    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    Do you know who won the tournament? Against Ruby Storm, you want Sanctum Prelate, Rest in Peace, Surgical Extraction, Ethersworn Canonist, and Judgment.

    Swords is dead in the matchup so that's the...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    I've been considering Hokori, Dust Drinker. I'm still not a fan of Cataclysm. It requires way too much setup and is already pretty inconsistent. Hokori is tutorable, a clock, doesn't get delayed by...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    I don't think Cataclysm is that good anymore. I tried out 2 before Richmond and it was always the worst card in my board. It requires way too much setup and when your opponent is playing...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    I think the decks that typically want Trophy are decks that fold to Jace. These are typically non-blue midrange decks. Blue decks still have Force game 1 so they don't necessarily fold to Jace. This...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    Marcio is obviously a significantly better player than me, but I disagree with so many of his sidebord choices. For example, against Lands he only boards out 1 Thalia and I board out all 4. I’d much...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    I've taken Koke's advice and built my sideboard to beat Miracles and Grixis Control. I now have 2 Cataclysm, 1 Gideon, AoZ, and I went up to 3 Council's Judgment. I haven't played against Grixis...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    How does your sideboard look right now and how do you board against Miracles?

    Right now I bring in 2x Gideon, 2x Council's Judgment, 1x Prelate, 1x Sword of War and Peace. I board out 4x Swords to...

    I'm asking cause my win percentage against Miracles has cratered ever since Top was banned and Grixis Control is already a poor matchup. To me, Snapcaster is the main issue in each of the matchups....

    Do people bring Rest in Peace in against Grixis Control? If Accumulated Knowledge Miracles becomes the de-facto build, is Rest in Peace something we bring in against them too?

    Snapcaster is such a...

    Disagree with Wu on some points like playing 24 lands; he still won the Pro Tour so whatever works for him. Remorseful Cleric has been pretty good for me. It's perfectly fine as a one of in the main...

    I've always been pretty high on Blessed Alliance and if UBx Shadow is the real deal, then people should consider playing at least one in their sideboard. Good for all reasons it was good before...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    It's definitely worth testing. I think other decks want it more (Merfolk, Painter). White just has so many busted sideboard cards that there might not be room for it. Dodging creature removal is...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Played the WR version on Friday without any fetches. Only red sources were 3 Cavern, 2 Plateau, 4 Vial. Only red cards in the 75 were 2 Dire Fleet and 1 Magus.

    I think I'd cut one more Plains to...

    I've been going 3-2 in pretty much every league I play if that means anything. Personally, I don't think D&T is particularly well positioned right now. Even Grixis Delver seems to be just barely...

    Played against it a few times over the weekend. I think Judgment is a necessary evil in the matchup. Czech Pile has so much removal for our creatures that a resolved Jace is actually difficult to...

    Cavern is a liability now. I'm going to cut the two I was playing for a Plains and Horizon Canopy.

    To beat TNN, which will be a huge player in the coming metagame, I think Blessed Alliance is a...

    Death & Taxes gets a LOT worse now with a Miracles ban. A lot of our bad matchups weren't that popular cause they had an unwinnable Miracles matchup. UWx Stoneblade decks are gonna come back now,...
