5 color is just as viable. The mana bases between UBr and UBwr are very similar in terms of number of basics, non basics, and fetches. It's nearly as solid however makes fetching slightly more...

Firstly, you put a lot of effort into your posts and so you deserve to be commended for that. /clap

I'm going to address the post and likely after this I will bow out on this topic. Bottom line up...

This is the bit I disagree with the most.

BS/Ponder:
-> IU, GP, LED, LED, BW BBB+UUU (6) 8 Storm
-> IU, GP, LED, LED, ToA BBB+UUU (6) 7 Storm

GP:
-> IU, GP, LED, LED, BW BBB+UU...

You cut wish, largely in part unless I missed something, to support a creature transformation sideboard. That qualifies to me as "supporting another agenda". People tried LDV in DDFT for years and...

The issue is this increases the requirements for a winning pile. Either mana, specific cards (Top), or both are now necessary which makes other combinations not winning (less mana or other cantrips)....

I'm not aware of anyone who knows what they are doing that is.

This is the kind of deck you need to play to learn.

Most people (almost all) are still playing Burining Wish.

I haven't played with a transformation sideboard so I cant objectively comment. What you say sounds reasonable even if I don't really agree with it initially. It doesn't feel like your playing a...

Love that people are trying new things.

I'm a bit skeptical as to whether good results are sustainable and consistent. From my view this approach puts a heavy importance on winning game 1 since...

Pretty much this. Burning Wish is more mana efficient, doesn;t force you combo combo in the same turn, and has way more utility. If you feel x3 Wish x3D lacks business add the 4th Wish. I doubt...

Yes. People still play this deck.

Once you get more experience and move beyond the standard piles you'll recognize more combinations of winning cards / situations. You lose some velocity without Wish. Don't be afraid of early pass...

My thoughts
- I'm currently trying 3 DTT with the 7th discard. I'm hesitant to drop below 17 lands with only 1 petal.
- 4 decay and extra discard out of the board has been working for me.
- I am...

That list looks a lot like the older German lists that ran Infernal Tutor and Ill Gotten Gains except with Dark Petition and PiF. I'm curious how much getting the mana to cast Dark Petition is? This...

That is a fair comment. I guess the answer would be you could still try and win with Lab Maniac and use the Wish --> Contract to get the extra discard in your pile. There's no doubt the utility of...

What do you think about running a single Burning Wish in place of Tendrils. The 10th Fetch or 3rd Island could be a Volcanic. The sideboard for it could be limited to Tendrils, Contract, Discard, and...

Considering I just cut red from that manabase, I'm feeling great! The mana is totally fine.

Silence vs discard has been debated in Doomsday for a while and theres plenty of posts on the pluses /...

This is what I'm running as a start. Similar to my sketch and close to Kidbails.

Business
4x Doomsday
1x Dark Petition
1x Tendrils of Agony
1x Ideas Unbound

Cantrips
4x Brainstorm

Until people start testing it is hard to say with certainty if Dark Petition is better than Burning Wish.

A wish board is also in some ways a double edged sword since often your answers are...

This is important advice. Especially during the combo people will "tank" even though they have no play. They are looking for you to make a mistake or just can't keep up with what is happening. I...

I think you've partly answered your own question ;)

It is easy to get into a pissing contest about which storm deck is better. In my opinion DDFT is the most rewarding to learn and to play well. I...

Plains isn't always only for Silence since sometimes people opt for a package of 4 Silence & 3 Orim's Chant. Also in the past the white addition has opened the door for white cards out of the...

There has been a lot of discussion about it in the past. There is a whole thread about on Stormboards if you are interested.

Typically it is a metagame call. One package usually has an edge over...

Also if you are on the Silence/Chant plan you can buy the time you need and they have to decide whether to blow permission to enable their "combo" or protect against yours. Then you get the extra man...

That's fair. The scenario you posted was actually from my game 3 at GPNJ and in which I scouted Null Rod game 2.

I don't think I'd side in Decays against U/R Delver. Young Pyromancer can muscle...
