We spend this week looking at an up-and-coming deck in Modern: Mono-White Taxes. We spend some time looking at the history of Taxes decks, how this deck works, and if we think it's actually that good. Before that we breeze through some Modern Challenge and Qualifier results from Magic Online.The Break Down: Challenging TournamentsThe Dive Down: Challenging SandwichesThe Dive Down, cont: Challenging PlaypatternsBecome a citizen of The Dive Down Nation!: http://www.patreon.com/thedivedownGet 15% off your first 3 months of ManaTraders! https://www.manatraders.com/?medium=thedivedown and use code "thedivedown"Timestamps:2:36 - Housekeeping7:26 - The Break Down begins16:01 - Meta takeaways19:45 - The Dive Down begins - Auditing Mono-White Taxes21:45 - Why do people want this deck to work?28:14 - The older Modern Taxes decks35:10 - Why Death & Taxes is back40:55 - The general anatomy of D&T45:23 - Our initial takes51:45 - The one-drops57:30 - The two-drops1:08:20 - The three-drops1:25:00 - Land destruction1:30:15 - How to play with Stoneforge Mystic and the equipment1:38:34 - Sideboarding1:39:43 - Is Taxes good?Links from this week's episode:The Modern Qualifier: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/tournament/modern-champs-12223552#paperSunday's Challenge: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/tournament/modern-challenge-12223585#paperSaturday's Challenge: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/tournament/modern-challenge-12223580#paperMono-White Taxes: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/3519870#paperOur opening music is Nowhere - You Never Knew, and our closing music is Space Blood - Goro?
