    Re: [Primer] UB Death's Shadow

    Miracles and Chalice decks are always going to be hard to beat. If you want to focus on these, splashing green is the best way: it gives Library and Decay. The nearest substitutes without splashing...

    Re: [DTB] UB Death's Shadow

    Bitterblossom fills a similar role to Library, but it is not nearly as strong. They are 2-mana enchantments that create effective card advantage. There are two main differences that both come down to...

    Re: [DTB] UB Death's Shadow

    The reason to splash is not Decay or Berserk, but Library. We have alternatives for the former two if need be without the splash, even if they are slightly inferior. For Library, there is no...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    It was excellent a month or so back, before the current control/combo meta evolved. Right now, it's still a decent Recruiter target in the 75 which can break some matches wide open.

    Re: [DTB] UB Death's Shadow

    This has been discussed in depth earlier and on the Discord. Ben Friedman directly advocated the use of Basics as well. Only lists without Basics have put up top results, but I'm not convinced that's...

    Liliana helps to hold the ground against creature-based decks like DnT, persist against grindy decks like Grixis Control (where recurring your threats and killing Strix are both important), and...

    Re: [DTB] UB Death's Shadow

    One thing I'll say is that I really dislike the 3 MB Push with 1 SB Darkblast I've seen in a few lists. I prefer to just put 2 and 1 in the main. In my opinion, Darkblast is a bit too low impact to...

    Re: [DTB] UB Death's Shadow

    While a lot of the deck's power (and let's be honest, fun too) comes from Reanimate, I think it is acceptable to consider reducing the quantity in a metagame is filled with white removal, where your...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    I think we were referring to different decks. To be clear, there are two decks: Eldrazi Stompy is by far the more common deck, and focuses on a quick offense; while Eldrazi Post is a more recent...

    Potentia:

    Your build looks fine versus in general and is alright versus Eldrazi Stompy (not Eldrazi Post, but that deck's a bloody nightmare), so I'm not going to recommend any changes there.

    Re: [DTB] UB Death's Shadow

    Winter Orb is definitely a card that should be considered in the SB; its effect is very powerful against control. Unfortunately, it is really only useful against control, and often is sometimes not...

    I think the environment is more favorable to Brightling now than it was a few weeks ago, but there's still enough Strix and Loam decks around that I don't want to put aside my Crusaders, Prelate, or...

    I think your list is fine. I'd be hesitant to run with only 14 sources of white mana, but you can get by with that number. I certainly understand the desire to play Factories in this...

    Here are my answers to two common questions, originally posted on the Legacy Death's Shadow Discord server at https://discord.gg/QtxHEye

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    Blind in that situation, the odds are roughly even if it's an enchantment or a creature, assuming they play 2 Omni, 4 Sneak, and 3 of each Griselbrand and Emrakul. I'm less sure of your play than I...

    Good showing in the event. Some of those late matchups were...

    I’ve spent some time considering the possibility of a Tutor-focused SB for DnT. Usually these fail to impress for many reasons: poor selection of artifacts/enchantments, going too little or too deep...

    First thing first: while I disagree with some specific card selections, your deck list looks fine, overall.

    As for Grixis Control itself, the matchup isn't actually that bad, but it is overall...

    RiP is still worthwhile against Grixis Control. While the card itself doesn't technically do anything immediate to the board state, it dramatically lowers or negates the value of subsequent K....

    Have you tried the Flagstones + Dust Bowl combo as well? I'd be curious how they compare. I imagine FoR has some slight edges against a few cases (a bit faster and good against decks with no basics),...
