Like I said 2 days ago, I wasn't fond of Leyline anymore, So I will try something like sin collector and O-ring for now. If you have playtested with these, tell me how it went. I really like this mana base knowing that the splash we need for black only include pontiff and lingering. I was using canopy while having less plain, but I do love smoothing up the base with 7 plain to provide the turn two or three chapel. I fell more confident with that. The upside of utility like eiganjo and shizo does not worth the risk. Maybe i Will cut a plain for Shizo or shambling vent, but im not quite sure.
This version is surprisingly strong and fast, thank to kytheon, lingering, serra and crusader. You still keep the tax part, but you are able to push damage airborne while protecting your ass and tax at the same time. Next time I will give another try to the GW version since I played it the most. I do want to play 2 Gaddock teeg main!
If you have any hint or ideas let me know, and like I said in my other post, IF your did not give a try to kytheon in monowhite or BW, *JUST DO IT*. I will never turn back. The number of kytheon is the only issue. Maybe I will cut down to two, but I am not quite sure. Kytheon Protect other threat only by being a nuisance as a 1 drop. and he is the guy you want to have as a bodyguard on the ground, and you don't need him flipped to do so. He block tasigur and gurmag for days. So why would you care wounding your topdeck mode with dryad anymore! Dryad or owl slow them. Kytheon block them! Anyway that's all for now. Have a great day guys!
Hi everyone! I went to a modern side event at grand prix qc and I went 3-0-1.
Round 1
2-0 vs jund
Round 2
2-1 vs naya zoo/burn
Round 3
Draw vs another jund ( would have won)
Round 4
2-0 vs affinity
I was playing a lingering taxe build(thanks deathcatmix!) with some changes.
Mostly the card I was the most impressed was kytheon. He give us a nice way to defend ourselfs for days on the ground,only with his indestructible ability while we atk in the air. Making him flip is cherry on top. I went with 3, I think Maybe cut one for a 3e serra, but ill still
Think about it. The two worship SB was really surprising for my opponents and really helped out (with kytheon it is sad for the opponent). Lingering souls(3 main) really does fit Well in the curve event as a 4 drop.
A card that I always was fan wont make the cut anymore: leyline of sanctity. I played vs 2 jund and never tought it was worth the switch postboard. My point is that you have a chance to do 1 or 2 for 1 ( or more vs burn, but we have other answers vs burn) with it IF you have it in your first seven. The top deck mode feel awfull and we have plenty of possibilities elsewere. Maybe I am wrong. If you Think I am, which match up you bring them in and you Think it is really needed.
Other point : I prefer relic of progenitus a lot more than rip in modern. Using relic smooth up the curve and the 1 draw it give us is really nice. Plus spellskite protect it
I will post the decklist tonight or tomorow
Last point for now: I met glitter at this event! We were side by side in the first round. Such a Nice guy! Keep up the post Guys! I read everything and I love it!
Fulminator mage or dark confidant would be good in this deck i think (side or main i dunno) and playing lands like mutavault with life form the loam could be good. Its like a jund loam pox. Did you look in somme legacy loam pox deck? I think it could help.
[quote from="PasstheChips »" url="http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/modern/developing-competitive-modern/562814-wx-death-and-taxes?comment=3899"]There's no way you want to keep Souls in with Wingmare. Here's what I'm looking at. I just cut out the Restoration Angels.
In my attemps to brew a BW, i tried the combo version, but i do think now that the version without combo give us the chance to fight with other aggro in a better way while using our hating cards against others matchup.
I want to thank you dude, i am brewing a black white myself and my deck look a lot like yours. i never tough of pack rat. I sense it will fit perfectly. changing aether vial to a rat and giving the opportunity to draw more with bob. I have high expectations and i love it! I dont know if you did try it, but 1 of mirror entity wouldn't be awesome in the deck with the blade splicer AND the rat(while boosting our little weenies)? Or it is just Overkill? I also want to try out 2 of Auriok Champion in the deck( but since vryn appeared i could see them in the side)
I haven't personally tested it, but there was some discussion about Mirror Entity previously, and I think the consensus was that it's a bit too mana intensive to make worth it, as we generally top out at 3 mana. However In a list like mine, where there are so many 2/1's and generally just less than 3 power creatures, just vialing in a mirror entity and paying 3 mana to give everything first strike could be brutal. I'd say test it! Just be wary, I have no clue how Mirror Entity and Pack Rats interact.
I got already my 2 fetid heath, but i dont think shizo worth the risk it imply, since the deck only have thalia as a legendary

Am i the only one playing 2-3 chalice of the void in the sideboard? i find it sooo useful versus burn, living end, affinity, infect.. What do you guys think about it ?
Hello there, I play death and taxes (legacy and modern). I play mono-white and GW
I try to make a BW DnT modern. I hesitate to make it combo with anafenza with viscera seer, anafenza and fink.
I want your toughts about dark confidant and liliana heretical healer. Can they make the cut? I never see dark confidant in any built but he seem rather useful for the card advantage we need: We play a deck that try to answer the most threats possibles. Yes or no, and why! Thanks!
