Deck Description

A legacy combo deck that generates a large storm count and wins with tendrils of agony.

How to Play

the first 1-2-3 turns your going to want to either sculpt a hand to go off, and/or strip your opponents hand of hate with duress, and cabal therapy. turn 3-4 are where you generally go off. its possible to go off t1-2 sometimes, but usually waiting untill you can duress or cabal therapy, or even gitaxian probe to make sure your safe is the better plan.

to get lion's eye diamond to work you have to play it in response to a spell or ability. for example-

you play infernal tutor then in response sac off lion's eye diamond. you get 3 mana and get hellbent on infernal tutor. basically you get to play demonic tutor and black lotus.

there's all sorts of other ways to make use of lion's eye diamond though. you can sac it in response to an ad nauseam to get the 3 mana and draw cards. you can also sac it in response to past in flames and then play the cards you discarded out of the grave.

this deck actually prefers to play past in flames over ad nauseam. usually i only go for AN if i cant win off PiF. most of the time, you build a storm by ramping into a tutor into past in flames. then play the ramp out of the grave into the tutor into tendrils for win.

it takes alot of practice to get used to piloting the deck, but its insanely fun once you start to get the hang of it.

Deck discussion for legacy ANT

So this is the infamous Legacy Tendrils Storm deck? I'm no pro, but this looks damn good. And complicated, yet fun to play, too.

This seems like a solid storm deck. How hard has it been to pull off? It seems like a fluster storm or early canonist would be painful and hard to answer

Its not too hard once you get used to it. Flusterstorm and other counterspells is why the deck plays 7 md discard spells. But its also possible to play around counters in other ways. Ethersworn and other hatebears can be answered preemptively with discard or can be answered with a sweeper or bounce spell. Burning Wish lets you grab an answer game 1 as well.
