Am i retarted but are Barin and Contract the exact same card?
if so, why run Bargin, when it costs $13 more...?

Why run BB Duals, if WB are much cheaper?

AHhahah, what Windux is trying to say is that they have different rarities. Bargin was only printed once in portal, where as Contract has been reprinted several times. I choose to run 1 and 1 because of cards that say name X such as Mage and Cabal Therapy.
@BreathWeapon- I was getting terrible hands like double Returns, ETW+ Returns, Tendrils+Returns, too many protection spells + Returns. It was just bad. I don't really use the draw 4 as a combo piece, I generally cast it as a set-up spell unlike SI.

SI casts it as a setup spell too. SI just plays 8-11 of them and can cast them while going off as well. I'm glad you're testing the draw4s though.

Anyone have any ideas for SB options for beating Cephalid Breakfast? In VA it was what I lost to in top 4, I currently have 2 blank spots in my SB and I'm looking for ideas. I've come up with a few but I'm seeing if anyone has any better ideas.

Re: [Deck] TES - The EPIC Storm
I like Coffin Purge. Purge is nice because you can cast it twice, and not only does it stop the combo, but it does it as a suprise. Also if you get therapied, you can flash it back.

Chants look good at stalling for a turn. It still cant solve the problem. Planar Void looks good too, of course if you really do need Ill-Gotten Gains for this match-up. Tormod's Crypt? Darkblast? Pyrokinesis?
These are just ideas, I havent put a lot of thought into it yet.
Re: [Deck] TES - The EPIC Storm
Leyline seems like a no brainer.

IMO, problem with this deck is that the mulligans are unstable already, running Leyline makes it worse.
Re: [Deck] TES - The EPIC Storm
And you need 4 if you want to run leylines.

I said I had 2 open slots, you need leyline in opening grip to make it worth while and mulliganing for a 2 of seems weak.
Re: [Deck] TES - The EPIC Storm
What about STP.
It's not too specific, but the life gain could be a big problem if they are the 26/26 beater variant.

I think it's still pretty for to give him 26 Life for taking his only win, leaving him with just 1/1's and maybe much of them milled.
Re: [Deck] TES - The EPIC Storm
yes true, you could kill the 26/26 and then drop 8 goblins, and wait for him to deck...
I kinda like STP, as it can work against other decks as well, since it's not specific at all.
Re: [Deck] TES - The EPIC Storm
I think coffin purge is just way better, and they dont gain the life. Purge is also good against Iggy-Pop When they go for the gains, you can easily remove their tutor or key card, stopping their combo and forcing them to waste cards. If replenish gets any good, it is also really good against them. The fact that you can play it even after being duressed is a huge bonus.
Re: [Deck] TES - The EPIC Storm
Extract.
If they don't have a man-plan, you win, and they don't run enough counters to win with said main plan anyway.
Re: [Deck] TES - The EPIC Storm
Is there a current up-to-date-list?
