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

[Lemnear]

Dropped out round 6 of 7 ... Losing all but 1 dice sux. Playing against Miracles and hilarious topdecks all day does too. Totally punted round 6 Game 1 as I missed to flashback Therapy over a Goblin token to strip a batterskull ... didn't matter at the end anymore.

Quad Therapy was nuts. Didn't face a combo deck aside Imperial Painter all day, so no TP. 3 Decay were necessary.

That explains why I was unable to find you :(

Carsten made 6-1 and gained a Bye with ANT and my teammate made 5-2 with my TES' twin

Where were you guys? Arrived like 3pm in the venue and registered for the last trial for 2bye. I saw some tes players playing. I'll be wearing again my letran jacket and will take pictures again. Just tap me in the shoulder tomorrow. Good luck to all tes players

Will do. Enjoy your stay. :)

We were leaving right after round 6 (because I had no more chance to gain Bye's) to get food for our party at our appartment

Funny that all peeps ran in their SB is combo-&grave-hate in a 2/1 relation. There were too many Patriots, D&T, Maverick, Thalia and Cannonists in the trial that Massacre Looks pretty appealing as I was not able to get paired against any of the other combo decks in the room. Maybe a last Minute switch :/

[Deviruchi]

Last minute changes are the things I regret the most after tournaments ^^ But if you have to you have to. Good luck to you and to all other Storm Troopers!

[Megadeus]

Good luck storm troopers. Massacre seems eh. Still doesn't get teeg, but at least it kills off the other bears of hate that are white

Nope. X-2-1 isn't enough to make day 2 anyway so I dropped and left the venue before round 9, picked up some doods who were also eliminated and go out for Sightseeing (horrible weather) and food.

The deck worked well as expected, but losing all but 2-3 dice rolls over the whole weekend sux donkey balls as the insane hate I faced. I tip my hat for the peeps who ran Cannonists in their Esper Desthblades (FoW + Thoughtseize + Clique + Snapcaster + Cannonist) or slapped me with Turn 1 Thorns the whole weekend (Painter). Worst Moment of the weekend was my opponent having 2 Sphere of Resistance + 2 Counterbalance + SDT in play before killing me with Painter + Grindstone after I killed 3 Painter before.

Didn't face a single combo deck (aside 2 Painter) the whole weekend

I'll write down more later or tomorrow.

Greetings to all people who reconized me, my deck, my dices or my Lost Eye Diamonds :D


@paeng: didn't you notice a guys with blazer, leather stachel and beanie? I'll wait for you tomorrow right before the hall at 9:30am. I PM'd you my name already yesterday ^^

Not too bad!

Finished 7-2 aka 16th at Legacy Champs in Philly today. Played the 75 in the OP, thoughtseize was fine for me all day. Report might come or I'll just post the matchups and small details since i didn't take awesome notes. I punted in round 8 to kill my hopes at top 8.

If GP DC is anything like Eternal weekend was today, there will be a decent amount of merfolk, elves, omni, storm, miracles, and rug. Few to no nonblue fair decks near the top (Ari Lax on Death and Taxes a notable exception)

Well done! Would love to see a report!

[paeng4983]

This is my last day or chance of meeting fellow tes players from europe. Me and lemear will be in front of the vendo machine near the entrance hall at 930. I hope to see u guys. Good luck to those who made it to day two.

[Pelikanudo]

I'm sorry, I wanted to go to the BOM but I couldn't so, good luck to every Storm Trooper!
I'm from the bottom - Spain.

Please let us know your feelings after the torunament!

Lets rock with Storm!

ANT represented over the weekend at both BoM and Legacy Champs, no TES to be found. Just a numbers game (i.e. more folks playing ANT) or is TES not as well-position in the current meta?

[Ivan Ferreiro]

There are 3 ANT decks on the Top8 of BOM (http://www.lotusnoir.info/decklists-...-event-legacy/). What it comes to my mind is that there is a need of mana stability on combo decks (as Show n tell and Elves have but not TES).

I leave you the deck I played the other day (http://evolutiongoya.com/mazo.php?torneo=55&mazo=450). You will laugh for sure

There were 5 TES among 690 players afaik and all (including me) eliminated day 1. I can only talk for myself here, but the meta was pretty rough for a fragile construct like TES with various hate within single decks, masses of Miracles/Esperblade (with Cannonist)/MUD/Painter and ontop of that I lost all but 3 dicerolls (16 rounds total with trial and Mainevent but I dropped the last one in both events due to being practically eliminated).

Regarding your question: It was both. A lot more players (and good ones too) picked ANT for the event, which is more successful in outplaying manadenial/-block which was omnipresent.

Losing dicerolls against decks like Painter/MUD/Miracles/etc. is a near 1-2 loss and the sources/results of my defeats. It doesn't matter if you beat the rest then. :/

Didn't face a single deck which Telemin would have been an option. Guess being unlucky again.
