    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    Christian Hauck and I came up with this when we practiced for PT25 and he said it didn't matter for the PT, but per se the card is sweet: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/1254491#paper

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    I honestly don't understand Sword of War and Peace. I would definitely play Walking Ballista as it doubles as an early removal against Elves, is a threat that lives under Dread of Night and can also...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    I just bit the bullet and bought 2 Brightling on MODO for fcking 70 tix, so now I will be able to actually test him and perhaps give you my verdict. The alternative will be side events at GP Turin in...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    So to address the RW Taxes debate:

    I do think that the red splash loses a little bit of value because Magus of the Moon loses some value in the new metagame that is now dictated by either fast...

    Goblins is not an issue, I found the matchup to be very good. I played against it at a local FNM last week and felt pretty good about the matchup, once you get the swiss army knife going it's usually...

    I played 5-2 in the MTGO Legacy Challenge, I lost to Storm and RUG Delver. Brightling was 45 Tix before the Challenge, so I did not buy it and went with my stock list.

    So far I have yet to be...

    Brightling seems like an option if you don't want to play Mirran Crusader or Brimaz. I think Brightling is comparable to Brimaz in that it is very capable of racing True Name Nemesis and bounces back...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    This is definitely not viable in D&T, but it might see play in Nic Fit. I can imagine fetching up Vraska or Garruk Apex Predator is pretty dope, or other dumb stuff like Karn, Ugin or NicoB.

    In an open field, it probably won't matter as the metagame is pretty diverse, but the differences come up more when you are playing local tournaments. There are metagames where Spell Pierce is crap...

    I guess most people think of Wasteland as a way to hardlock your opponent out of the game, but it is mainly about the tempo-advantage it gives you, keeping cards like Daze and Spell Pierce alive for...

    Pox is about aggressive 1 for 1 trades usually, and you need things like Young Pyromancer to blank a lot of their stuff, at the same time you need to protect it from Fatal Push. Spell Snare is a very...

    No, both splash builds are equally prone to the variance a fast Blood Moon brings. When that happens, I'll prefer to be the monoW variant with 10 Plains rather than running the splash with 3 Plains....

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    If you want to win a GP, you need to be lucky. Just like togores didn't run into any Eldrazi in Prague, it's okay for DnT to win if it doesn't bump into terrible matchups like Elves or Belcher.

    There's a way to play it, but it's not a pleasant matchup indeed. I usually board out Spell Pierces as you already need to play around Daze in general, and having Spell Pierce as a reliable backup is...
