my "Painter's Tax" list runs 2 enlightened tutor. as long as i have half a tax/rack or painter's/stone, i'll immediately tutor for the missing piece.
i've tried trinket mage in "Painter's Tax" before:
1. it's blue (force of will)
2. it fetches grindstone and relic of progenitus/tormod's crypt (replaces RIP.)
3. it ruins land tax by brining my mana curve ceiling from 2 lands to 3 lands.
not going to lie, i'm disappointed by how durdley my lists are. if half of the combo dies, all my cantrips have to be spent finding the other piece. but i'm going to keep them as is until i'm convinced of a better plan.
my plan for both lists is to go off reasonably fast, while still being consistent. the removal is there to buy time. you'd be surprised how difficult it can be to assemble a 2-piece combo, even w/all the cantrips in the world.
i had the tax/rack combo since extended or 1.x was a thing. it can be hard to use vs land light builds, like elves or burn.
5/12/19, test vs D&T, 2-5.
we both boarded after g1.
notes: i lost g3 after he flickerwisp'd my lone RIP in response to helm activation. what made me sad was i had another RIP in hand )'=
notes2: losing repeatedly was painful. however, i was gratified in my prediction that D&T would be bad for me.
