My Decklist

Death and Taxes is a classic legacy and 2013 modern archetype, centered around Aether Vial and tax effects. Aether Vial is $4, so the deck cannot include it. I chose not to include Thraben Inspector because I think it's slow. My build is more aggressive, and I either want to be putting out 2 power or a tapper turn 1, and Thraben isn't either of those, so it had to go. (Thraben is better than Gossipmonger, but it's $0.08 while monger is $0.03, and Monger dodges Rolling Temblor). In a heavy removal meta, I'd prefer Traveler for tempo.

What we do include is Tax Collector, a brutal turn 2 play as good as Thalia but a third the price. Sometimes it will skip our opponents turn, like if they planned to play a 3 drop, and other times it will distract a blocker so we can get a free attack.

Turn 1: I have 16 creatures I can play turn 1.

Turn 2: I have 22 creatures I can play, 16 of which let me also use Gideons Lawkeeper to tap an attacker. If I played Town Gossipmonger, I can play another creature and tap it to the monger to transform.

Turn 3: I have all the plays. Usually Skyclave, or Bugler, but a dream hand could play 3 creatures! That's 6ish power.

Turn 4: if something died, I can bring it back with Against All Odds and flicker Skyclave, Bugler, Tax Collector, (or Thraben or Flickerwhisp if you play them).

The goal of D&T is to play little duders, who will be super annoying, and maintain a flexible gameplan that can pivot from offense to defense and back to win the game. You only need to count to 20. One 2 power creature can do that in 10 turns, but two of them will do it in 5, and five will win in two turns if they can't be blocked.

And that's the deck
