Deck Description

The goal of this deck is to slow my opponent by taxing them and then grinding out a win with my cheap aggro cards.

Death:

Kytheon, Hero of Akros: a 2/1 for {W} that can make himself indestructible and can turn into a planeswalker.


Thalia's Lieutenant: a 1/1 for {W} that can give +1/+1 counters to humans that enter the battlefield and receives +1/+1 counters when other humans enter the battlefield.

Rally the Ranks: A white enchantment for {1}{W} that gives all my soldiers +1/+1 .

Dauntless Bodyguard: a 2/1 for {W} that can make another creature indestructible, so he is both an aggro and a utility card

Thraben Inspector: a 1/2 for {W} that provides me with card draw, so he is both an aggro and a utility card

Brave the Elements: gives all my white creatures protection from a color and this is used for a game ending attack or a game saving protection ability from cards like anger of the gods for {W}.

Declaration in Stone: Exiles a creature for {1}{W}.

Taxes:

Tithe Taker: a 2/1 for {1}{W} that makes instants and activated abilities used on my turn cost {1} more.

Dryad Militant: a a 2/1 for {W} that exiles instants and sorceries when they hit the graveyard.

Thalia, Heretic Cathar: a 3/2 for {2}{W} that causes my opponent's creatures and nonbasic lands to come into play tapped.

Deck discussion for Pioneer Death & Taxes

I have a similar list in paper, looks great! Sunbaked canyon isn’t legal in pioneer, but to keep the tax theme you can replace them with field of ruin and/or scavenger ground. Having the colorless lands could put you into enough sources to be able to side in thought-knot seer for hand hate against the combo decks too. I know that runs off theme a little but it’s cheaper than splashing black for thoughtseize :)

I noticed the sunbaked canyon issue last night :(, so I removed them. I sideboarded 3x thought-knot seers because you make a lot of sense when it comes to combo decks. They are $10 at my LGS, so I may pick some up soon because I see that card going up in value once pioneer becomes more popular. Furthermore, I like the card, so I might mainboard it at some point, as it does add more disruption to my deck. Also, the meta is going to the chaotic, so my sideboard may change drastically, as new decks are played.

Sorry to recommend an expensive card that's usually not my style! Glad I could help, your list looks great! After you play a bunch just change the sideboard to what is big at your LGS or to fight what kills you the most. For me, after getting hosed by board sweepers and red decks that are a couple of turns quicker I now have sideboarded some lifegain and even splashed red to be able to side in boros charm. Little things like that, have fun!
