    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    What's the verdict?

    1) Cataclysm - Is this card finally relegated to the sideboard? Or is it still maindeck material?

    2) Oblivion Ring - Has this become a standard for the maindeck? How many...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Death and Taxes always is, and has been a meta-game deck. That is to say, many of the cards which make the cut are based on ones particular meta-game. At one point Silver Knight was a staple because...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Advice: don't do it if you're running the mono-w build. You can neglect it when you're running things like Goyf which is huge despite Jitte, or if you're cantripping into what you need. But Jitte on...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    I have not tested any splash color in Death and Taxes, so my opinion is very suspect. However, I'm extremely hesitant to splash a color to Death and Taxes because I do not think there is much to be...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    I used to run it to obliterate affinity and stax. However, between aether vial and jitte D&Ts artifact count is substantial enough that it generally effects us as well. Now glowrider and truebeliever...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Part of what makes Death and Taxes so efficient is how effective all of its creatures are independent of the present synergies. Isamaru without Karakas is still a good card. Likewith with Samurai of...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    It looks... standard. Which means it's pretty solid. In fact, only a few cards off my build.

    Suggestion box:

    - Up the Isamaru count by 1. He's good by himself, and even better with Karakas. ...

    First - As much as I enjoy hearing from your expertise concerning Death and Taxes. Your posts hurt my eyes.

    Second - Your girlfriend is a fox! Yeowzers.

    A distant Third - Can you...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    I saw so little Death and Taxes at worlds. I cry.

    So I put this question to every one. What prevented D&T from making a showing?

    Is it Goyf? Cephalid Breakfast? Really, what actually hurts...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Well done regardless of the non-top 4 finish.

    I like seeing the builds without Cataclysm which incorporate glowrider and more mana lock-down effects. I'm curious, are you running Trinisphere...

    How important is everyone finding wasteland and port in their builds? I've been running 2 ports lately (that's it) and I don't seem to be missing them. I like tapping down an opponents remaining land...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    I first thought of maindecking Auriok Champion for Empty the Warrens. Turns out she's pretty damn good and usually buys you enough time to deal with all of the tokens.

    Where does True Believer...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    A question in general, but particularly directed at chmoddity.

    The weakest spots in my build are the two drop creatures. I have 12 slots dedicated to them and I wouldn't mind using less if...

    Why did you choose Trinisphere over Thorn of Amethyst? While you probably won't be hurt by the extra manacost incurred by Trinisphere half as much as your opponent will with the mana cheating of...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    So... has anyone besides me tested Auriok Champion in place of Silver Knight? My findings, I wouldn't consder going back to Silver Knight.

    Basically there are precious few match-ups where Silver...
