I'm going to have to agree with Unk.. He's just giving his opinion.
That's what this forum is about. It's a discussion about opinions on cards and how our decks interact.
The forum is greater because Unk shares his views.. Let's not condemn him for this
In other news, I plan on swapping out a Pyromancer's ascension for a Quest For Pure flame.. I just like the idea of Grapeshot doing a Shock after 5 triggers.. heh
I've tried the transformational sideboard in a local store competition, a PTQ and a GPT. Memorable wins include a Living End player who mull to 4 to get a Leyline of the Void only to face a gazillion Pestermite tokens.
The transform works great in the early matches of the PTQ and GPT. But after word gets around, people tend to expect a transformational SB and are prepared for it. Especially if your GPT is only about 30 people.
The transform is great to get around Relic of Progenitus, but has its own weakness as well, mainly in getting Thoughtseized or Inquisition of Kozilek.
And against control, a full transform to deceiver combo does not solve the counterspell issue.
That might be true, but it gives us an easy way to force them to drop answers on their turn rather than the traditional counter key piece of our storm on ours.
They'll end up tapping out while we drop key combo piece. It's actually pretty nice.
It's the same thing against spot removal though.. Gotta fight through it and win with education(Probes)
So, let's say we take this to a PTQ. What are the odds of Transformational Kiki-twin actually being beneficial to the point of going X-0 or many X-1/2?
I'm not sold on gifts, it seems like a very bad card to put in a deck that wants cards to run optimally at 2 mana tops. I can't imagine this working unless you had an active ascension out
Seems to give much more consistency with hitting cards for Pyromancer ascension.. Boarded out lightning bolts in favor of them, since I find a little spot removal/gap closer is not needed.. Give me the ability to guarantee combo faster plz
Really noob question, but what makes a hand keepable with U/R Storm? What cards/combinations of cards should I be looking for primarily when I decide on my opening hand..
We can't afford to run the 3 swamps. Maybe 2 Evolving wilds and a swamp, we need color consistancy in white since we must ALWAYS be able to hit the double white.
Running the 3 swamps would kick our land count of non-white to 7...would def start to see the double white not showing up fairly often at that point
note, i know the evovling wilds would be slow, however we're shifting to a slower deck just by going to Something like Sorin
Tempered Steel is still in prime position to stomp the crap out of the evolving meta. Once again it's going to swing more towards creature based, and what does creature based better than TSteel? Nothing.

I never turn 2'd a pyretic ritual/Grapeshot until now.
Drop those hierarch/Birds like woah.
Faithless looting works great because of Pyromancer Ascension.
Is Thought Scour a viable addition as well? I like the synergy with Pyromancer.
Remand -
Worth putting in? If so what would we consider cutting in favor?
Game 2/3 though, are the real fights
Thanks

No. I wouldn't run them even if they did have synergy together.
Opening hand.. ARCHANGELS LIGHT?! ****! ::Shuffle::
