    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    I kinda like Kaldra in the board. Real question is what matches you're bringing it in against. Some decks like Goblins and Burn obviously have a hard time against it, but we're already pretty favored...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Flagstones is 100% "free" value when you play Cataclysm. It's also decent against the mirror if they decide to bring it in against you.

    Sentinel is just ok in my experience. The main issue is...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Looks pretty solid to me. Is the jury still out on Yorion vs "Normal" D&T? I like the extra long-game juice the Noodle can give us, but finding good "filler" to round the list out is pretty tough....

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    Idk about these color splashes, guys.

    I mean, I can see the merit of Meddling Mage/Gaddock Teeg/Magus and bomby shit like TNN and Recruiter, but is this really worth it at the end of the day?...

    Well the activations aren't so rough; if you cast her you can definitely activate her, and I think if I am trading a Revoker/land/extra Thalia for a Delver or Omni, I'm still on the better end of...

    So, I know it's a long shot/maybe cute, but why not consider Jaya Ballard, Task Mage? I know discarding actual cards isn't so hot, but she is Recruitable and her first and second abilities have a lot...

    The scalability is definitely better, I think. While Elves hates to see either cards, Demise also gives you a nice wipe against the mirror, Merfolk, Goblins, Delver variants and anything with...

    Yet another blue deck. Laaaaame.


    I guess we could call it Imperial Taxes? Red and Taxes works, but it just sounds bland. I'm sure basically no one cares about stuff like this, but it bugs me...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    The mindcensor is really more the 5th flier, but I do agree that it is slow and should probably just be a 4th sfm. And, while cavern is another red source, I could see cutting a fetch/basic for...

    This is my stab at a Red Death list (serious props to whoever suggested that name): http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/29-03-15-red-death/

    One-of Mangara, Crusader and Mindcensor as Recruiter targets.

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    Definitely a +1 on recruiter, he's so dreamy. I would probably cut down on then magus, sfm, revoker and even Thalia counts to run him. Plus you can turn those avengers into toolbox one-ofs in Mirran...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Sounds neat, board or main? I think it'd be a nice one-of in the 60.

    Being able to buff up Thalia or Revoker sounds good to me, even if it's effect is simply "whenever a creature enters the...

    Perhaps you are playing against inexperienced D&T players; they are rather common. However, I've played both sides a lot and D&T has the clear advantage almost every game, even in the face of...

    Jitte, SoFI, Batterskull. Each stomp out goblins. We name Vial with Revoker to deny them advantage/speed, or SGC, Gempalm or Sharpshooter to deny them removal (or use Mom) and we have simply better...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Reanimator and Gobs are good matchups for sure, but Omni can be a bit complicated; doing evenly against it is a good sign, for sure.

    Would you mind posting a list?

    Vial, almost 99% of the time

    Unless you suspect a Daze, a resolved Vial is always great on the first turn.

    Jesus, nice snap-ban from WotC. I guess since everyone else is convinced that BGx is coming back, we should consider Wilt-Leaf and Crusader again.

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Uhhh... Force of Will?

    Also, Dig and Cruise can both bury us hard. Teeg is more like Revoker than Thalia in this respect; he hits a narrow, yet otherwise problematic, selection of popular cards.

    I wouldn't hastily cut Mangara. Judgment, yes, definitely back in the board. Mangara was probably why you destroyed Blade so much.

    Goblins is actually our best matchup beyond Delver. You basically...
