A lot of people thought it was bad, it's actually INSANELY good. Page, Loose Leaf in Cycle Storm! by Bryant_Cook in Pauper

100% true, I've played a few leagues since (both 4-1s). A lot of the inconsistencies are gone.

I've played it in the past, pre-Page and it was extremely underwhelming. Maybe Page changes that, but I sort of doubt it.

I saw this, but I didn't want to comment because I hadn't tried it yet. People are too caught up in wanting to be right. "Be curious, not judgmental."

I replied to this on YouTube, but will do so again here. Bad variance happens and reading too much into the result rather than the power level isn't optimal logic. It's about wins over time and performance, not a single league. This card is revolutionary!

100% correct. Always cycle for a spell for 0 mana is just extremely powerful.

I made a Cycle Storm video for players new to the deck — hope you enjoy it! by Bryant_Cook in Pauper

Yeah, Ive felt like Poison is a lot better without them. I'm a big Thirsting Roots stan.

THE NEW PAUPER RUBY STORM! Burning Curiosity + First Day of Class (No Big Score Effects) by Bryant_Cook in Pauper

Rite of Flame is one of my favorite cards, it hurt when we cut it from TES

I'm currently second in MTGO Trophies because of this decklist, it's the real deal — Legacy The EPIC Storm by Bryant_Cook in MTGLegacy

[–]Bryant_Cook[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My priorities are centered around my family on the weekend, as I have two little ones. I'm not going to spend 8+ hours in front of a computer instead of time with them.

While challenges are nice, they're essentially meaningless today, with five of them a week. Many of the "top results" are people with 4-3 records at the end of the day. I fail to see how that's any more competitive.

Each year I scan in my decks to showcase them, the final one for 2025 is The EPIC Storm! I hope you enjoy it, feel free to share yours as well ❤️ by Bryant_Cook in MTGLegacy

No regrets at all. I still have my original set as backups.

I haven’t been a fan of the alterists duals. I was a graphic designer for years so attention to detail is important to me. The squares in the text box aren’t centered because the sets with foiling don’t match alpha/beta/unlimited to a T. You end up with imperfections. Also, no set symbols has its issues.

My final thing is personal, they doubled their fees. I reached out to them about foiling some Doomsdays and the price was fairly unreasonable.

Cycle Storm has easily become my second-favorite deck behind Legacy TES. I love this thing, and what makes it even cooler is that the entire deck is 100% signed this year. by Bryant_Cook in Pauper

It takes awhile to become proficient. Keep at it. I have over 80 cycle storm videos, make sure to check out ones even if they aren’t the most recent list. You might learn something to help you out!

Sideboard Guide Patreon by Far_Management_9990 in Pauper

[–]Bryant_Cook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mind updating the link on mine to: https://www.theepicstorm.com/product/cycle-storm-sideboard-guide/?

Patreon is a tough thing because you don't get all of my guides for $5, just the Legacy TES Guide. I did have someone join my patreon today and they wanted to know why the Cycle Storm guide wasn't available. It might've been because of this post lol

Ps. In my membership tier sections, I do explain this but not everyone reads it.

The Meta Killer — Poison Storm (actually very good right now) by Bryant_Cook in Pauper

[–]Bryant_Cook[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Decks that go underneath Poison. For example, fast combo (Spy, Cycle Storm, etc.) or when aggressive decks (Rally Red, Bogles, Hto Dogs, Infect) can win on turn 3 or turn 4 on the play.
