Deck Description

A twist on the traditional Death and Taxes deck that tries to take advantage of value weenies and tempo/card advantage displacement with the lurrus kicker attached.

Death and Taxes is traditionally mono-white, but I've been pondering (I wish) quite a while on how to inject black into the mixture. Black's got some fantastic value critters, namely confidant and voidwalker, plus the great black sideboard options (which I haven't delved too deeply into).

Voidwalker in particular works to shut down the pesky grave mechanics that are quite popular for control these days (I've surmised).

I also toyed aroudn with tidehollow sculler for this build, as I've always wanted to try and utilize him, but ultimately I decided on inquisition instead.

Some fun synergy happens with Urza's saga in here, as it can fetch easy fixes to problems, especially with sideboard options, or even aether vial.

Of note, I've basically forgone the traditional land-land-hate that goes into D&T builds, hoping that the black splash makes up for it with disruptions/advantage.

Thoughts appreciated.

Deck discussion for Modern Estate Tax(Competitive)

I don't know if Lurrus is worth playing over the Kaldra Compleat and Sword of Fire and Ice with Stoneforge package. You also lose the ability to play the Grief-Ephemerate combo. I think in a competitive setting, the Griefblade package is too good to pass up with this stratagem.

It's a good idea, but I think playing Stoneforge for anything less than a Sword of X and Y just isn't worth it if you're not hammertime. You could try playing more Urza's Saga to find your 1 drop equipment. You could try Kitesail Freebooter in the Stoneforge slot.

Either way, I'm a huge fan of Dead Guy Ale decks and I wish you luck.
