    Also in my play testing for TES I have found that PiF is such a powerful engine. What do you think of Liam's ANT/PiF deck? http://www.thecouncil.es/tcdecks/dec...1&iddeck=51410
    First off, Thank you.

    I have no doubt that it's a powerful engine, I just believe that it's a poor main engine. It's too susceptible to hate to be the main engine, it's a fine secondary engine.

    Liam and I talk regularly, I don't like combo without Orim's Chant. Especially right now! It's amazing against all of the Snare/Stifle decks.

    So true. When I'm playing ANT, TES or Doomsday, I want Orim's Chant.

    It's so ridiculous against blue.

And it wouldn't be too hard to protect him in counter-heavy build.

    Don't hold it against me. Bryant is so dreamy!

    I would honestly play TES over TNT right now. Mainly due to Stifle. Snare doesn't actually bother me. Stifle is being very annoying. Chant is awesome and only 4 fetch is too.

    ...Alright then.

    Liam and I were talking today and we're going up to 2/2 on Chant/Silence.

    1.) Infernal Tutor.
    2.) Misdirection/Leyline of Sanctity.
    3.) Japanese foil Silences are cheaper*.


    If you disagree with these changes, oh well.
    *The real reason.

    I would.

    Although, but because you're asking, I'm assuming it didn't go well. "Oh yeah? Well I had two shitty brainstorms and lost! NIIIIIICE DECK!"

    Did I get it?

    Brainstorm and then you can fetch? Everything will work itself out.

    Edit: Wait, I can do it again? So, we can mulligan this hand OR we can keep and basically EDH mulligan?

    I want to here about broken plays with Ill-Gotten Gains. I never relly have to use mine,so im wondering how good it relly is.

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

    Ill is for get the combo when u can't abuse of your life with nauseam, for example against aggro decks when the match goes to late game, maybe PiF is better, but with ill-gotten you can replay tutor with LED for getting more storm and tendrils the enemy. Against control is better than PiF but just if you've played an Orim/Silence. Hope I've been helpfull. :)

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

    Nice report!

    Strangely, I picked up a Japanese card (Past in Flames) and had Burn round 1 at SCGSTL. I ended up 5-3, playing RUG 5 times and winning 3 of them. I'm putting together a report and will post it here in the next day or two.

    I think there are two different factors for TES having a better matchup against RUG than I anticipated. In test games, we didn't have a clock and 3 games to get in with only 50 minutes. There was nothing on the line, so finding the critical plays wasn't necessarily required.

    This was only the third large tournament that I have played TES in, but I have been playing local or test games for over a year and a half and had really underestimated how much feeling I had for the deck in practical play.

    For those reading this... I urge you to read all 140 pages of the thread...SO MUCH GOOD INFORMATION. When you Pyroblast your first Force of Will and Double Grapeshot an SCG Ringer (Bertoncini) in the same tournament, it's awesome.
