Death and Taxes

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