[Deck] TES - The EPIC Storm

[troopatroop]

If you think its good deckbuilding to be playing both burning wish and mystical tutor in the same deck that already runs infernal tutor, then you need to revaluate your deck building skills.

Then how do you explain the Okayama side event results? Both winning storm combo lists played 4 Mystical Tutor and an assortment of Burning Wish and Infernal Tutor. Their success was not a fluke. Explain why running all of those cards together is bad in theory.

Mystical tutor is card disadvantage and there is no reason to play it if your already running burning wish and infernal tutor in the deck. You would be better suited to be running more rituals/protection spells in that spot instead of getting cute with all the one ofs which burning wish solves.

What are you trying to say here? Are you implying that since both Mystical Tutor and Burning Wish can search for answers, and because Burning Wish isn't card disadvantage, that Burning Wish just does the job better? I know that Mystical Tutor is card disadvantage, but it is almost always used to settup the next turn win. How relevant is that one card advantage when your opponent searches for and casts Ad Nauseam on his second turn. AdN changes the viability of Mystical Tutor. Especially when you're lowering the Ad Nauseam count to 2. Burning Wish will never fetch AdN, and always costs one more to search for an answer at sorcery speed. You will often need the card to use with LED and won't be able to use it for an answer without slowing yourself down alot. That's not strictly better. Infernal Tutor serves a very different purpose than Mystical, and moderately different purpose than Burning Wish. Infernal Tutor is almost always used in conjunction with LED and very rarely used before comboing as a settup spell.

I just don't see the negative synergy in playing those cards together. Mystical Tutor is inherantly a bad card, but AdN changes the name of the game. It's Vampiric Tutor for the card that you're most likely to want to see.

It just boggles my mind why so many players think mystical tutor is good and worth playing. Unless your not playing red for burning wish, mystical tutor shouldn't even be considered.

While I agree that Burning Wish is necessary, I still don't see why they can't be played together. You make it sound like they're grossly incompatable when that's just not the case. It should really be a debate between Ponder and Mystical rather than Burning Wish and Mystical.
