That's actually an amazing suggestion. I'll be addin all three :)) thanks me amigo!

{Spellskite} is an interesting add. Not a conventional choice, but I really like it, especially now that {Splinter Twin} decks are getting so popular. What was your reasoning being using it?
Also, may I suggest {Phyrexian Revoker} for SB. It is amazing against Pod, Eggs and many other decks.

I'll definitely add the revoker to the sideboard. Spellskite is there to protect my beaters from removal and to mess with a few deck types. Since it can disrupt how a person plays game 1 and helps me by default I decided it had a place Mainboard.

I think Smiter is a solid card, especially since Thoughtseize and {{Inquisition of Kozilek}} aren't may abilities. Also, not a fan of Spirit of the Labyrinth MB. You're looking to hit, what, {{Sphinx's Revelation}}, sometimes {{Cryptic Commas}}, if you're lucky {{Electrolyze}}, and {{Think Twice}}?

You're right, labyrinth is a sideboard card for sure. What is smiter?

{{Loxodon Smiter}}

Any suggestions?

This is stupid and if you wish to ignore it do so but maybe splash blue for {Grand Arbiter Augustine IV}. Also maybe try a {Chancellor of the annex} to piss the crap out of a lot of decks

I really like both cards but death and taxes is a weenie based deck using ability a like thraben and gaddock to stifle opponents play. They wouldn't fit very well unfortunately.

Maybe if you didnt have to splash arbiter would be tight, but definitely not worth blue for it him

Boseiju with nothing it can be used for seems bad..

I totally misread that card. Thought it included creatures... Dang

No  {Leonin Arbiter} or  {Brimaz, King of Oreskos}?

I'm waiting for brimaz to lower in price. It'll replace the boros reckoner.

I'm in a bit of pickle. I can't decide which sword of _____ is the best for this deck. Suggestions/opinions?

Fire and ice is always a big go to

Updated

{magara of corrindor}, {flickerwisp}, {otherworldly journey}, {sword if light and shadow}

Need them, you do ;)

Couldn't agree more. {Mangara of Corondor} is key.

You guys got me brewing on Death and Taxes.  I am going to build one too.  I'll post tonight when I'm done

You want some more legacy dnt schooling. I suppose your wounds could have healed by now, after thAt tourney.

I know very little about modern dnt.

Another update!

I do not think {birds of paradise} help you much in this deck.

I think I'll build this and sideboard in that new {Martial Law} esque enchantment creature for affinity as a replacement for {Ether-sworn canonist}
