Legacy- Death and Taxes

I will admit, Death and Taxes was one of the first deck archetypes I understood and wanted to use when I got back into Magic. The version I knew has evolved and changed, and it is time for me to change with the times. I am also man enough to admit, I haven't played it in months. *sigh*

I pulled a few cards out to use in other decks... but as all my legacy decks are proxy, I could simply just print out a few replacements and slide them back in.

The new developments for this deck come via Commander 2. Namely Recruiter of the Guard, and Sanctum Prelate. While I agree these are very very good cards, I like to run a different build from what is typically found. (Hello mtggoldfish build!)

What I have done with some positive effect is the following:
Run two Batterskulls
Main deck a Rest in Peace (I am serious, I bank on the other player abusing graveyards... BR Reanimator, Deathrites, Goyfs, Storm. God I hate Storm)
Thalia Heretic Cathar, though that might be a one of

In any case, I don't want to run the vanilla build of something... throw some spice out there, throw people off, unexpected twists, etc. Nothing too crazy, keep to the heart of the matter, but do play forks of my own design.
To that end, I am still debating the number of the Recruiter and Prelate to run. What gets the best effect for the show of force. Might have to test on Cockatrice a bit.




For the record, here are my current decks for Legacy: (before you ask, yes, these are all sleeved with sideboards)

• Death and Taxes
• Merfolk
• Infect
• Sneak and Tell
• Shardless Bug
