Do you think is worth take 4 cages in sideboard over rest in peace (cuttint all rip)?.
Playing cages is the only possibility we have to beat Hoogark, because R.I.P is too slow. Cages gives us hate vs hoogak, UR phoenix (and maybe mono red phoenix), COCO decks and dredge (However, rip is better against dredge becuase they play ancient grudge).
Im gonna play a big tournament next week and im not sure about what list play. I want play WB eldrazi and taxes, but i expect a lot of jund, UR phoenix, UW control and hoogak. So, do you think is worth move to Mono white eldrazi and taxes?. I would win better mana base (more basic for blood moon) and more value cards vs midrange and control (like restoration angel, blade splicer and wall of omens).
EDIT: Here my posible list:
4 Giver of Runes
3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
4 Leonin Arbiter
4 Tidehollow Sculler
4 Eldrazi Displacer
4 Flickerwisp
3 Wasteland Strangler
4 Thought-Knot Seer
Yeah you have reason guys. The fourht giver of runes is awesome (it helps a lot in control matchups and is usefull vs agresive matchups, because it gives protections in blocks), so we need all lands untaped.
Initially I cut a thidehollow sculler, but i feel we need all disruption we can afford, so i cut the fourht Thalia in is place.
The benefit of Shambling is that it has lifelink, is a good blocker and it helps in grind matchups like control or BGx midrange. However, i feel comfortable with this mana configuration.
Im thinking about what is the correct number of giver of Runes/Silent clearing in Eldrazi and Taxes. I think that in mono white taxes we can play 4/4 because we have more density or threaths and we only play white. However, in Eldrazi and taxes I´m testing 3 giver of runes (i think we need the fourth slot open) and 3 Silent Clearing because we need the colorless mana for thought know-seer and displacer.
what do you think about the number of giver of runes and silent clearing?. Maybe we can cut one caves of koilos and take the third shambling or fourht silent clwaring (but i think 4 copies are too much).
Hi everyone. I will play a hard tournament in two months (GP) and im looking for a good modern deck to play. I had played control in modern for years, and now i dont think that play control is a good option, because the metagame is very open and there are a lot of differents decks to face. On the other hand, i dont like the recent UW control decks with planeswalkers and URx variants are very poor now.
Im thinking to play Eldrazi and taxes or mono white taxes. I have enought time to play and test hard the archetype.
Masters of the deck, what do you think about this deck right now in the meta?. I think is versatile and flexible, and it´s a good midrange deck. But I need opinions about it.

what do you think about the number of giver of runes and silent clearing?. Maybe we can cut one caves of koilos and take the third shambling or fourht silent clwaring (but i think 4 copies are too much).
