Good to hear, I look forward to it! I'm happy there are people working to ensure that storm combo has a future that is accessible to more players.Quote:

It was located in "New Ideas for Combo" so it was a little hidden from view.
I went 4-1 yesterday with a DD/AnT/NLS Hybrid without Mystical Tutor for testing purpose. I really didnīt miss MT so far, since the deck has been really flexible, strong and still explosive. Hereīs my list:
Mana
4 Dark Ritual
2 Cabal Ritual
4 LED
4 Petal
2 Chrome Mox
2 Simian Spirit Guide
Cantrips/Tutors
4 Brainstorm
2 Ponder
2 Infernal Tutor
4 Burning Wish
3 Senseiīs Divining Top
Engine
1 Doomsday
1 Meditate
1 IGG
1 Tendrils
1 Ad Nauseam
Disruption
1 Chain of Vapor
4 Duress
2 Thoughtseize
Lands
2 USea
2 Volcanic Island
4 Delta
2 Scalding Tarn
2 Bloodstained Mire
1 Island
1 Swamp
SB
1 Empty the Warrens
1 Infernal Tutor
1 IGG
1 ToA
1 Diminishing Returns
1 Doomsday
3 Xantid Swarm
1 Krosan Grip
1 Hurkyll's Recall
1 Tropical Island
1 Deathmark
1 Thoughtseize
1 Card I donīt remember
The matchups have been Uw-strange-Balanced-Merfolk (2-1), BW Planeswalker (1-2 due to misbuilding DD-Piles), Rb Goblins (2-0), Uw-Tempo-Faeries (2-1) and Ichorid (2-1). Not my worst matchups but CB/Top was a pain in the ass as it is meant to be. The planeswalker guy had Extirpate and Null Rod post-board which was a little annoying but it still should be about 80/20 in my favor. The Faerie-guy played about 15 Counters maindeck and even more post-boarding, but somehow I had everything needed in my hand to play ToA für 24 just with Rituals, Petals, LeD and his 4 (!) hardcounters that turn. Goblins was kind of a bye since he did not mulligan for his Extirpates, Chalices and Thorns. Dredge was really close, since his Therapies once found 2xBurning Wish... that was game...
Overall, Mystical Tutor would have been nice, but more Wishes suited me really well. I still like the deck and playing it post-B/R should be quite cool due to lesser hate. Iīm looking forward to it :)
Congratz on your result. On question though, how do you feel about the singleton Ad nauseam?Quote:

In my NLS deck I've cut the Ad nauseams and chrome moxes completely to make place for more doomsdays, cantrips since Ad nauseam is a bad topdeck when low on life and I think its pretty inefficient when you have to IT + LED to it.
I started to develop it last Friday, so it's an early deck, but is working like a charm :)Quote:

I've tinkered with it a bit, it is really funny. I hope you'll find the way how to stabilize the deck.Quote:

There will always be situations where AdN is a bad topdeck, where AdN will only give you shitty cards or when you are already really low on life but there will also be situations where it is your only desperate way out. So far the bad Ad Nauseams have been way less than the good ones...
I played B/U ANT yesterday at the Vestal GPT as one last hoo-ra for mystical tutor. I ended up 5th, losing 1-2 to NO Bant. The deck played beautiful, I 2-0ed every deck in the swiss except reanimator (WHO MINDBREAK TRAPPED ME). Was a fun day and won a playset of Volcs that will now be going into TES. RIP Mystical Tutor

New hate card: m11 white leyline is an ivory mask. we must assume that it WILL see much play.
Just another cheap permanent we have to deal with. Precludes t1-2 wins though.Quote:

We don't have to deal with it til post ad naus making it one of the worst possible hate cards. If they are playing white I'm already boarding bounce for their canonist. Not a big deal.Quote:

Include some Bounce in your Doomsday pile and it'll be fine.
Fixed.Quote:

Hell, we might use it ourselves in heavily black metagames :P
//edit: gah, that settles it. I'm not posting until I've played with ANT again.
