FNM 3-1 —June 5, 2021
Lost 0-2 to Ponza (jeeeeez I hate that I haven't beaten this yet, but literally every game I have gotten rid of the Blood Moon, but then I unfortunately fizzle on the combo)
Won 2-1 against Dimir Faeries - lost because of good tempo with counters, then I won the next games through pretty normal comboing.
Won 2-1 against UBR Twiddle Storm - haha the mirror. The Grixis version with Wishclaw Talisman is definitely better, but I can't afford the lands :D game 1 I won on T3 after he did not win on his T3. Game 2 he played Alpine Moon, and like a fool I had taken out Echoing Truth -_-. Game 3 was amazing with Hope of Ghirapur and Ad Nauseam, even plowing through a Surgical Extraction to exile all my Ideas Unbound.
Won 2-1 against Esper Control - Game 1 I lost bc I kept a hand without Lotus Field and just couldn't draw it :P Game 2 was a win with Aria of Flame while he had Rest in Peace out. Game 3 was very grindy as well, I won on my last turn before it would have been a draw using Hope of Ghirapur and Underworld Breach with a stacked graveyard.
Overall: this was my first time with Underworld Breach in, and wow was it awesome. Reallyy loved it. Hope of Ghirapur was a complete all-star. Twiddle Storm is still super solid.

JW398 yeah interesting for sure... it would obviously be a sb card, but I think you would have to have multiple copies to make it effective. If you were to only run 1 copy and still be able to combo off that mush through whatever sb hate your opponent would have, then I think you should just be able to cast Grapeshot .
I used to sideboard 1 Empty the Warrens but I never actually used it. What do you think?

I haven't played much lately so I'm not too sure. I liked the prospect of having a 1 of Empty the Warrens , or in this case Chatterstorm .
I tended to have a lot of people board in Leyline of Sanctity against me (Playing against various decks). Instead of relying on something like Echoing Truth to bounce the Leylines, you can bypass them all together. I just hated playing against control.

What's your take on the new Chatterstorm ? Basically an easier to cast Empty the Warrens .
