    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    depends on how you accomplish it I suppose. Simple probability would accomplish the job of determining roughly what the odds that the next card you draw will be a land, not to mention what the odds...

    wow. All I can say, is that if you guys really don't know your decks well enough that you have to rely on Brainstorm, or other card advantage engines in order to know what your odds of drawing a...

    Except not everyone plays Enlightened Tutors in their sideboard anymore. The Team Rocket build that won GP Strasbourg certainly didn't. And you would be a fool not to play Cataclysm in a format...

    Okay, take for instance my above mentioned example where you are drawing 5 cards in a row that are all duds in the situation.

    Tonight for example I was playing a Jund match up. I had mulled down...

    We run around 14 Non-Basic Lands as it is (can cut that down to an effective 11 non-basics since we never play more than one Karakas at any given time). We are already vulnerable to Blood Moon and...

    look at it this way, unless they have a hard counter to answer Rest in Peace then the instant you play it, they are losing their entire graveyard. So if you play it at the correct time then they will...

    We have such a high creature density that it really isn't necessary to have creature recursion in our deck. But if Creature recursion is necessary, then why not just add Sword of Light and Shadow...

    why are we suddenly afraid of that card? I mean unless that is being played as an answer to Miracles and Maverick and by proxy us as well, I don't see why that card is actually viable against us?

    The problem with cutting Stoneforge Mystic is that Stoneforge Mystic is really the most efficient way to play Batterskull. And right now Batterskull really is the best equipment that Death and Taxes...
