Be still my dark stormy heart...if only but sadly WotC hates us too much for this me thinks.Quote:

Could have been anything from Rite of Flame to Simian Spirit Guide to Mox Opal to Cabal Ritual to Desperate Ritual.Quote:

Cabal Ritual actually doesn't work there. However, in Final Fortune's list that would've been a land or Duress.Quote:

Do you honestly think that hand would be any worse with a Fetchland instead of a Chrome Mox in order to be able to cast your Brainstorn or Duress and T2? Because personally vs Island, go I would be hating Badlands and Chrome Mox there a lot.Quote:

The difference between 13 and 14 lands is so marginal, likely somewhere around 1.33% or you can have a card that gets you out of binds against a Counterbalance game one or an unexpected Leyline of Sanctity.Quote:

Though you don't require the help, it fucking destroys Land's mana acceleration plan.
I've been trying out the following sideboard plan against Miracles and it seems decent. Am I nuts?
Code:-4 Infernal Tutor
-3 Burning Wish
-2 Chrome Mox
-1 Empty the Warrens
+3 Xantid Swarm
+1 Dark Petition
+1 Tendrils of Agony
+1 Past in Flames
+4 Abrupt Decay
If you go the ANT direction, leave at least the ITs in to loopQuote:

First turn kill through Daze and Force of Will!
Sequence:
Them: Fetch, Underground Sea and Deathrite Shaman.
Us: Gitaxian Probe.
Them: Daze. (Which I think is actually fine, he wanted to hide the Force of Will in his hand)
Us: Gitaxian Probe. (See Force of Will)
Us: Fetch, Underground Sea and Cabal Therapy (Force of Will)
Us: Lotus Petal, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Lion's Eye Diamond, Infernal Tutor and Tendrils of Agony.
I see a big error on this line.
The underground sea is not an alpha one.
:laugh:
merry Christorm!
The problem with Alpha cards is that I can read them.
Bryant Cook, the best part is that it sort of looks like your opponent's apoplectically clenching his fist in the photo.
I wish you all happy new year stormers!
Summary of my weekend: http://www.theepicstorm.com/grand-pr...e-0106-092017/
Great seeing you again at the GP, that game with Ross was tough to even hear about. As sweet as it was to blow out my Enchantress opponent with Wish for Rev Silence G1 I can completely understand the shift of Bayou back to board/cut of Rev Silence. Curious what medium BBQ joint you ate at?Quote:

I had the brisket – It was just okay. I think you just need to try some better BBQ.Quote:

Given how popular Leovold was at Louisville how much do we need to worry about him? As a 3 drop he comes down later than other problem creatures though can be accelerated out by DRS.
Leo screws with our discard and probes and even if killed on site draws a card.
Because both Tendrils and Grapeshot copies target they get to dig really deep for an answer if we haven't dealt with Leo before going off.
And this is all ignoring how he hates on cantrips.
Its not too different from the Meddling Mages people ran in Shardless a year back. You have to be prepared to discard or destroy these hatebearsQuote:

Apart, stprmers in general what do you think about ghirapur?
at least it will be a new toy... for sure i will try 4 the next torunament...
Leovold on the battlefield + 2 Mindbreak Traps in the library is no joke versus Tendrils.
the funny thing ofleovold is that:Quote:

It needs to connect unlike Xantid and you can only use it once. Its a very bad version of Xantid if you try to protect your comboQuote:
