Legacy

SCG: Worcester (02/03-04/2018) - 16th

Articles, Deck List, Legacy, Report, TES, The EPIC Storm , , ,
In the last month or so, I took a hard look at data from my spreadsheet and came to the conclusion that the reason I wasn't spiking any events is that I needed to be better than 50% against Grixis Delver. When talking to AJ Kerrigan, he had a lot of success when returning to the full suite of Empty the Warrens. When testing it myself, I've seen an increase Read More »

TES Matchup Battles: Turbo Depths

Articles, Legacy, Main Deck, Sideboard, Strategy, TES, The EPIC Storm , , , ,
Turbo Depths is a combo deck that tries to generate a Marit Lage token (20/20 Flying Indestructible) by either removing all of the counters with Vampire Hexmage or by creating a copy of Dark Depths with 0 counters using Thespian's Stage. They try to do this very quickly (hence the name "Turbo Depths"), but also trying to balance that with protection and disruption. Like most combo decks their deck is Read More »

TES Infernal Tutoring #14

Articles, Legacy, Strategy, TES, The EPIC Storm, Theory ,
Since the last segment, our deck list has switched to the current standard of running the green splash for Abrupt Decay and Xantid Swarm (v3.9). This deck list is much stronger in the current metagame as Miracles has grown to be one of the most popular decks, with Abrupt Decay being the only viable answer to Counterbalance. This deck list has proven to be a big success for many pilots of Read More »

Through the Looking Glass: Miracles with Anuraag Das and Sam Roukas

Articles, Legacy, Strategy, TES, The EPIC Storm, Theory , , , , , ,
Special thanks to Anuraag Das and Sam Roukas for their contributions to this article.  Miracles, with and without Sensei's Divining Top, has been a natural predator of The Epic Storm for many years. Force of Will, Counterbalance, and Terminus combine to form a suite of cards that can be pretty difficult to beat at any stage of the game. One of the major edges that The Epic Storm players can gain Read More »

Miracles Final Hand Answer Hand 10: (on the draw) » Keep or Mulligan? Mulligan In the responses to the last article, players were unsure if this was a keep or a mulligan. I saw a lot of answers on both sides. In my opinion, it's ultimately a mulligan. In the last article we talked about how Miracles' weakness is their early game and how strong of a late game they Read More »

Hello everyone and welcome back to Reading the Ropes! In the last article, we covered the basics of the various win conditions in the deck, and in this article we are going to do a deeper dive into that topic. There are a lot of small intricacies to The Epic Storm that can increase your chances of winning any given game, but none of those things matter if you aren't actually Read More »

Matchup Mulligan: Miracles

Articles, Legacy, Strategy, TES, The EPIC Storm, Theory , , , , , , ,
Lands Final Hand Answer Hand 10: (on the draw) » Keep or Mulligan? Keep This is a keep, but a hesitant "loose" keep. I was actually somewhat shocked that no one else found the same way, I think the issue is/was not taking enough time to properly analyze the hand. The most common response to this hand was, "if you keep hand seven, then you keep this hand too", Read More »

TES Matchup Battles: Aluren

Articles, Legacy, Main Deck, Sideboard, Strategy, TES, The EPIC Storm ,
Aluren is an archetype based around, and abusing, the card Aluren. It does this by having an instant speed combo, and a lot of value creatures to make removal spells worse. The combo is to resolve an Aluren to play Parasitic Strix + Cavern Harpy to return the Parasitic Strix, and then use the Cavern Harpy's second ability to return itself to keep repeating this process until the opponent is Read More »

Here at TheEpicStorm.com, we aim to be a little more focused. And so I present to you: the first ever set review Read More »

Through the Looking Glass: Show & Tell with JPA93

Articles, Legacy, Strategy, TES, The EPIC Storm, Theory , , , , , , ,
Special thanks to Jonathan Anghelescu for his contributions to today's article.  Today like Quentin Coldwater, we plunge into the fountain. Show & Tell is one of the most enduring, iconic, and powerful combo decks of the legacy meta. Where storm builds a critical mass of cards, and fights through with a suite of discard spells, Show & Tell fights on a different axis. It’s an A + B combo which protects Read More »
