I have been playtesting quite a bit on Modo, I've played ANT for a little while, trying to get used to the playstyle of TES.
I've always found the deck light on off colored mana sources personally, it may be variance, but with anything less than 7 gold lands I've had to sac a Lotus Petal to cast a Silence far too many times.
Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm
DR with the 3 main colours floating almost certainly wins you the game if not on the turn, then the turn after. I'm starting to like DR again.

Putting a dual in puts us from 6 to 10 Green sources after SB (since Petal isn't really a green source if they've landed CB).
Play out lotus petals when you draw them?

In a field of Jund and Punishing Fire Lands.dec, you have no reason to not win this tournament. Will be rooting for you.

I hear people are expecting combo... I still haven't seen grapeshot at an SCG Open feature match...

Folks have been expecting combo for awhile - that didn't stop Punishing Jund from doing really well.
Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm
Looks like our boys picked up 9th and 10th. Good showing.

That round 9 game was rough. It hurt to watch...

I really want to know his hand and reasoning for keeping a no-lander with nothing (it seemed) but a chrome mox for mana.
Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm
I also got 13th with the front page list but somehow scg messed up the standings on the website, don't even know how it happened

It looked like a very solid hand. All he needed was a mana source. He had disruption. It looked like mox, ritual LED and durress plus whatever else. Seems solid if you get there.
Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm
Expect a report for Friday's article.
Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm
Man... Achievement almost unlocked.
Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm
Ill post more about the tournament when I get home but I'm still on my way back.
Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm
Who else didn't touch their abrupt decays all weekend?
Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm
I didn't get to actually use my abrupt decay's too much at SCG ATL, but it is always nice to have it under a chrome mox turning it into a Bayou!

Theres something that just seems fun about imprinting a gold card under a chrome mox... Though not as fun as imprinting a Moat under a Chrome Mox.
Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm
I drew into top32 at SCG NJ this weekend, unlike someone else....
Although they named my deck ANT.

You had the option of being a man and playing it out. If you did we could've had 4 TES in the top 16.
