Against Burn, or Blue-Red Delver?
I was going to answer this and then decided I'm done spoon feeding you. Come to a conclusion for yourself for once.
I dont see Inquisition of Kozilek doing anything against Burn.
My bet : RUG Delver.
Bringing IGG in against blue deck which will bring hate in doesn't sound that bright. On the other hand, I might just be stupid.
IGG loop without life-loss.
RUG Delver is full of Lightning Bolt, Forked Bolt and can clock fast with a Turn 1 Delver, Turn 2 flip.
The whole reason bringing IGG instead of Past in Flame arent still very clear.
Chant effects have little to no use against dude based decks, since all their hate is 2cc creatures, hence IoK and bounce.
I could be wrong, I haven't played MtG for about 2 months now, but that's my observation.
**edit**
IGG is pretty good against burn when they are tapped out. An early IoK against burn is worth at least 3 life, which equates to 3 cards off AdN.
Against mono red burn IGG loop is an option. Against UR, keep it as a wish target for if you resolve a chant effect.
I'd bring in IoK against mono red burn and U/R burn very fast. It hits every card in their decks sans FoW and fireblast if they run it.
Against mono red burn, your best bet is either EtW for 10+ dudes on turn 1 or AdN turn 2 or a turn 3 kill via PiF/IGG. And against mono red burn I just board out chants so fast it isn't funny, as the only way for chant to be live is if they suspend rift bolt and you have the mana to silence/chant them with the suspend trigger on the stack as a psuedo counterspell. Chant with kicker isn't really an option. Overall, it's just a race.
Well it's good to know that there's someone who reads this thread that can make correct decisions on their own.Quote:

As for U/R, I've found it helps to not respect permission from them if you can't reasonably afford to as they play anywhere from very little to none. For example, if you can wait two turns against a flipped delver in order to play around permission with your ad nauseam but with your life at 8, you should probably just go for it with 6 additional life. This might already be a common thing and I might be restating the obvious, and if so I'm sorry.
win on all the turn ones!Quote:

Later.
That's significantly less cool. Did you sell the duals yet, and would you be interested in shipping them to me if you haven't? Also, I think you're gonna regret that sale pretty soon.Quote:

I'm trying to sell my pimped TES deck too... so I can buy power, but that's a different matter.Quote:

I played T.E.S. in a local yesterday, took 1st, and won my 40th dual land. I beat Sneak Show, Dredge, Maverick, and Maverick. (Small Event)
But with my current sideboard I haven't cast Infest in over a month. I think I may be using that slot as the wishable Duress in the near future.
i'm really noob to the deck (just a couple tournaments played with it) and this community, but is awesome and really funny to me, thnx for the thread. I had a lot of troubles trying to beat sneak show... any advice? show and tell for emrakul t2, with at least 2 counters in hand, or just a lot of tricks. i think that i don't really know how to play t.e.s against alotofcounters.deck correctly (we have chants and discard, but sometimes is very difficult). Something like cruel edict in the wishboard helps?Quote:
