So no main deck win condition in the finals against mono red Sneak Attack?
Trying something new?
I guess if it worked for Koby....Quote:

Sorry for missing the discussion, did anyone tried epic experiment with TES? How did it went? Thanks ^_^
Happy holidays to you all people btw! Cheers!
Epic Experiment takes about 8-9 mana to sometimes work.
I'd rather Burning Wish for Infernal Tutor into Ad Nauseam, which has a higher chance of winning on the spot.
My first place report
Videos and the two TES reports from this past weekend were added to the opening post.
Kirby, If you look at past reports or even the sideboarding guide I recommended siding out Warrens before yours/Kobys list did well. It doesn't mean that it's optimal all the time.
Congrats on the finish and a well written report. I can't wait to watch the videos of your matches.
One general question: In game 1 of your top 8 match you cast Ad Nauseam with no mana floating and then crack LED in response. What color do you get with LED? Black for rituals? Blue for cantrips? Most times it won't matter since you should just draw into the win, but I just wanted to know what your thought process is and what gives the best odds.
Depends on my life total and the number of tutors/wishes used. If I've used more Infernals than Wishes I'll leave red mana floating or vice versa. If I'm high on life total I'll normally do red/black. If I'm low and depending on the circumstances I may leave blue floating to cast Brainstorm or Ponder.Quote:

Love the article, Cook.
Bryant, for situations like Enchantress game three where you kill your brain, caffeine doesn't help (at least according to a study I read don't remember where). Caffeine helps with routine tasks, while willpower and decisionmaking ability is restored by sleep and sugar.Quote:

I'm not sure of the exact number but I know that it's in the low sixties. I haven't tried to Grapeshot anyone for a large number in awhile. People usually scoop first.Quote:

I've been enjoying Hull Breach personally.
