play style...

Ad Nauseum probably accounts for 60% of my wins at least. I would think it would be really difficult to win matches without it in the main deck.

Burning Wish is about the only card I would consider adding to Ant's main 60. The reason I started using Grim Tutor in its place is because Grim Tutor ends up winning more games than Burning Wish can...

Spirit of the Labrynth is probably going to cause much more trouble for delver decks. It is probably going to make dark depths a better deck because its more difficult matches can be defeated by...
