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

[Bryant Cook]

I like Doomsday way too much for my own good, but these suggestions sound awful. If you have RoF, DR, LED, (B)(R) and a Wish, you should just get DR or ETW.

At least someone is making sense.

Yeah, but how else are you going to fill the time in other than making pointless but entertaining doomsday piles?

DR is superior simply because it doesn't require another card (d3 or d4) in order to make the piles work, but it's still fun to break open doomsdays for 8-man tournaments. I'd never do it for something bigger, but why not.

So no main deck win condition in the finals against mono red Sneak Attack?

Trying something new?

I guess if it worked for Koby....

I love doomsday also , you can try in ANT with senseis build but this will be therefore DDFT.

I wonder what type of pile you would need to end the world? I guess it would be best to ask lejay.

(Pile: top-bottom)
Meditate
LED
LED
Petal
Burning Wish

(Play sequence:)
Tap two lands for B and one random mana
Cast Dark Ritual
Cast LED
Cast Doomsday (Storm 3, one random mana in pool)
Create pile above mentioned
Sac LED for UUU
Spin Top to draw Meditate
Cast Meditate
Draw Top, LED, LED, Petal
Cast Petal
Cast LED
Cast LED (Storm 7, still one random mana in pool)
Sac Petal for random colour of mana (two mana of random colour in pool)
Cast Top (Storm 8, one mana of random colour in pool)
Sac both LEDs for RRR RRR (7 mana in pool)
Spin Top to draw Burning Wish
Cast Burning Wish (Storm 9, RRRRR left)
Take Apocalypse from your sideboard, reveal it and put it in your hand
Cast Apocalypse (Storm 10)

Sorry for missing the discussion, did anyone tried epic experiment with TES? How did it went? Thanks ^_^
Happy holidays to you all people btw! Cheers!

[Asthereal]

Epic Experiment takes about 8-9 mana to sometimes work.
I'd rather Burning Wish for Infernal Tutor into Ad Nauseam, which has a higher chance of winning on the spot.

My first place report

Videos and the two TES reports from this past weekend were added to the opening post.

Kirby, If you look at past reports or even the sideboarding guide I recommended siding out Warrens before yours/Kobys list did well. It doesn't mean that it's optimal all the time.

Congrats on the finish and a well written report. I can't wait to watch the videos of your matches.

One general question: In game 1 of your top 8 match you cast Ad Nauseam with no mana floating and then crack LED in response. What color do you get with LED? Black for rituals? Blue for cantrips? Most times it won't matter since you should just draw into the win, but I just wanted to know what your thought process is and what gives the best odds.

Depends on my life total and the number of tutors/wishes used. If I've used more Infernals than Wishes I'll leave red mana floating or vice versa. If I'm high on life total I'll normally do red/black. If I'm low and depending on the circumstances I may leave blue floating to cast Brainstorm or Ponder.

In one match I noticed you went -3 Duress, +3 Cabal Therapy. Why was this?

In what match? Junk? Because Cabal Therapy discards creatures?

[RaNDoMxGeSTuReS]

Saw the notes from the report. Question was from memory. Didn't hit me that you sided in 7 cards.

[r3dd09]

Love the article, Cook.

Bryant, for situations like Enchantress game three where you kill your brain, caffeine doesn't help (at least according to a study I read don't remember where). Caffeine helps with routine tasks, while willpower and decisionmaking ability is restored by sleep and sugar.

Bryant, what's your highest Grapeshot showboating in tournaments?

Moreover, how's Hull Breach going? I thought that with 3 Abrupt Decays in the sideboard, Shattering Spree could take back his spot in the wishboard. I've never wished for Breach to destroy Counterbalance since I've picked your list, that's why the question.

I'm not sure of the exact number but I know that it's in the low sixties. I haven't tried to Grapeshot anyone for a large number in awhile. People usually scoop first.

Hull Breach has been fine. It's not there for Counterbalance, although, that would be nice. Breach is there to kill Leyline of sanctity.

I've been enjoying Hull Breach personally.
