    Rest in Peace is annoying, but typically ANT players prepare for facing grave hate after game 1 (often siding out 1 copy of Past in Flames and other cards that are graveyard reliant, such as Dark Petition, and in some cases 1 copy of Cabal Ritual in grindier matchups). Naming Infernal Tutor, on the other hand, makes an ANT player have to find an answer, or find Ad Nauseam/Empty the Warrens and hope to get there.
    Excellent, thanks. Very helpful insight.

    I'm glad this was short lived. Haven't played paper in so long my deck still has underworld breach. Anyone here still play ANT and have an interesting list or card inclusions to share? I've still been playing a grim tutor now with wishclaw, which I like for flexibility.

    Lurrus Storm was just dumb, like most Lurrus decks. Glad it's banned.

    I think TES is stronger than ANT right now. The popularity of Veil and Oko decks makes the protection suite of Thoughtseize+Duress worse than Veil+Grid. Graveyard decks are popular now, so there is a lot of grave hate, which weakens Cabal Ritual+PiF vs Rite of Flame+Echo of Eons.

    I don't care about this at all. Was curious about ANT decklists and card choices. I really enjoy playing ANT and would even if I wasn't satisfied with my win rate. Thankfully, I am.

    This was 5th place in the recent MTGO Legacy Challenge.
    https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=27601&d=419299&f=LE

    It borrows some tools from TES: Veil of Summer and more copies of Wishclaw Talisman, with Grids and Carpet in the SB

    Does anybody still follow this deck here?

    Just wondering if anybody has tried out the new legacy legal Unfinity card Pair-O-Dice lost?
    I dismissed it at first, but tried practicing around with it a little bit, and it has been stronger than expected as a potential supplement to (or even replacement for) Past in Flames. I also saw someone recently did well at a tournament with it on mtgtop8.com.

    Thoughts?

    I was keeping an eye out for someone to report findings here, sure.
    TOGIT went out of business, so I'm without a store that does weekly Legacy to offer any feedback myself.
    Card did catch my eye for sure though.

    Most dudes are on discord nowadays, even though I enjoyed it here more.
    There's a possibility to play BUG storm with Pair and Living Wish for Aeve and Boseiju + Kaheera SB with Force of Vigor. Quite the tech.

    Kept a turn 1 hand:
    Misty Rainforest
    Thoughtseize
    Lotus Petal
    Lotus Petal
    Lion's Eye Diamond
    Dark Ritual
    Infernal Tutor
    Won after stripping their Force with Pair o' Dice Lost deterministically.
    Would not have been able to with Past in Flames and while high likelihood Ad Nauseam would have delivered, that is not guaranteed.
    Really liking how it's turned the deck into more reliable run flex slots like maindeck Sylvan Library without being a huge liability on the mana base.

    What did you roll?
    1+1 would leave you 1 mana short for Tendrils I think, but literally anything else (35/36=97%) returns Ritual for IT + 5 mana. Ad Naus must have a lower success rate.

    You're right, but the roll was 6+2, not quite deterministic as I said.
    But turning back on the artifacts for both storm & mana does make for much more dangerous hands in general.
    Only downside is if we fall back into a Miracles control meta where casting PiF on flashback is the plan B to beat countermagic
