    Heh,

    '"standard" maverick'

    Funny.

    That is all.

    I expect that you guys are happy with the ban of Mystical. It seems to me that this should propel this deck (and some others) into the forefront. What changes can we expect?

    Entirely true. Plus, I have never understood the value of adding Living Wish to this deck. Why this deck instead of, say Counterbalance Threshold? Now, I have read people like Finn mention that...

    Seems maindeck Forge-Tender was not such a strange choice after all.

    Beastman, those sorts of tricks are important in that particular matchup, yes. But there are other resources such as mana denial, Jitte, Mangara, etc. It used to be a pretty good matchup. But I...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Sure it did.

    I think Figure of Destiny is likely to be the real deal. If you just swap them for Stonecloakers or Flickerwisps, you should be fine.

    I think the Figures of Destiny are in addition to the dogs. I have done some jostling of cards to decide what to cut. This is what I have to take to Trader J's coming up.

    I can tell you are talking about this, but you have not played it out actually. It does not work out that way. The Burn player does not usually want to waste a spell zapping him. At the very least...

    No thanks on the Knight of the Reliquary. It's a cool card, but I don't think it is going to work out. Gaddock Teeg, yes. Tarmo, possibly. But not this guy. D+T's creatures have to remain by and...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    It's exactly the same thing we have been doing with Oblivion Ring. On its own, it is a fine card. Against the combo matchups, he provides reliable disruption piggybacked on a 2/2 body for game 1. ...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    I'm with you on all of these points, Kuma. Canonist has to prove itself before I will remove a Samurai for it.

    And D+T HAS slowed a bit. And few people play Silver Knight or True Believer in it...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    I proxied for Canonist last night and tried it out against Goblins and Thresh. And I hated it.

    It acts like a Standstill, and it gets in the way of tricks with Stonecloaker and Karakas. I would...

    Versus,

    1. Why not try new decks on MWS before you buy any cards?
    2. It is of medium difficulty to pilot, so you don't have to practice all that much.
    3. I don't think this guy has been playing...
