Death and Taxes

Death and Taxes is a Legacy deck in control style and not to be confused with the classic archetype White Weenie. It tries to 'tax' the opponent's resources using cards like <c>Thalia, Guardian of Thraben</c> and <c>Rishadan port</c>. The deck is famous for the number of tricks it can do, usually involving <c>Aether Vial</c>. Examples include using <c>Flickerwisp</c> on things and <c>Mangara of Corondor</c> + <c>Karakas</c>/<c>Flickerwisp</c> (with Vial).
