This is my take at Death and Taxes. I'm trying out an slightly older type of list that runs Mangara of Corondor instead of Brimaz, King of Oreskos. Karakas + Mangara of Corondor can take over a game if they can't take care of one of them.

I'm using a full 4 Flickerwisp over Serra Avenger because I feel like it can be a little more versatile threat, able to bounce a critical piece of my opponent's board which can turn a game around or even bring in the win.

I'm also running 1 Flagstones of Trokair for its interaction with Cataclysm. My other two 1-of lands include Horizon Canopy (because sometimes you just need to draw that one extra card) and Cavern of Souls (naming human to get Thalia or Mom down, occasionally naming Kor for SFM.)

The rest of my Mainboard is your standard D&T package.

Sideboard includes an Enlightened Tutor package to help out against many decks. Ethersworn Canonist for Storm, Rest in Peace for Gofy and graveyard decks along with Grafdigger's Cage for other graveyard shenanigans, Containment Priest for Sneak and Show type decks, Council's Judgment for TNN, Manriki-Gusari for Stoneblade/mirror matches, Pithing Needle for extra help with walkers and other trouble cards, and Sunlance for Delver.
