[Deck] Dreadstill - Enter the Fist

[DKK]

You should never, ever, ever lead with Brainstorm if you're trying to find a second land.

98% of the time, you should simply play your Land and pass the turn. Then, 90% of the time, you should Brainstorm during your next mainphase. (If the opponent plays like Tropical Island and passes, you may want to play Brainstorm at the end of his turn, so that you don't signal you're mana-screwed, which may make him Daze your Brainstorm). By waiting until your next turn, after your draw step, you see an extra card.

I know, just for the purpose of this example I didn't make the distinction between your own and your opponents turn. I agree with you on the Brainstorm next mainphase. In that case, however, Ponder would have been better on your first turn.

But let's not make this while thread a Ponder vs. Brainstorm debate. We should put our efforts into improving the deck rather than arguing which of those is better in what situation.
