I think bahra streams with it, or at least used to, which would mean that there'd be replays to watch. I'm not 100% though, since I don't really watch streamers.
Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes
We got a new toy, guys:
Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit :w::w:
Legendary Creature - Spirit Soldier
Whenever another nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control, bolster 1.
2/2
Counters -1/-1 effects and has synergy with Karakas and Flickerwisp. I like it.
Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes
yes was just thinking the same!! Think it will be neat as a 2 off orso

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 battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on it."

It would have to take the spot for a beater, since it doesn't hate on anything really. It only improves our creatures in combat.

Technically it will also protect one creature against -1/-1 effects if you vial something in and trigger Anafenza, but I consider that pretty weak for something in the main deck.
I agree with the spirit of the point however, that I am not impressed.
Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes
hard to say just how good (if any) it will be, but I don't think this is a sideboard card against -1-1 effects. It would be quite clunky and vulnerable at that. If this ends up shining, I suspect it will be in the main deck, probably in place of the Avenger slots...
Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes
Anafenza seems slow, encourages potentially over extending, requires investment to out beat Mirran Crusader/Serra Avenger and is a medicore top deck. Crusader and Avenger can also beat through most blockers, while Anafenza cannot. It'd be cool to be wrong but I don't think she's playable in DNT.
Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes
hi, want to clarify that i've never actually played this deck, so my opinion isn't worth that much, but is there a reason why Honor of the Pure isn't considered as an answer to Dread of Night?
Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes
I can answer that.
I have used Honor of the Pure in the past. It is not terrible. But it is just narrow. It does nothing on its own. It is an answer to hate which is generally not what you want to be doing in anything except a combo deck. If -1 effects are enough to completely destroy a deck that is not combo, you need to start over on the deck.
That said, the replacement answer that many folks use is Wilt-Leaf Liege which is far more broad.
As for the Anafenza, I would be more inclined if bolster let you choose the target. 2/2 moms are not impressive.

Council's judgement, disenchant and oblivion ring all answer cards like Dread of Night whilst also dealing with other problems. Anthem/Honour of the Pure effects are just too narrow and aren't worth wasting sideboard slots.
Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes
I am going to try a 1/1 split between this new lady and Serra Avenger. Avenger has been impressing me less and less lately.
As for the comment on wishing you could choose which creature you get to buff, you basically do get this range of choice in DNT since SO many of the creatures have 1 toughness. Say hello to 3/2 thalia's and 4/2 flickerwisps.
Essentially, I like my creatures in DNT to be as tricky as possible, and Serra Avenger just isn't that. It's good at carrying equipment, but so are Flickerwisp, Thalia, and Mirran Crusader. At least Anafenza is another card to reward us for playing Karakas, as well as assist in beating the various small sweeper sideboard cards that so many decks lean on to beat us. I fully admit that I might be overvaluing it, but I think its worth the testing time and I will be looking to trade for a foil copy. :cool:
Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes
Got excited seeing Legendary Creature - Spirit Soldier. Anafenza, the only spirit without flying~ I keep hoping for that Legendary 2/x flier at 2cc - some of the application against Delver that Serra Avenger has (trading/mom advantage) - the awesome Karakas interactions against attrition matches.
I preordered a few to give them a spin anyway. I'm not too hopeful, but testing will tell.

Kamigawa block has tons of non-flyer white spirits.:tongue:
Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes
Lieutenant Kirtar is a card. I don't think we have ever discussed it at all, but it is not terrible.

If only the sac ability was free...it might even be playable.
Finn, I love your encyclopedic knowledge of white weenies. Keep it up :cool:
