60 cards Boros death and taxes. The reason to play the deck is to punish the greedy manabase of this format. Magus of the Moon will be our main form of hate piece (although I'm more then open to cut some copies of other cards to make room for an actual blood moon), we can tutor it up with recruiter of the guard and hopefully punish leyline bindings decks. I've given up on yorion since I always feel like the powerful cards you get access to when you play him (especially in the flex slots) add row power but are not necessarily disruptive or sinergistic enough. I always felt like the power of death and taxes lies in how strong its hate pieces lign up in the meta game, and the frequency of drawing a specific hate piece in a 80 card deck is really bad. Felidar guardian and Kiki jiky are here because I feel like outside of hammer time, stoneforge isn't good enough a only beatdown wincon and I can tutor them with recruiter. I've cut my skyclave apparitions for 3 reasons mainly: 1 they don't answer ragavan fast enough 2 they don't answer creativity tokens 3 I felt like it was worth giving up a bit of sinergy in favor of playing prismatic ending, wich answers both creativity tokens and ragavan without clashing too much with Thalia. In the sideboard I have mainly addressed Cascade decks, Izzet murktide, a couple of Hallowed Moonlight for creativity as well as a containment priest and call it a day. We should be having enough answers for all of the metagame, rakdos scams can easily defeat us with discard but if manage to follow up their shenanigans with Sanctifier we should at least have a chance.

My main questions are: 1 is worth giving up on some sinergy to play ragavan? I'd immagine I'd cut an ephemerate a wall a sentinel and something in the flex slot to play the full playset. 2 i really want to play fury but I'm scared I have to few red cards for him, even if we included ragavan I'd have to cut some other etbs creatures giving up on another copy of ephemerate, which would be pretty good with fury. Also maybe we are already pretty decent against the deck fury is good vs (except maybe goblin). 3) is sword of hearth and home any good? If I cut it should I go for traditional Batterskull or Sff (given the weakness of this deck to scam) ? 4)any other ideas?
