I am not famliar with this deck, so forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between Deadguy Ale and a BW variant of Death and Taxes? I am seeing a lot of card similarities in the suggestions, and D&T works on a mana denial principle.
I guess Death and Taxes utilizes Aether Vial more for tricks ie. Flickerwisp and Mangara, or Leonin Arbiter and PtE and GQ
Deadguy is probably not really about such interactions and more about A. Disruption (discard or land) and B. Beatdown, in that order.
Having said that, you are right. They do seem similar. However, I believe Aether vial is more essential for D&T. I doubt B/W D&T utilizes direct discard like thoughtseize or hymn.
dw about being unfamiliar, it's not like I know every deck in the world either lol. I just wanted to find a way to use my good ole Bobs, vials, and Godless shrines back from the days of Ravnica and Mirrodin and legacy's price tag is WAY too high for me
Really though, without Vindicate, Hymn and the ability to Rit out a Hippy.. meh. its just WB Good Stuff
That in itself can't be terrible right? Deadguy in Modern would be a lot weaker, but Modern isn't as powerful as Legacy, so a Modern Deadguy would have less to deal with.
Not a complete list by any means, but a list of cards I thought of so far (aka cards I have)
Lands will likely be Marsh Flats + Godless Shrines + Basic Lands (Mutavault? What's that? What?)
True, I may not have Chrome mox plays. But a modern version of deadguy is in a less powerful environment, so maybe such powerful plays won't be missed?
Turn one, you cast this. Unfortunately, the said card likely wouldn't affect the board for quite a while, as it is 4cmc. Even if it was 3 cmc, I'd rather run Inquisition of Kozilek over this card.
Having said that, later on it could hit relevant cards. But if it was in my opening hand, I'd wish for inquisition or thoughtseize instead.
I'm asking about this primarily because I can't really invest into Legacy:Scrubland and Wasteland are out of my price range. (I got Bobs/shocks back when they were cheap huehuehue)
I decided on making a Vial variant: Off the top of my head, I'll include Bobs, Sculler, Serra Avenger and probably 2 Jotun Grunt. Kitchen Finks too.
Any other efficient B/W creatures to include? I was thinking maybe a few more 2-drops, perhaps a set of a 1-drops as well.
What do you think of planeswalkers? Ajani 2.0 seems pretty good. what about sarkhan the mad?
how about orim's chant or silence etc.?
In regards to running out of steam, have you considered the cycle lands? (Barren Moor and co.)
That said, I argue that Zur does better on acc of being blue instead of red: Red doesn't give anything to protecting Kaalia.
I guess the discard helps, but maybe silence and orim's chant perhaps?
unless I had hall/greaves present, I could never bring myself to casting her tapped out.
Thoughts?
Did you forget about the fetch lands? i could never imagine them being bad
idk about the french banlist, but wouldnt demonic tutor be a good add?
Have you guys have any issue with this?
Always wanted to make this girl work, she has an attractive art
Would it still run Marsh Flats? or no

@Nyzzeh I don't think that was deadguy at all, more like BW martyr imo.

Some dude named Frank Lepore made an attempt to try to replicate Deadguy into Modern as much as possible. Any thoughts on it?

How would Elspeth vers 1 work?
