    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    I agree with Secretly.A.Bee. Last list I was on matched the one 2 posts up - Jailor, -Spirit of the Lab; + Mirran #2 + Serra #2.

    I've caught a little bit of discussion around Cataclysm grabbing...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    Aren't the future DTBs - Sneak and Show, UBxx DRS/TNN/Jitte pile, UBxx Delver, Storm and Elves?

    Feel like if the TNN strategy is the best fair blue control thing to be doing we're terrified of it...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    Batterskull is also still really good against the BUG games w/o TNN. Being big enough to rumble, not soft to AD and often able to strap onto fresh bodies if/as the game grinds later. Not saying...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    I would go with a "Deep End" list and see if you can get a 3rd strong pilot to test the meta against, then you can coach your friend 2v1 in how major match ups play and what our deck of answers best...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    It does seem strange that such an obviously strong card is not an instant 4-of. I agree. But, Luca is on the money here. It's a hedge because I really don't want to see two of these off the top of...

    I could be wrong, but on paper I like Resto Angel better. Resto matches up better against Bolt and feel like Flash is strong versus Shardless... guess this new angel is maybe better against Eldrazi...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    13 W is definitely a little greedy. Some of it depends on how many WW casting cost cards you're running. I'm usually playing ~10 WW cards and find 14-15 to be optimal. I could see if you were...

    Karakas is pretty important against Show and Tell, Reanimator/Tin Fins and Miracles. 1-2 copies would effect the win rate against those archetypes. Against most other archetypes it isn't hugely...

    Council's Judgment has been a house for me out of the board. I find it comes in over STP in a lot of midrange/control matches.

    The best cards out of SBs are: Pithing Needle, Cataclysm, and Gaddock Teeg - the former attacking Top the latter limiting their Miracles. Council's Judgment can be fine too, to remove a Planeswalker...
