The EPIC Storm (TES) Vs. Fetchland Tendrils (FT) - The Competition

[Bryant Cook]

This competition started in the "What is the best current combo deck?" thread. It's too determine which deck (TES or FT) has a better blue based aggro control and blue based control match-up. Myself and Emidln are going to play six rounds against each Tacosnape running U/b/g/w Landstill and Freakish777 playing UGwb Counterbalance Threshold.

Rules:
Everyone involved is to take notes and save game logs.
If MWS Crashes restart that game.
Keep track of results (2-1, 2-0, 1-2, ect. all 6 rounds.)
Keep track of what each winning turn was.
