{Karakas} is a 3 of in my dnt and I only have 2 😭

Why 3? Seems like you could get some bad draws a lot.

Well, first of all it's great and just beats some decks(sneak and show). Second, say you draw 2 and a basic. Turn one play this, turn two basic. Turn three, assuming they hsbnt wastelands your legendary land AND you need three mana, you can tap it and then play the other one to get three nabs that turn. True, not a good feeling to sac one just to be allowed to use your land drop, but drawing two is not likely, and them killing your first one is reasonably likely, and drawing two isn't the end of the world.

That's true. And I know the power level of it lol {Karakas} is absurd :P I just don't like a 3 of legendary land

Yes, but elves is a combo deck and has four Cradles in it because it prefers consistency over stability. Death and Taxes is really a white weenie/lockdown hybrid and therefore cares more about stability than consistently getting a {Karakas}. That being said, 3 is fine.
