WB Death and Taxes

Modern

TheCleanestofShips


Sideboard


A death and taxes deck that I have. I love destroying the opponent's lands and find this deck to be fun to play, being at a near aggro speed while getting to destroy their lands and watch as they can't search libraries thanks to Leonin Arbiter.

Eldrazi Displacer is to take advantage of ETB with Flickerwisp and Restoration Angel.

Kitchen Finks a card I did not get at first but after playing against it a few times I realized why the card is good, good blocker tough to remove and can be blinked if it has a persist counter and to keep gaining life from it.

The card that makes this deck run is Thalia, Guardian of Thraben gaining tempo with the tax on non-creature spells.

I have chosen Brimaz, King of Oreskos over Blade Splicer and this is because I like the more aggressive play with Brimaz being able to attack and block and producing tokens without needing to be blinked by Flickerwisp or Restoration Angel.

Aether Vial and Path to Exile are the backbone allowing me to use my lands to destroy opponents while still playing creatures and path is a 1 mana removal spell and with Leonin Arbiter has no drawback.

Tidehollow Sculler and Flickerwisp allow me to exile either a card in hand or a card on the battlefield and then after it is in exile I can take it and place it in the graveyard so they do not get it back with Wasteland Strangler and also potentially killing an opponent's creature.

Lingering Souls is such a good card! Just so much card advantage! It is a powerful card and is definatly included in the MB and might get bumped up to 4.

Zealous persucution is a nice battle trick and since I have a lot of 1 toughness creatures it can help save me from something giving the board -1 toughness.

The Sideboard is still a work in progress. I have Leyline of Sanctity for burn decks. Burrenton Forge-Tender is for storm and Ad Naseum decks.

Aven Mindcensor is for decks that play fetches and search their library a lot.

Ghostly Prison is to lock out creatures. Runed Halo is for when I have no way to deal with a card it helps to keep that card off the board or be useful if it hits the board.

Kataki, War's Wage is for affinity.

Relic of Progenitus is to help against Tarmogoyf or Snapcaster Mage and any other graveyard interactions.

Spirit of the Labyrinth is for heavy draw decks.

Sword of Fire and Ice is such a powerful card. It buffs a creature, gets card draw advantage and also does a little more damage the card is an all-star for equipment and usually can push through with so many creatures that have flying.
