[Deck] T.E.S - The EPIC Storm

[Bryant Cook]

So, after all this dose of happy Cookiness, how is Eye of Nowhere supposed to be optimal in the sideboard? It costs 4 to Wish for it (eaning you're likely to do this in 2 turns) and bounce a permanent, and that UU requires it being played from 2 lands most of the times. Is it really worth it? I usually found the most common permanent hate to be bounced is bears. Canonist and Chalice are managed by Spree better. Trinisphere is managed by Spree as well, even better if it's Dragon Stompy because of Blood Moon. Solitary Confinement? Emrakul? not really. Iona? ok, but Reanimator has become very, very rare.

Cookiness, I like it. Eye of Nowhere wasn't very impressive at all. But then again, a random 1 of Deathmark doesn't impress me either.

Wouldn't Deathmark or even Flame Slash be overall better for that purpose, since they're playable off rituals and cost one?

I guess... it's a card that ends up being boarded in as a 1 of. I'm just looking for something better.

Also, I see the wise choice in packing 2 Echoing Truths sb. They're the best general bounce spell that get rid of hate bear, annoying artifacts and Iona.Against Zoo however, aren't them a bit cost-heavy (the difference between 1 and 2 here is ENORMOUS) and, most of all, P-Blastable? Also, Wipe Away against Zoo? double U and cmc of 3 could hurt in this matchup which is purely based on speed.

There was 0 card based choice in this. It was SCG was offering me 50$ for a peeling Japanese Foil Chain of Vapor, where the Japanese Foil Echoing Truth was 20$ and 30$ towards another Dark Ritual.

Yes, Wipeaway, I'd rather have an expensive answer to Gaddeck Teeg than no answer.
