Also 6-1'd the trial for a french BB sea and 1 bye =)!
Reanimate 2-1
Painter 2-1
Uwb Blade 2-1
Painter (2x retarded fizzle -_-) 0-2
Jund 2-0
Pyromamcer Delver 2-0
Painter 2-0
I'll write more after the event! Jamie and I will first fight our way to day 2 ^_^!
Congratz to you, Stormtroopers. May the force be with you today. ;) I am also interested in your list after the event.
6-3 for me on the main event =(!
Lost to Miracles with postboard RIP, clique, snare, Pierce, fow, snap and yeah.. Portent and ORIM'S CHANT!! No way I would win that match. The other losses were VS my deck itself... 5-8 turns no tutor or even a cantrip after keeping stable hands like; ritual, fetch, Island, led, probe, duress, carpet... Maybe I should just mulligan every hand without a
Tutor or cantrip or stop boarding out preordain :P! I got killed by 1 lavamancer in one of those games.
Jamie went 8-1 (yeah!) and has a good standing for day 2 =)! He won the last match VS Esper that named Ad Nauseam with Meddling Mage, quite funny because he didn't even side it in and naming either Infernal or tendrils is always better.
Anyway, I'm still happy with my 6-1 from yesterday and the french BB Sea (exe). People are willing to pay 230 for them! Tomorrow I will play the trial for next BoM and hope to rock some more!
My pairings for main event day-1. I lost every single g1 and all matches were close with the better player usually winning. Did make some mistakes though..
R1-2 Bye 2-0
R3 UR Painter 2-1 3-0
R4 UB Death's Shadow 2-1 4-0
R5 Affinity 2-1 5-0
R6 Patriot 2-1
R7 BUG Cascade 1-2 6-1
R8 Death Blade 2-1 7-1
R9 Patriot 2-1 8-1
I'd snap pay 300 for an EX FBB sea regardless of language. But I'm stateside/they aren't as common here as over there.Quote:

I have never played a Storm Combo deck before. I've played aggro, burn, elves, control, mid-range, and even odd decks like affinity.
I could go through this thread, but at 200+ pages it's a lot to go through. Does anyone have a article that gives information about this deck?
Thanks.
How rewarding do you find it to play Storm combo like ANT or TES? Details and anecdotes are welcome.
Very, though it doesn't quite compare to Hoofing people. There's a special charm to doing all the traditionally blue-black broken things with green cards, I guess. Plus I like turning critters sideways :PQuote:

Recently bought a playset of Lion's Eye Diamond and 2x Underground sea for playing this deck (also bought a personalize playmat with a tendrils hand-made drawing on it <3) and TES also. Anyway, good to know this deck still up there, with all the hate WotC is printing.
Im sure the following questions have been already ask, but just one to keep them sort in one post, (and there are more than 200 pages to read :eek:)
-B. Wish version better or worst? Guess it's depending on meta maybe? Yes, the first matches are not completely lost against certain MU due to being able to recur to the SB. Worths it?
-More consistent, but better than TES? One kills more with AdN or PiF, the other seems to rely on putting a bunch of tokens during the first couple of turns. Question this, because I love Silence also, but I don't see running Silence on normal Ad Nauseam Tendrils build. Pretty sure someone tested it, how was?
So I still have a lot to learn and a lot to read (thanks above for the links to the articles).
Again, Well done @Zombie and congrats on your top 3.
Lol, no no no no. I didn't play at BoM XD
Even if I did, I would've been at the helm of a horde of pointy-eared forest-dwelling gits.
I just posted the list for people to see and discuss because it was so odd. Though I think the setup makes a certain amount of sense.
Zombie could you maybe post a link to all the top 8 decklists? I can't seem to find all of them together..:tongue:Quote:

Like I understand the single top, it's another really good tool for finding pieces and possibly floating AdN or PiF on top, you'll be able to just activate top and then play what's on top of your deck.
I'm more interested in the list with 0 brainstorms, sideboards and only one of these decks played Grim Tutor. One didn't even play Ad Nauseam in maindeck! I'm very interested in Timo Schünemann's decklist, but I don't really know about this one of Tormod's Crypt. What is it against, other ANT decks, dredge and maybe more time against RUG or what?
Do you see that there is one leyline in his sb, which really confuses meQuote:

Having a single leyline gives you a decent enough chance at having a leyline without devoting 4 slots to it. I believe the idea was started by Lejay who was running one in the sideboard of DDFT and also ran one in his original omnitell list.Quote:
