[Deck] Death and Taxes

[lordofthepit]

i was thinking about "Marrow shards" since it can be free. What do you think about it?
any other idea?

I think it won't work as a solution to True Name Nemesis.

My working place internet's policy blocks MTGS :( but it lets me post here, so here we go.

Was trying to find some good answers to TNN. I guess lots of people will try it at the BoM and Currently D&T can't do anything against it except racing.

Obviously Serra avenger seems better than Mirran crusader against it because it flies over it.

What about sideboard cards that could get rid of it and be played?

Tariff, Wing Shards, Circle of Protection Blue, and Runed Halo.

If it 's in Merfolk yeah, too much lors around :(
However any other build will probably play it along a SFM package and will probably fetch Jitte before anything else vs us.
In that case, it's relevant :)
To be noted that marrow shards is also an answer to Belcher decks or TES / ANT playing Empty the warrens, or even young pyromancer tokens...
That's why I thought about this card as a possible sideboard card that is relevant against more things than just TNN.

Tariff, Wing Shards, Circle of Protection Blue, and Runed Halo.

Wing shards is too expensive i guess.
Runed halo seems like the best answer but its still a non permanent answer.
Circle of protection blue Ok. seems legit. might come handy in some matchups and is an enchantement (That matters a lot in D&T).
Tariff, i don't like it :) you might have to sacrifice a creature yourself, and if there is a delver or another creature, it may not even work.

Thanks for the answers thought.

True name nemesis can't be damaged, so no, it's not relevant

Ahah... my bad :p was focused on the not targetable part of protection from a player :)

You forget that it works wonders against fatty decks, such as Reanimator, SnT.

Ooh. This means it can also be in the sideboard of a Junk Elves deck: Reanimator is one of its worst matchups and SnT is not a good one either.

Pretty sure if Elves needed that type of effect, it would just play Diabolic Edict instead, especially since black is its secondary color.

A bit narrow, but Celestial Flare is an option against the new ProgeniFish. Also you elf scrubs should take the elf talk to the elf forum and leave these non-elf people alone!

Watching Eternal Weekend Stream right now, renowned Storm player Ari Lax piloting DnT! 4-0 in Round 5, and up a game against High Tide.

Now 5-0.

[Einherjer]

And he now advanced to 5-0. MonoW beats MonoU :D

Shahar Shenhar goes to 8-1 in BoM and in good shape going to day 2.

Interesting adjustment with the deck, taking into account Nemesis.

For those who don't know what he is talking about:

Swords of Fire and Ice Mainboard
and
Ratched Bomb Sideboard

^Also Avenger back in the main and I think back up to 4 Flickerwisps (not sure), while Mangara is dropped.

Solution to Nemesis: "SoFI or just fly over them."

Ratchet bomb has been used by the Danish since a couple of tournaments back, but I don't really like it seeing as you are a permanent-based deck so you'll probably get hit bad too.

Interested to know if Unexpectedly Absent is being tried in the SB.

I had tried that, but it won't work for me :(

I was boarding Meekstone (with E Tutors) and Micah was playing Crackdown to beat Nemesis (1 mana versus not locking down Flickerwisp or dying to Ancient Grudge). I only played against the card twice on the day, and both times I ended up racing it. I can't imagine that Nemesis is easy to beat out of a Stoneforge Mystic deck, but unless it can pick up a weapon I don't think it's a huge deal to beat.

Before anything else, congratulations on winning! And going through the tournament like that (losing only 3 games I think), despite this your first time picking up the deck, is a testament to your skill.

Seeing as the top 8 lists aren't up yet. Can you post your list over here so we can nitpick, specially the sideboard? With the uptick in popularity of DnT this weekend (2 decks in the top4 of EW, Shahar Shenhar and Thomas Enevoldsen doing good in day1 of BoM), will you still be playing it in GP:DC? If yes, any possible changes if ever?
