Mishras Factory in Death & Taxes?

Legacy Deck Help forum

Posted on Jan. 30, 2016, 10 p.m. by smackjack

Simple question? Would a Legacy D&T list run Mishra's Factory? Seems good, how would a land list with Factory look like?

I don't think that it would run the factory on the fact that it already runs an average of 8 colorless lands already in wasteland and rish port.

I've seen lists that play a couple. They generally cut to 2 Karakas or cut Canopy/Flagstones/Cavern. Example:

9 Plains, 4 Port, 4 Wasteland, 2 Mishra's Factory, 3 Karakas, 1 Horizon Canopy

This is the list I would play with Factories.

Yes, thats why im asking. Factory is good in situations, and its resilient. Upping the colorless to 9? Terrible idea? I rely on Vial anyways...

Sounds bad. Karakas is combo hate (reanimator/SnT) and it protects Thalia AND it can Mangara lock. The situations where factory is good you shouldn't be in, such as post wrath with no creatures in hand.

EndStepTop Thats the situation where im the most fucked and if i have anything keeping me from dying, or a 2/2 the turn after Toxic Deluge that i can equip, im happy. Altho, i would have to cut a producing land, going up to 9 colorless

Yeah what I'm saying is, DnT is not an aggro deck. You should never have committed all your creatures into a board wipe. Factory is also going to require you to use mana instead of porting your opponents lands.

Yea i guess you're right.

Is 2 Cavern of Souls one too many? Its a good land, especially when you don't have a AEther Vial out, but there are many different creature types so its kind of a semi-colorless land.. Should I play two copies if I have it laying around?

Yes 2 is too many because 9 colorless lands that cannot cast Swords to Plowshares is really hard on a deck like this. That's why my land list looks like this:

And flagstones is for extra value when you Cataclysm.

Coinman1863 You've also got 9 colorless lands for Plow.

Sorry, I meant 10 lands. Not nine. As I was making the point that 2 Caverns was too many.

Damn, this concussion still messes with my counting.
