    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    I’ve been running a lot of elves, and keep seeing people leaving Thalia in postboard. Why?

    I don't think Gideon is all that good against Czech Pile or Stoneblade. Its interesting that you bring up Mentor, because Cataclysm seems significantly better against Mentor. Gideon's not going to do...

    Not to be pedantic, but that’s very well organized qualitative analysis. I actually prefer qualitative analysis to quantitative, because it’s difficult to have a good enough sample size to have...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    The way I play it, Cataclsym is something that I take in against anyone that generates a lot of permanents or has a high mana curve. The main targets are Miracles, Czech Pile, and Stoneblade, where...

    If its Baltimore shouldn't you prepare more for Lands than Czech Pile? Im still under the impression that Pile is more of a magic online deck, I havent seen it much more than any other random deck in...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    That’s my results not theory. If you’re struggling with the matchup, try cutting down on cute/fun cards and try running a more streamlined build. Cataclysm is a humongous game changer as well. The...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    It’s about a 50/50 matchup at equal skill levels. There are just a great many poor DnT players due to its accessibility, particularly on magic online.

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    I still feel pretty favored against Delver, though I do often feel like you have to think pretty hard about what you spend your removal on. I sideboard-3 Revoker -1 Prelate -1 Mirran Crusader +2 Path...

    The mirror and infect are where being able to gun down x-1s comes in handy. Grindy matchups like Pile are where having a big creature that can blast them for the last couple points of damage comes in...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    Has anyone tried out Walking Ballista in Taxes yet? It kind of plays a couple roles; as a late game mana sink, an early game removal spell or a mid-late game one sided Wrath. Its tutorable, and I've...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Prelate vs Delver is slower as molasses. By the time it reaches play, it can very often be too late for it to have any impact. Its also a horrific topdeck.

    RW Taxes runs the same number of white...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    I would add that even in the games against Delver when you drop a Prelate on 1, sometimes it’s turn 3 and they’re clocking you enough that it does nothing. I’ve had more games than I’d like to admit...

    Looking at all that Grixis Delver in top 8 at EW has me trying to figure out what to do to improve the match up. Currently I run a pretty stock list and board -3 Revoker +2 CJ and +2 Path. I’ve been...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    While Snapcaster and Deathrite are still cards with a RIP in play, neither of them are very good at all. RiP serves as a good hoser in that it makes a good chunk of their deck just bad. 2 mana 2/1s...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    The problem that I've always had with Spirit is that he's an x-1 and dies to a Deathrite or Elemental token. I sort of consider Sanctum Prelate to be the final nail in Spirits coffin, in that he...

    Czech is a newer deck thst we've got around a 50/50 matchup against, and it feels like it could be bettet, so it's worth thinking about new and different ways to approach it and attack it. Most of...

    Grixis Delver feels very dependent on familiarity with the matchup. While there are definitely games where mana denial is bad, or where you shouldnt Plow a Deathrite, being able to read the situation...
