Please try! I don't have the opportunity. Mardu Scout is definitely something to try, not sure of the combo with Cohort though.

Thing is I had been dropping second turn Eidolons several times earlier in the tournament, but this time it didn't feel so urgent. Well, that's round 5 fatigue for you with an added "well, I won't top 4 with a 3-2 result anyway" attitude... :shrug:

Also, thoughts on flames of the blood hand? I know that 4 damage burn spells are very important in Legacy burn (so much so that we try to play at least 9), and while modern doesn't have Fireblast or flame rift or sulfuric vortex, that one point of damage is sometimes relevant. On the other hand, it...

Yeah, but what did you play instead? Did you just leave up mana for burn spells?
I think I played a Lava Spike and maybe a suspended Rift Bolt? First turn was probably a Swiftspear. Dropped the Eidolon on turn three, but it was too late then. Classic bad line of play in this case.

It does sound like that you need to clock in some more games with the deck. It will help with your sequencing and sideboard decisions, as well as just being more familiar with how these other decks operate and board against you. On the plus side, you now have a good idea of your metagame and you ca...

Because I was totally unfamiliar with the deck list. I didn't expect the flurry of land fetchers and cheap artifacts the next turn. Yeah my biggest problem right now is severe lack of experience both with playing the deck (or any deck really) and playing against the rest of the field. Basically one ...

Every time I think it's safe to bring Storm out, I realize that Burn is running rampant with 4 main deck Eidolons. And then I go back to Burn or Goblins. :lol: Yeah, that's why I didn't go with Storm yesterday. But since everyone is preparing for Burn right now, I'm wondering if they will be hated ...

i need to try it for sure anyway. Might be one of those preference things again. Anyway, what's your thoughts on Storm in the current metagame? Last time I played it I thought blue-based aggro (UR Delver, Merfolk, Faeries) were the worst match-ups, but those seems to be nowhere right now. I must say...

Yes, without testing I prefer Thought Scour for the same reason. But it's sometimes easier to get red mana when you get off, so that might be the reason they use it.

^To be fair, I don't feel the pain of standard because I don't buy cards.
I don't buy the Mythics anyway, always try to find something cheap and viable. But it's still a bit frustrating.

While I understand the critique of the format I like it better than the usual Standard: Buy a bunch of overpriced Mythics and manabase, play with the deck once and then scrap it because the metagame changed before the next time you manage to go to a tournament.

You also had a more important blue splash then, so you might as well add a couple of Geist in the SB. Different deck and makes more sense in that one.

It felt like it was written by a player who never plays burn normally. Which it probably was. Splashing blue for Geist of Saint Traft is just too cute. But I must say that 1-2 Mutagenic Growth might be ok. Then again, taking two (or four) to save Guide or Eidolon...is it really worth it?

Yes, Battlefield Forges are an option, at least if I go with no Destructive Revelies. It's basically the single Stomping Ground that's causing trouble. Perhaps it's better to put Wear // Tear in the SB instead of Destructive Revelry for now.

Three UR Storm decks? That was a surprise. It's not a bad meta call when most decks aren't playing counterspells, the expected meta ISN'T Burn w/ Eidolon, and most decks are relying on creature beats to win games (such as UR Delver).
