Description

A pseudo replacement for Xantid Swarm now that The EPIC Storm in lists without green, it’s main function is to prohibit cards like Stifle, Flusterstorm, Pyroblast and Invasive Surgery that are coming out of our opponent’s sideboards. Keep in mind, our opponents can still cast spells with a Defense Grid in play, but it typically taxes our opponents enough where we can plow through the first counterspell and eventually kill the opponent. One of my personal favorite things about the card is its ability to shut down Leovold, Emissary of Trest from ruining your day. While your opponent can draw ten to fifteen cards off of your Tendrils of Agony targeting them, this will most likely stop them from casting Mindbreak Trap or Flusterstorm.
