[Deck] ANT (Ad Nauseam Tendrils) Storm Combo

[meffeo]

Thanks, the duals are altered Unlimited though...



Thanks, damn I'm still missing on jap foil CoV =/ also the Alpha Bolts have risen in price a bit, I'll never finish the set...

Nonetheless, it's a sick deck, Martin. Wonderful.

Haven't played Magic in months because of work/job/etc, but probably getting back into some Legacy now. Thanks to nevilshute for those videos, very nice to watch while I do some work!

Heyo Wilson, glad to see you are still alive! I hope to keep making videos in the coming weeks/months if time/energy allows for it On that note, what are the chances of some more podcast episodes? Is that completely dead now?

I think I'm going to be heading back to my old 3 storm / 2 past in flames build with Ad Nauseam in the sideboard. It's been fun casting main deck Ad Naseaums but nothing has really changed my overall view on the card's place in the deck, the way I play it anyway. I have a great deal of respect for the results Caleb Scherer has been putting up but I guess it comes down to playstyle and temperament as well.

Hey man, the plan is to start back on the podcast this semester. We are also thinking about streaming some Storm with commentary, just downloaded some streaming software. We were bummed about not being able to do much last semester, but Paul's first semester in medical school coupled my work/family commitments made it really hard to find mutual time to do it. Thanks a ton for the videos, enjoyed listening to/watching them yesterday while I worked!

Edit: By the way, has anyone tried doing Google hangouts as a method for discussing Legacy/Storm? We were thinking of trying this so that we could do a live interactive show where people can comment during the discussion. We would also record and post it. Just exploring different options for producing Legacy content.

hangouts - no idea, never used it

Mind explaining what that is? #kiblergoogle

[Julian23]

Google Hangouts is basically a cloud version of Skype video chat.

[Patrunkenphat7]

Mind explaining what that is? #kiblergoogle

Basically the idea would be to stream a 3-way video call live with Phil, Paul, and me (Brainstorm Show cast) so that people can comment while we discuss various topics. We would record and then post the "show" so that anyone can watch after the fact.

Pros:
-Interactive
-Fluid
-Visual makes things more entertaining

Cons:
-Not as streamlined as a planned-out podcast episode
-More difficult to figure out because we've never done it
-Would basically be a complicated podcast episode if no one tuned in live or got involved in the chat

Isn't it possible to just ask questions beforehand? I think a Storm FAQ would be great anyway, and it might also be helpful to do it periodically to keep up with current metagame evolutions.

Yeah for sure. We have done Q&A podcast episodes before which is certainly a fun option. For reference here is the Storm episode we did last year: http://www.thebrainstormshow.com/pod...-tendrils-ant/.

I was watching a Google Hangouts episode of a group of miniatures gamers which is where I got the idea. It's basically like streaming meets podcasting - we would be streaming a group discussion with an active chat and then later post the episode on YouTube or our website for people to view if they want to. This is just a thought for down the road if people think it would be fun or interesting. I talked to the guys this morning, and we are planning to record a podcast episode on Thursday night to hopefully get back into the groove (means the episode would probably be posted this weekend). I miss talking about Legacy and especially Storm!

hello i'm new player of storm and i have some questions for sideboard plans , i play strict maindeck and sideboard of Caleb scherer

what do you think ? , i wait your responses , thanks :)

first of all just delete the Sylvan library from your decklist, please... then:

Burn
+3AD +2CoV +EtW +Trop, +CT, +ToA,
-Island, -CR, -RoF, -LP, -GP, -1 Preordain, -Ad Nauseam ,-2 Duress

dropping discard means you're always in a reactive position and always shock yourself in front of Eidolon/Pillar, so I'd leave 4CT for sure... AD might not even have a target whole game, also Disfigure vs. Pillar, not good... discard usually buys you a turn at least

Miracles
unclear, I'd agree with what is at your disposal +EtW, the Library might be actualy ok, but come on, I also don't lie XS but there is not much space for improvising... you can have a fast or more grindy setup... I'd leave all LP all Tutors, or SB out AN and all LP and won't ever go under 3CR

D+T
+2 Disfigure +2CoV +CT +EtW
-3Duress -CR -GP -Preordain

[mechint]

thanks for you response , i'm not sure for miracles , miracles play rest in peace after side and cabal ritual is not good versus rip :/

and versus tempo ( ***** , team america , grixis ... )
-2 preordain
-1 ad nauseam
-2 dark petition
-1 island
-1 rains of fliths for
+ 2 swarm
+1 cabal therapy
+1 trop

Elves
-2 preordain
+ 2 chain

Shardless
-2 preodain
-1 dp
-1 petal
-1 cabal ritual
+2 chain
+1 etw
+2 disfigure




thank you for your patience, but I find it very hard sider with the deck :)

Dear Stormriders

Please tell me do you SBin flusterstorms vs Elves? I've found it useful in early game to protect my hand and counter fast order. But it is a dead card for rest of the deck except 17 cards. Dead draw in middle-lategame

I just played my first (casual) matchup against Elves the other day. I lost both games, but game 1 I made a bit of a stupid call and went for EtW instead of Ad Nauseam. Lesson learned. It's a poor excuse, but I was a bit rusty after about a week of nofuntimes. (I'm counting the prerelease, in which I managed to pull THREE KOR KNIGHTS, AN ELDRAZI DO-NOTHING, AND A HEDRON ALIGNMENT. Thanks, Obama. At least I went 3-1 in Sealed.)

What about Sudden Shock? Seems like it gets around most of Wirewood Symbiote's shenanigans, but it feels too narrow to use in multiples. Any other thoughts? What about Mindbreak Trap? I'm curious about this matchup.

[nevilshute]

Empty always comes out vs Elves for me. It's an unsustainable route most of the time.

I don't bring in countermagic vs elves

true, G1 is hard to win with EtW, G2 might be because their deck is diluted with discard but I'd stick to better Ad Nauseam ... I board in Ad Nauseam and +/- 2-3 bounce/sweeper/AD

Sudden shock? - never played it, but should be better than disfigure if you have 2R duals, I wouldn't care about Elves specifically while building a SB

thanks for you response , i'm not sure for miracles , miracles play rest in peace after side and cabal ritual is not good versus rip :/

thank you for your patience, but I find it very hard sider with the deck :)

there is usualy only 0-2 Rip

Tempo - ok, but XS is not good vs discard, where AN might be decent and the 2nd Island is probably there because of such decks so I'd go up a land

Elves - I'd add disfigure

Shardless +/- ok, depends if they splash W, I'd leave 4 LP, EtW might (not) be good I'd play it onplay or G3

- note that there is no general guide (unless Caleb has some), your own experience and critical view on your game is your best guide... I haven't created the list, I wouldn't play it, just writing down what I'd do if I were you

There was a doomsday google hangout like 2 years ago I want to say?

was enjoyable

Oh cool! Any idea if this was recorded and posted somewhere?

And to add to the above comments - I board out Empty vs Elves.

[thefringthing]

Because Elves seems to be playing Ruric Thar over Gaddock Teeg lately, maybe Deathmark is better than Disfigure?
