The Current State: Massacre

May 25, 2016 Bryant Cook Articles, Legacy, Strategy, TES, The Current State, The EPIC Storm, Theory Advice, Metagame, TCS, Thoughts

I’ve been focusing my efforts over the last few months on Standard as I had two Grand Prix within driving distance. Now that the dust has settled on those, I’ve been back to counting to ten (and sometimes twenty)!  Recently some of you may have seen me streaming while testing for ...

How to Build a Sideboard

February 15, 2016 Bryant Cook Articles, Legacy, Sideboard, Strategy, Theory Advice, Metagame, Thoughts

I’d like to start by saying this isn’t necessarily a The EPIC Storm or even a Legacy article as the information can be used on other decks or even formats. At least once a week I receive an email or message asking why I don’t play “X” in my sideboard. More ...

The Current State: Chain of Vapor

February 8, 2016 Bryant Cook Articles, Legacy, Strategy, TES, The Current State, The EPIC Storm, Theory Advice, Metagame, TCS, Thoughts

With Star City Games: Philadelphia approaching, I’ve been doing more analyzing to the gain the slightest edges in match-ups. Since my last article, Jordon Robbins has won an SCG IQ and top 8’d a classic, with a list similar enough to the standard. The main difference being the ...

A Storm Hybrid

December 21, 2015 Bryant Cook Articles, Deck List, Legacy, Sideboard, Strategy, TES, The EPIC Storm, Theory, Updates Advice, Metagame, Thoughts

Over the last few weeks I’ve been testing a hybrid storm list, a mix between The EPIC Storm (TES) and Ad Nauseam Tendrils (ANT). Basically, TES with a Past in Flames engine built in. I’ve been receiving a lot of questions from individuals who’ve caught my sporadic games on ...

TES Vs. ANT

September 21, 2015 Bryant Cook Articles, Legacy, Strategy, TES, The EPIC Storm, Theory Advice, Metagame, Thoughts

I read a lot of discussions around the internet and through coverage, people don’t really seem to understand the differences between The EPIC Storm (TES) and Ad Nauseam Tendrils (ANT). Not only the card differences, but how they actually play differently and how the different versions ...

Xantid Swarm Vs. The Metagame

September 4, 2015 Bryant Cook Articles, Deck List, Legacy, Sideboard, Strategy, TES, The EPIC Storm, Theory, Updates Advice, Metagame, Thoughts

No one needs to sell me on why Xantid Swarm is a terrific Magic: The Gathering card. Trust me, I get it, I’ve been playing the card since 2006 and back then it was in my main deck! But with the metagame being as aggressive as it is, I don’t believe our bug friend is...
