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

[Koby]

So many ways to fist your opponent. I love it.

So if you guys have a pretty solid hand you will go ahead and use your brainstorms main phase?

Fact: this deck has one of the strongest Turn 1 Brainstorms in the game of Magic.

Lol, TES is probably the only deck that actually makes proper use of a turn 1 Brainstorm. Almost all of the other decks want to use fetch lands afterwards, and so play Brainstorm turn 2 or later.

[Megadeus]

Just making sure. I have been BSing on T1 and it has worked, but I have had people who watch my games ask me why I did it first. I just always felt like it was right if I had a powerful hand that may have been missing one piece to go broken.

Nothing more savage than Turn 1 Brainstorm into the 2nd LED and Gitaxian Probe with Ad Nauseam in hand, stack the deck with Ad Nauseam on top, Probe, in resp pop both LED, go off. Storm is fair.

I consider that standard, everyday savaging :(

[RaNDoMxGeSTuReS]

Usually the rule with TES is if you can't win on turn one, Ponder, but if Brainstorm can give you X cards for a turn one win you mainphase that shit every day of the week. Twice on Sundays.

It isn't that hard anymore with probe in the deck. Now you can go for it more naturally, instead of having to It into more rituals exclusively.

Response to Chrome mox imprint, cast ad nausem is really sweet, got to do it at the GP.

Truthfully never thought of that before. Can't wait to start doing it. <3

EDIT: Actually, forgive me as I'm very tired, but how is this any different from just keeping the Chrome Mox in hand until after Ad Nauseam?

Went 5-2 at an SCG Super IQ. Writing a tournament report now but it will take a while. Wouldn't have a changed a single card in the 75, don't know what else I could possibly want (OP list -1 Hull Breach +1 Revoke Existence).

If you are using LED and Brainstorm to cast Ad Nauseam, you'll need your hand to be empty. So you play Chrome Mox so it doesn't get discarded.

Ah, LED, of course. Thank you; I'm going to go back to sleeping-at-the-wheel in work now.

You know that this is irrelevant without the Lion's Eye Diamond correct? Otherwise you could just play the Chrome Mox afterwards.

What you would want to do is this:

Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Lion's Eye Diamond, Chrome Mox, in response to the Imprint trigger cast Ad Nauseam. In response to that, break Lion's Eye Diamond for three Red.

[Megadeus]

Why do you have to do it in response to the chrom mox trigger? Isnt it a may ability?

Imprint a card you've revealed to AN? This Way you get value Out of that mox instead of being a blank pre-AN

More initial mana is always good. Especially now that the deck runs less Initial Mana Sources.

I find that cutting the 4th Chrome Mox has really started to hurt my Ad Nauseams as I have a habit of playing out my lands before Ad Nauseam leaving me with no mana to cast things afterwards. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

I didnt think about this. Things like this separate good players from bad players like myself

[Psyqo]

Don't worry, I never would have thought to do that without reading this last page either. Ad Nauseum being an Instant sure is fun.

It would be better as a Sorcery.

Also, new Storm Hands!

[Megadeus]

Being able to wish for Ad Nauseum would be Insane.

@Bryant do you do a live opponent or what? How do you do these hand articles?

I could swear we had that interaction somewhere already in this thread ... :/

Article reads "Mother of Ruins."

I plan on writing up my sad Denver report over the next few days. Be prepared.

It is. Humans are lazy and don't like reading the thread like everyone tells them to.
