I tend to agree with LSV about not flooding a deck with Win Conditions…especially in Storm. BUT if the deck has only 1 Win Condition, I try to find a way (as long as makes sense) to put in an AWC. Let alone Guttersnipe going sooo well in the deck.
As for Windswept Heath uses: 1) Finds Godless Shrine becoming a BG dual. 2) Adds another card that fuels Threshold for Cabal Ritual.
39:19 you could have cast vampiric on your turn and used rituals to cast the mana flare with enough mana to go off. exactly 10 storm count that way, easy solution
Love the first pick frantic search out of that mediocre pack. it’s a great pivot card: great in storm, great in reanimator, and solid in the snapcaster/pyro UR decks too.
54:58 Your opponent casts Mystical Tutor at the end of your turn while having a Search for Tomorrow on it's last suspend counter, so you didn't need to use your Izzet Charm to counter that Mystical Tutor, since whatever card your opponent could get would be shuffled into his/her library as the Search for Tomorrow resolved during his/her upkeep.
mhhh countering the mystical tutor was kind of strange with his search for tomorrow coming of suspend on the next turn, so he has to not cast that in order to get his card…
LED is more important more often to storm than Cabal Ritual. Similarly, High Tide, particularly when you have both Turn About and Frantic Search, is more important than Desperate Ritual. Also, I think you can Tendrils, hold priority, and Venser the original on the stack but still get all the storm copies. I've done it with Remand anyway, and I think it's essentially the same trigger. Also, M3G1 I think where you have Jace in play you want to fire off a Tendrils and play a Jar. You can then Jace to play the Tendrils from yard the turn you crack Jar.
Any card with “magus of the” in it’s name resembles a really bad version of a card. Magus of the moon, blood moon, magus of the wheel, wheel of Fortune, magus of the will, yawgmoths will
I would have cut heartbeat and regrowth for necropotence and magus. Also I would have run windswept heath with the godless shrine so it could fetch green or black. In game there were times where the safest and easiest route would have been to cast tendrils then either regrowth or venser it back to hand
I really don't think you're supposed to pass bargain for a ritual at 6:33. If you can untap with bargain, you generally win the game. And you had mana flare by that point. So you could even potentially play both in the same turn and go off.
I don't think storm is good in this format… you need a LOT of cards to make it work, it's not even that fast and dies to faster combos and counterspells… .
Is it just me or is storm like 1000x better to play than it is to watch? It's just like, my opinion man, but once I see someone's drafted storm I know the matches are gonna be yawnsville unless you like hyper-technical-critique comments. That said CFB content producers are great, keep up the good work.
I wish Marshall explained his (somewhat questionable) picks more. Like p1p1, why would you take Frantic Search over Order? I'm not saying it's wrong, I just wish he reasoned more.
I would've used Heath/Godless. With Godless in board it gives your Heath the ability to get you a green source and a black source. Might not have mattered in the long run, but a small percentage point could add up in edge cases like that.
Great Video, i really like your content 😉 At 39:53 it actually does change a lot when you go with ritual first, just in case you end up in a similar situation. Going rite of flames -> Ritual -> Mana Flare generates 2 more mana in total, because you can tap those extra lands. Hope you keep up the good work 🙂
At 35:00 there was a line to play all your rituals, tutor the Tendrils, flashback Faithless Looting, Regrowth the Izzet Charm to shock him, then cast Tendrils with exact mana and have exact lethal (if he had no answer). Easy to miss in the moment though, took me a couple minutes to double check my math

27.07.2023first game, you shoudve tendrils at storm count 10 and if counter when use regrowth. You had infinite mana

27.07.2023Though a much less interesting draft it would have been, Mono-red would have been absolutely NUTS in this pool!!!
Cody Spring
27.07.2023You could have played the windswept heath. It would have got black with the godless shrine.

22.07.20237 lands, mana flare in play, 9 card hand with turnabout, regrowth, frantic search, vamp and cruise

Jordan Rutledge
20.07.2023no respect for necropotence, even when your deck's key weakness is the lack of big storm draw
also he passed bargain earlier

20.07.2023opponent with the 4 color splinter twin deck tho, that deck was sick

20.07.2023Well, you could also regrowth tendrils..

18.07.202329:00. Should've bounced and replayed tendrils for extra rub ins. Also regrowth it. Could've done like 60 copies if really tried lol
Also I love the whole I'd like to talk to you about… it so feels like a Jehovah's witness at the door. About as annoying and intrusive as well
