Easy one.
But I can't put the answer into spoiler tags :(
This looks like a job for me.

Not a tough one. You can even protect your combo with Duress ;)
Saying the scenario is easy doesn't really accomplish much. I know it's easy. I won the game. I even took the time to put a note at the top of the post saying veteran players shouldn't have an issue with it. However, players new to storm might have to think twice.
Post the series of spells that would win the game, not how easy it was. Bonus points for finding both ways you could win from the hand.
See the problem?Originally Posted by lorddotm
I'd approach it this way:
Tap your lands.
RBBU in pool, Storm 0.
Cast Rite of Flame.
RRBBU, Storm 1.
Cast Mox imprint Duress and tap.
RRBBUU Storm 2.
Cast Infernal Tutor for another Dark Ritual and play both.
RBBBBBUU Storm 5.
Chain of Vapor both of your Moxen by saccing lands and recast them without imprinting stuff.
RBBBBBU Storm 8.
Cast Tendrils and slap your dick into your opponent's face.
This looks like a job for me.

The above solution is incorrect. You have to copy Chain of Vapor one more time and use it on the opponent's Wild Nacatl for maximum showboating and tilting value.
Failed to realize this forum doesnt have spoiler tags. :(
Thats the way I approached it, Nidd, but there's still another way!
He has 3 lands and mox is tapped.
Play mox imprint duress( storm 1) tap mox, play ritual (storm 2 BBB), play IT revealing rite( storm 3 BB), tap sea, play chain targetting mox and sac tapped sea to copy and tagged other mox ( storm 4 BB), play mox no imprint(storm 5 BB), play mox no imprint( storm 6 BB), tap city play rite( storm 7 BBRR) play rite(storm 8 BBRRR), play tendrils for 18.
TEAM AWESOME
Well, at least we smell better
Where in his post does he state his stuff is tapped?

He says after brainstorming off of mox your hand is...... That leads me to believe he cast brainstorm this turn, so actually that is +1 storm to my math above

I think this is the other way of doing it. A little trickier though.
Tap your Lands (URBB)
Rite of Flame, Dark Ritual, (URRBBBB) Storm 2
Chrome Mox imprinting Tendrils of Agony, tap it (URRBBBBB) Storm 3
Chain of Vapor copied twice on both moxen (RRBBBBB) Storm 4
Cast Chrome Mox (Duress) and Chrome Mox (nothing), tap the imprinted one (RRBBBBBB) Storm 6
Infernal Tutor for Burning Wish (RRBBBB) Storm 7
Burning Wish for Tendrils of Agony (BBBB) Storm 8
Tendrils of Agony for 9 storm
Not necessarily a better way, but different.
EDIT: I guess if he used the mox for brainstorm, my method would not work.
Here is what my teammate, ninja_attack , and I would do:
Brainstorm has been cast (storm 1)
Underground Sea into Duress (storm 2)
City of Brass into Rite of Flame (storm 3, RR)
Chrome Mox imprint Infernal Tutor (storm 4, RR)
Chrome Mox into Dark Ritual (storm 5, BBB RR)
Underground Sea into Chain of Vapor on Chrome Mox, sacrifice a land and bounce the other Chrome Mox (storm 6, BBB RR)
Cast both Chrome Mox imprint nothing (storm 8, BBB RR)
Tendrils for 18.
End of turn...Morphling

This seems like the safest way to do this, because not only do you lead with duress, if you see scary things, (2x mindbreak trap) then you can change plans easily. This is assuming your opponent doesnt have leathal on board. If you do have to change plans, duress first also allows you to plan ahead, figuring your outs and you still have chain if they land teeg again.
I would rather lead with Duress, but the alternative is
He's already cast Brainstorm this turn (Chrome Mox is tapped, storm 1)
Lands tap for RUB
Rite of Flame RRUB (2)
Dark Ritual RRUBBB (3)
Chrome Mox imprint Tendrils, tap RRUBBBB (4)
Chain of Vapor on both Moxen RRBBBB (5)
Chrome Mox imprint Duress, tap RRBBBBB (6)
Chrome Mox just for storm RRBBBBB (7)
Infernal for Tendrils RBBBB (8)
Tendrils B (9)
This way would work, but only if one other copy of Tendrils is in the deck, maybe brought in earlier via burning wish or what not...... Or you are playing a list with 2 MD Tendrils.
True true, I don't play Bryant's list but I thought it had 2 Tendrils instead of the maindeck IGG. Looking at the first page, I can see that it doesn't (in fact I can't figure out what the extra card is, 8 protection vs 7 must be). Anyway I guess I should have asked for the list (and I assume this is post-board because they have Teeg and we have 2 CoV), I do think leading with Duress is the one correct play here.
Honestly, it is just nitpicking as it changes 0.
It changes the fact that he had mox tapped. The +1 storm is irrelevant yes.

I think the maximum storm count should be 9 + Tendrils.
Tap Chrome Mox and play Brainstorm (1)
Tap USea and play Dark Ritual (2)
Play Infernal Tutor Revealing Rite of Flame (3)
Tap City of Brass and play Rite (4), Rite (5)
Play Chrome Mox inprinting nothing (6)
Tap USea and play Chain of Vapor on Chrome Mox (7) sac a land and copy it to the other Chrome Mox
Play Chrome Mox imprinting nothing (8)
Play Chrome Mox imprinting Duress (9)
Play Tenrdils with the BRR floating and tap the Chrome Mox for the second black (10)
If you want to Duress them another route would be:
Brainstorm (1)
Tap USea and play Duress (2)
Tap City and play Dark Rit (3)
Play Chrome Mox imprinting Rite of Flame (4) and tap it for R
Tap USea and play Chain of Vapor (5) on Chrome Mox and copy it to the other Chrome Mox
Play Chrome Mox imprinting nothing (6)
Play Chrome Mox imprinting Infernal Tutor (7)
Play Tendrils of Agony (8)
"I just shot Marvin in the face!"
"Why the fuck'd you do that??"
If you want to Duress and kill him, all you have to do is:
Play Chrome Mox, imprinting Infernal Tutor
Tap Chrome Mox, cast Duress
Tap Underground Sea, cast Dark Ritual
Tap City of Brass, cast Rite of Flame
Tap Underground Sea, cast Chain of Vapor targetting one Chrome Mox
Sac land, target second Chrome Mox
Cast Chrome Mox, imprint nothing
Cast Chrome Mox, imprint nothing
Cast Tendrils with a black mana to spare
Along with the Brainstorm off the first Chome Mox, you have exactly nine storm.
Not sure about this, but i'll try it this way:
Tap city of brass and one underground sea for rite of flame and dark rit (RRBBB storm 3 including BS)
Infernal tutor revealing mox (RBB storm 4)
play mox(imprint duress) and tap for B (RBBB storm 5)
play another mox with no imprint (storm 6)
tap the remaining u.sea for chain of vapor and sac 2 lands to bounce all 3 moxes (still RBBB storm 7)
play all the bounced moxes again (storm 10)
tendrils of agony for 22
** provided we can sac one more land and we know he has no mindbreak trap. otherwise, it'll be just tendrils for 20)
