Strategy

The "Death & Taxes" deck in Legacy is a popular and disruptive white-based deck that aims to disrupt the opponent's game plan while applying pressure with efficient creatures. The deck's primary strategy revolves around using disruptive creatures like Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and Spirit of the Labyrinth to slow down the opponent while using cards like Swords to Plowshares and Skyclave Apparition for removal. Aether Vial allows the deck to cheat creatures into play at instant speed, and cards like Stoneforge Mystic and Umezawa's Jitte provide additional value and combat tricks. One of the strengths of the deck is its ability to disrupt combo and control decks with its disruptive creatures and hate cards like Chalice of the Void and Rest in Peace. The deck also has a solid mana denial plan with cards like Wasteland and Rishadan Port, which can cripple opponents reliant on non-basic lands. However, one of the weaknesses of the deck is its vulnerability to fast aggro decks that can go under its disruption and apply pressure quickly. The deck can also struggle against decks with a lot of removal, as its creatures are essential to its game plan. Overall, "Death & Taxes" is a versatile and skill-testing deck that rewards careful play and knowledge of the Legacy format. It can be a strong choice in the right metagame and in the hands of a skilled pilot.
