Getting true name in the mirror seems fine.

Specifically the uber-fun spell queller splash.

Hey Rob! I'll likely be creating a new thread in the New/Developing section, and I also stream the deck fairly often. My buddy and I just started it up so it's a little rough, but if you want some gameplay I can send you the link.

I almost went back and added that to my comment. But got lazy. Queller is a sweet target. Not quite as good 1v1 vial decks, but it can at least stop a swords if they do it in response to a mother of Runes activation, if we answer mystic we can get jitte or sword on the way down. I'm sure it has plenty of play in the mirror. Fun card is fun!

You can't search for Queller with Whitecruiter, it's a 2/3.
Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes
Death and Taxes is getting all the goodies in this set
http://www.channelfireball.com/artic...nctum-prelate/
Sanctum Prelate - [1][W][W]
Creature - Human Cleric (Mythic)
As Sanctum Prelate enters the battlefield, choose a number.
Noncreature spells with converted mana cost equal to the chosen number can't be cast.
2/2
Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes
Tutorable with new Recruiter, and also a Human if setting Cavern on Human.
Someone at Wizards clearly loves D&T.

I started a thread today called Thalia Stompy that might fit what you are interested in.
Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes
Flabbergasted. That card is insane. It's getting to the point where there aren't even cards to wish for anymore. Rest in Peace bear? That's basically it.
Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes
Coming from 4C loam, this deck gets more appealing with every card release

How about an Urborg for Plains ;-)
Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes
Has anyone seen preorders up yet? Neither SCG nor CFB have it up yet. I don't think I want to sleep on it like I did Recruiter yesterday.
Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes
@f7eleven
Well, given what they gave us so far in this set, it might happen... holy cow, this is absurd.
Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes
With the spoiling of the new Recruiter and THC, I think this deck would greatly benefit with some increased speed in the form of Noble Hierarch. I think the green splash will become the next best splash for this deck, not only Hierarch but Qasali Pridemage and Gaddock Teeg and KotR and Choke are good inclusions that come from Green Splash.

Do we even need to bother splashing anymore? They're just giving us so many white cards that there's hardly a way to find room for green or red cards.
Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes
These new D&T toys are going to push the deck into the stratosphere.

Don't you just start becoming Maverick at that point?
Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes
A lot of spicy new tools coming out. Get ready for the mirror. Getting to the point where hushwing gryff might be necessary main or out of the board

I'm going to play 1 Magus in the 75 with 3 Caverns. Having 4-5 copies of a Blood Moon effect on demand is really powerful, keeps them honest, gets you wins vs Lands, 12-Post, Eldrazi. It might get stuck in your hand sometimes, but so does Batterskull, and Magus is actually a more powerful card. I suggest other people try this strategy - now the rest of you guys have no excuses not to. Just stick a Magus in your SB.
But beyond that you don't need to splash with all the powerful white cards we have to fit into our 75. Green splash cards have always seemed a bit too fair to me and Green doesn't go well with Cavern on human.

Unfortunately a two-sided effect, it shuts down too much of your own deck. Non DnT decks might play it, however. Aven Mindcensor has gotten a bit better now.

Card is ridiculous. The wording is so strong. Gryff does nothing because it is not a trigger. "As" can not be got around.
I don't know if the rest of you have seen this yet, but you just name "one" and go about winning.
