TPS and The Tropical Storm aren't the same deck. I omitted TPS because my general impression (and this could be wrong) is that TPS has been superseded by TTS with the unrestriction of Gush enabling the Gush-Bond draw engine.

I wrote this article before the Vintage champs – looking at the top 8 shows us that the Tendrils deck was a Tropical Storm deck (though that is of course just one event).

(For reference: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.asp… is the top 8 coverage. Decks are Slash Panther MUD; Minus Fifteen; Painter with Tinker,Jace, Vault, and Mystic Remora; Tropical Storm; Dredge; 2 Meandeck Bob/Gush; 1 BUG Tempo with Null Rod.)
