THIS AGGRO DECK IS SPICY! RW Ajani Cats (Boros Death and Taxes / D&T- Legacy MTG)

[@callumvlex7059]

I was sitting looking up these cards on scryfall, then like a fool, I remembered the sponsor of today's video, and just looked at the decklist

[@Chatot4444]

Not sure if you saw this in the video, but Pinnacle Monk is there as a red land you can tutor with Recruiter

[@ThrabenUniversity]

Ah, I guess that's reasonable.

[@Fyrefrye]

Cats and Taxes. Ooooor when abbreviated... just "CAT" Yes. This is now the definitive CAT deck.

[@naynaybTV]

Phil! The copy of bonus round you missed wasn’t obvious, but it’s a pretty common legacy ruby storm line, so I thought I’d explain. With sufficient mana and a copy of burning wish in hand, the first bonus round is often a deterministic line. Bonus round copies burning wish, you get bonus round and confluence. Bonus round copies bonus round, giving you 3 resolved bonus rounds. This copies confluence three times plus the original, dealing 24 total damage. With a reducer in play, this is effectively a two card combo that costs 8 mana in a deck playing seething song with reducer. TL;DR: Bonus round copies itself if it’s the second bonus round of the turn.

[@ThrabenUniversity]

Oh, duh, that's so obvious in retrospect. Thanks!

[@anthonystrapp6359]

You said that aether vial is power crept out of legacy, I'm curious what you would replace the aether vials with in current d&t? I think most 5-0 lists still run a playset. Would you add more threats, maybe archon of emeria or anointed peacekeepers, or main deck more paths to exile? Id really appreciate your feed back, i love d&t and you were an inspiration to me starting out

[@ThrabenUniversity]

I don't think you remove it from the D&T deck, but I think you need a *really* good reason to be registering D&T on any given weekend right now.

[@GianMarcoPagano-yp4kb]

The list was originally engineered by Cesc_95 so i think a mention should have been deserved here

[@ThisGuyChris]

Against the double painter, did you not want to play Flickerwisp on the Urza's Saga to buy a turn? (Round 4 pre sideboard)

[@LucksackGames]

6:29 I might be wrong here, but can't you attack with broadside and then evoke solitude and throw it?

[@ThrabenUniversity]

Sure, but I wasn't concerned with short-term damage at this stage. I wanted that Kaldra in play, which represents a serious problem for the opponent.

[@LucksackGames]

@@ThrabenUniversity Fair. Just curious if the broadside clock is faster after throwing solitude, as they would be at 9. Just a consideration for a line, love the videos always.

[@alexmaragh7766]

i love phil just skipping over the summoning the horse on spear of Lionidas

[@Graatand]

Match 1 game 2, didn’t opponent punt by not stifling the Spear of Leonidas trigger? They’d probably still lose, but they weren’t playing to their outs.

[@aringrey]

seems we are seeing more of the big mana decks like round 3 post grief banning. Confirmation Bias? Do you think Grief was keeping those decks down?

[@joeaquilino19]

Wise use of wastelands game one i think alot of people could not have the foresight to see the board in the potential light and sort of always press the shining button. It showed an amount of forbarence rare in players.

[@levelup7666]

What’s your opinion on painter in the post-grief metagame? Specifically, do you think that the mono-blue PainterCast list you 5-0’d with is better than Rakdos Painter?

[@ThrabenUniversity]

I think red painter is much better than blue right now due to Pyroblasts killing Murktide, Tamiyo, and Frog.

[@hunterstrong3318]

Hey phil have we thought of using frog in an echoes shell?

[@Lunamowon]

high noon in this decks sideboard would be awesome

[@rusty8785]

Kassandra looks sweet

[@hunterstrong3318]

Can stiflenaught overtake the frog?

[@Lykrast]

Oh shit it's Kassandra and a Spear of Leonidas!!!

[@dekina1198]

cats and taxes!

[@DolphinDingus]

Would you ever consider boarding in the pyroblasts as more removal/countermagic against painter?

[@ThrabenUniversity]

Consider? Yes. Do? Probably not. I am not the biggest fan of boarding in a highly situational card like that, but in moments of desperation or when I have minimal sideboard elements, I've done it.

[@mememaster5748]

Feels weird being here so early

[@data_abort]

That was a good one.

[@ReyaadawnMTG]

Whenever I see builds like this I always wonder why we're not running just 1 copy of Winota.

[@TheQueerLeaf99]

Nice
