why did you have 22 goblins? could you not make black mana for some reason? goblins are bad against landstill...they run 2-3 ee and 2-3 wraths.

I can't recall, but I think it was my only option, I couldn't get that BB for Tendrils.Quote:

3R mana cost ruins the card.Quote:

Ok, its turn 1
You have ponder, brainstorm, probably a land, and other randoms, but not enough to combo out.
What is the right play? Ponder first or Brainstorm?
Depends on the other randoms...Quote:

imo tho,most situations, i would storm first so i can shuffle
How so? It seems advantageous to be able to resolve the kill off of red mana instead of black mana after the Ad Nauseam chain and/or bypass the need to remove Meddling Mage, altho' if you have 20 cards in hand it may very well be a moot point.Quote:

Well guys,the only way to exploit that 3R card is to put it maindeck in g2,and to cast it after an AdNauseam. Which makes it bad, because it'll be a really shit every time you'll draw it except for the kill application. Why did i say Maindeck?
Because in certain situations with Tendrils not usable, you'll have to go
accel-->Wish-->break LED(s)-->DISCARD HAND-->that thing: "deal 0 damage to your oppo".
Fail.
No, because if you have LED then you'd never wish for Spiraling Embers over Tendrils of Agony, Spiraling Embers lets you 1R + 3R off of Rite of Flame(s) - and with 20+ cards seen, the odds of hitting 2+ Rite of Flames are really high. Vs Meddling Mage, it basically lets you redirect its target from Tendrils of Agony to Lion's Eye Diamond.Quote:

You won't always get several rite of flames, and as you said, if you have mana, you'd go for Tendrils, which is way better. Still, netting 18-20 cards with AdN is higly improbable, usually it's 10-15 starting from an avg of 15-16-17 life (assuming we have received some beats and some dmg from Brasses). At this point it's really better to grapeshot..and if it's better grapeshot, well...Quote:

Am I being silly?
Why does it matter? He's playing an almost identical list.Quote:

Sideboard- a tiny bit different. Deathmark. Woooo.
Spiraling embers - it can't kill Gaddeck Teeg, I don't really care.
Wooo. Grapeshot. If your meta really has lots of Gaddock Teeg, then perhaps Deathmark could be a more interesting choice, since it kills that fucking ol' scrooge more cheaply. How much is Grapeshot relevant as an alt win-con after Tendrils against Mages or Halos played by Landstill? To kill Teeg w/ Grapeshot and go off the same turn (to avoid getting another Teeg/Canonist on da face) you must have a god hand with shittons of mana to go Wish--> Grapeshot AND another way to go on storming to fnish into ToA.Quote:
