I just realized I never finished the OP. Shit.

It's been almost three years since Land Tax got unbanned. I still hope that one day the deck will be at least competitive. I've only had a short...

I agree with the Miracle aspect.

My old version ran Terminus but not Entreat. Being able to wipe the board and still get Land Tax going was sweet. Though Uba Mask seems so great in shutting down...

I know it costs 4 mana but Uba Mask kinda does what Chains do. It's still devastating against Brainstorm and Jace. I never really had an issue reaching 4 mana with this deck without slowing Land Tax...

Between that and Unexpectedly Absent, I am surprise that no one is taking on a Cataclysm list.

@ Pelikanudo's creature dilemma:

Have you ever considered Luminarch Ascension? Think about it, if you resolve a Cataclysm and had a means to get rid of your opponent's creature, your opponent...

I also want to add that Goblin Charbelcher resets your Scroll Rack which is an okay interaction.

This got posted at Everyday Eternal

List by Sean O'Brien (aka the Nether Void guy):
[Business] [35]
2 Enlightened Tutor
4 Sensei’s Divining Top
1 Humility
2 Lightning Bolt
2 Terminus
2...

I agree with Pelikanudo on the control matchup.

The three things I don't want to see across the table are AEther Vial, Sensei's Divining Top and Super Jace. This is why I pack three Pithing...

I think he justifies both running 16 lands and Wasteland with Crucible although I do agree that 16 lands is problematic. There will be games that you're not gonna get Land Tax on the field.

I...

Back in 2010, when Land Tax was getting the unban lobby, Stephen Menendian posted this list:

11 Plains
1 Mistveil Plains
4 Wasteland


1 Crucible Of Worlds
1 Goblin Charbelcher
1 Isochron...

I want to comment on Path to Exile.

The problem I have with PtE is it gives your opponent that extra land. Sure it triggers Land Tax but a lot of times, it helps the opponent more. Not to mention...

The reason why Quinn is under Established is because infamousbearassassin (Jack Elgin) used the deck to win back-to-back-to-back tournaments with it and had enough publicity to warrant other decks at...

Benie got most of it. A couple things I would like to "talk" about:

Against Ichorid, I'd still prefer Humility over Moat. Ichorids don't die under Humility which don't trigger Bridge from Belows....

If you want to run shuffle effects, why not run Fetchlands? Maybe Ghost Quarters for added "utility"? Or Flagstones of Trokair? That card is essentially a glorified Plains that comes with a shuffle...

I wouldn't concentrate on Stoneforge/Batterskull. That "combo" is only great against aggro and midrange, something the deck is already good at.

I would concentrate on having the win condition...

@ your sideboard:

I would add more Trinisphere. What I remove is based on your discretion.

@ secondary draw engine:

What's wrong with it? SDT sets you up do much with X-for-1, allowing you...

I don't think it helps the deck.

In the early game, you want I deal with threats. You want removal against aggro/creature based strategies. Against control you want to assemble your draw engine...

I would suggest Karmic Justice although that's just a catch-all thing. What does your meta look like?

Finn and I discussed about that before too. Along with Faithless Looting and Winds of Change (and Supresion Field) in place of Scroll Rack).

The deck isn't tier1 right now but I enjoy playing it...

The three reasons why I ran Pithing Needle on my list was:

Super Jace, Sensei's Divining Top and Wasteland (to some extent Fetchlands). If the deck could find a way to abuse Suppression Field, it...

Partial primer posted.

Also, I am contemplating on Maindecking Suppression Field. I know it's a non-bo to Scroll Rack, Helm of Obedience and Elspeth but the main target of that card is to disrupt...

Show me how you can win turn 1/2 with Painter/Stone and you might convince me with that combo. Consider removal and permission.

In Imperial Painter and U/R versions, you can protect it with...

Sorry got the delay with the primer. I've been busy with holidays so playtesting has been limited.

As for the Painter/Stone kill, I find that whenever people see Painter's Servant, it gets...

I am in the process of updating the primer. Any suggestions are welcome.

I was running 3 of then before the updated list but I find casting them on turn three means that you're not doing anything on that turn. If you cast them later in the game, they lose their value...
