How do people generally play when there are Deathrites on both sides of the field? It seems there are a lot of factors at play, e.g. who is the control role, if they have Tombstalker/Tarmogoyf in their deck or not etc.
I think it makes sense, in general, to just use your Deathrite to neutralize theirs. Thoughts?
Too many boardstates to consider to give an answer
Agreed. There is no set rule. It's up to your ability to figure out the board state and whether you need the mana, or you should be cutting off their mana. Or if you are low on life or they are or something like that.

Same with abilities.. depends on life total and board position, and knowledge about opponent/your hand/deck.
Usually I start by Disfiguring their Shaman, then I go from there.
The conspiracy goes deeper than you might think.Can I pay you for not posting in this thread?
Isn't this a prime example of "Who's the Beatdown"?
If you're playing the aggro role, play DRS aggressively. If you're playing the control role, play DRS to that end. Don't put peanut butter in your chocolate and try to own the game with the wrong tools for the job.
You can always play elves to ensure they never get a deathrite activation again

Lightning Bolt and StP: the Tylenol and Aspirin to all your Legacy problems.
Even if you are the aggro role, it doesn't do much good to be attempting to drain at eot. They get the drain and then you can untap and drain, but they can do the same.
Seems to me like eot drain is only good for keeping graveyards empty.
And yes, removal is obviously the best answer. A close second is to play elves cuZ you get to play 12 drs
