Ok, first off this shit is nuts. It can get turn 1 wins and second is almost sure to happen. A guy played it on MWS agianst me and can't post here so I'm doing it for him. His AIM is  juzammaster1 if you want to ask him about how it plays or what not. I'm going to go test it out some later and post my results. Maybe the creator of this gem will be able to post soon.

I always figured there was some reason behind not using Tainted Pact in RestrictedCombo.dec and just assumed it had gone through everyone's mind thanks to Tainted Mask keeping the card in everyone's eye. Was I wrong to withhold my "stupid question"?

One land seems a little light, btw. Charbelcher costs more than Tendrils and is counterable, so you should switch to The Best Combo Kill Condition Ev4r and add in a few lands because, well, even Balls-to-the-Wall combo will take a free mana. Any better combo players have input?

If you are going to start playing tons of eggs, at least play some helms. You seem like otherwise you will be massively mana screwed.

I couldnt agree more about the Helms.  With so many Eggs and 4 Spheres, its nice to be able to filter your mana instead of actually spending it.  I think 3 Helms could easily replace one of each Egg and Chrome Mox.  This has the added benefit of being slightly less redundant when Pacting.

ESG's are better than Chrome IMO, but I wasnt exactly pleased with either in testing.  A version I'm currently testing uses Cabal Ritual in addition to the Darks, and no Eggs.  Running 3 Helms make Cabal better, but at worst its an ESG for black that ups your Storm.  At best its a double Dark Ritual.  I was very skeptical to try these out, but after I played a few games with them, I think they might be involved in a good Tendrils build...but I'm still not sure.

I still don't like playing 1 land at all.  I think the main reason why Neo-Long never caught on(c'mon and bash me if you'd like Rico) was because if it didnt have the hand or couldnt mull into it; drawing a few cards over the course of a turn or two didnt help matters at all.  With 6-7 more land, Long was slightly more forgiving with regards to mull'ing.  Where I'm going with this is that I'm of the firm belief that you cant play with 1 land.  I'd love to be proven wrong though, trust me!!

hehe...no Crop Rotation??

Take a look at lime's deck (lower down on this forum) - it basically does what you want to do, but has 5 effective lands - 4 land grant + 1 bayou. No eggs though.
