1) Dark Confidant vs B/W comes down to whether or not the deck is using Smallpox, B/R bolting Dark Confidant is one thing, but B/W gaining an additional target for Smallpox is another.

2) Why SB Shattering Spree over Chain of Vapor? Chain of Vapor can remove Enchantments, Creatures etc. build Storm and it's an instant, where Shattering Spree just gets around Chalice@1 and Force of Will. Other than Faerie Stompy, which sees no serious play, why are people SBing this card?

3) U/B/w IGGY POP

I have been getting my ass handed to me by U/B/w IGGY POP; Force of Will and Orim's Chant present a serious problem, because TES can't use it's speed advantage with out auto losing to a Force of Will or Orim's Chant, and Empty the Warrens is too slow. Does any one have any experience with this match up?

4) SB Ill Gotten Gains

What are people using the SB Ill Gotten Gains for? I used it to turn hands with Infernal Tutor and Burning Wish into a hand with a set up card, Infernal Tutor for acceleration, and a win condition, Burning Wish for Ill Gotten Gains with Infernal Tutor in the discard, but now that I have a SB Right of Flame, the SB Ill Gotten Gains just seems to sit there, unless I want to do something similar with Plunge into Darkness, which is risky.
