"What is a Death and Taxes deck?" first thing that popped in my head was 'a deck with Thalia' lmao

I really like one mox to let Saga fetch white. On a mull, a 5 card hand that is Ancient Tomb, Urza's Saga, Solitude and two white spells is keepable. Plus, you'd be happy to have it in your opener anyway, Ancient Tomb + mox into turn one 3-drop is powerful.

am i missing something or did you suggest adding mox pearl to a legacy deck?

Does it have death? Does it have taxes? Yes. Real talk though, the phrase "death and taxes" is about inevitability. A combo deck can be cut off, while a death and taxes deck ticks toward victory.

I feel like there are decks with much more inevitability than D&T though? It tends to lose to Bant control in the long game. I’d define D&T as a hatebear tempo deck, mostly

@sontaranmc2109 it's an old name. It used to be if you didn't find a way to break through the chokehold fast, you just...lost. The older builds had things like mangara karakas to make sure that no matter what, eventually death followed the taxes

The name is not about the deck's inevitability. It's about how there are things that are inevitable in life: Death, Taxes, and someone will find a way to play White Weenie in Magic. Since this deck's not really a White Weenie deck, it's moved away from the reason for the name. That said, so what. It definitely feels more like a D&T deck than a Stompy deck since it isn't making 3 mana on turn 1.

@@Cake_Mx I don't know anything that confirms this statement besides some random people saying it with no source. I did some digging and Finn, the original deck creator, states that "Taxes" refers to the disruption. Unfortunately I don''t have access to their original post in 2007 and the oldest version I have access is their updated version from 2011

I feel as though d&t is about how it interacts very cleanly while playing to the board. Something like jeskai control doesn't really play to the board but it has more options to control with
