You're a very good writer wastedlife. I've enjoyed every one of your articles. I always look forward to you and Nightmare's work.
Add this to your slops: Not mentioning zulander at all in my props even though he was the coolest mofo and has the best facial hair evar.
I've never seen him so upset....or ever before.
From the post
Cephalid Breakfast vs. TES feels like you are a 300 lb linebacker tackling a retarded baby.tested my new list versus Brian Diefendorf (Ewokslayer) he’s a savage cheater by the way. Every game he opened a turn 2 win hand with Force of Will. Swear to god.
That's what I thought, Breakfast seems similar to Flash in the sense that it can drive the other combo decks out of the format, but it doesn't have the same absurd Storm/Belcher/Dredge advantage against aggro. It's going to be interesting to see whether or not all of these combo decks can co-exist, and it could be a good time to metagame with aggro if Breakfast becomes popular.
Back to TES,
Replacing Plunge into Darkness with Night's Whisper is a serious option. U/g/w Threshold will let Night's Whisper resolve in fear of letting a Burning Wish/Infernal Tutor + LED resolve, and the card advantage will add up against them. It also lets the deck build up a bit of a mana base, and the cantrip engine of Night Whispers + Brainstorm lets the deck keep up in drawn out games.
A sufficient amount of Elginess.Matt Elgin for being the cooler Elgin.
Early one morning while making the round,
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down;
I went right home and I went to bed,
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head.
Nice report. There's a few things where some points are probably missing though.
Is the land missing from the hand you listed or did you mulligan?
If he had Ivory Mask, how did you Chant him? Or did you Chant yourself Kickered so the creatures couldn't attack?
Mmm, you're at 19 from City, correct? He attacks with a huge bunch of 3/3s (7 to be precise). Wall dies blocking, you're left with City and Gemstone Mine for mana and can't use the City since you're at 1, unable to cast Infernal. Or was there a 4/4 swinging that you blocked?
Great report though, I'm sure those are just some oversights. Nice job piloting your deck through a such field of combo and aggro/control to a 5-2-1 record. Shows how strong an understanding you've got of the MUs and of your deck. Really enjoyable to read too.
I think the Chrome Mox may of been the land, I'm uncertain. Man, I'm never writing reports at 3am ever again. Too many mistakes.
He scooped to the ginormous Empty the Warrens, I told him I could upkeep Orim's Chant. But as you pointed out that doesn't work. Oh well.
I may of played Gemstone mine first, I don't usually keep track of which lands I play first and second. Although, I'm looking at my notes now and I went to 2 after he attacked.
You didn't sac the Wall in response to his Dread Return-fueled Bridge triggers, was that a mistake? BfB has an intervening if clause, so it seems to me you could have left him to attack with just a lone Zealot.
YOU'RE GIVING ME A TIME MACHINE IN ORDER TO TREAT MY SLEEP DISORDER.
I'm fairly sure the tokens are on the stack and will resolve even if bridge is removed. If not, oh well, I still won and know better for next time.
The tokens will not come into play if when that ability resolves Bridge from Below is not in the graveyard.
