This deck was made from the remnants of an old T1.5 deck and used as an example in a few blogs about deckbuilding I posted last year.Please draw a few hands and let me know what you think. Your opinion is welcome...
The simple way of playing the deck is:In your turn you will find that Devils, Loam, Guttersnipe and the artifacts end up drawing alot of counters and/or removal spells. That is not necessarily a bad thing as you can often set up the combo after your opponent blew up the wrong threat! Next: Use your white instants and drop some burn, then Fling a Fiend, (or Crusher), to finish the game if the Taxed Assault has not taken care of it yet. Zuran Orb and Shard Volley are both Tax triggers and Crusher/Loam feeders. A timely Path to Exile can also help Tax to trigger.Being banned from those wonderful Black tutors really hurts the quickness of this deck compared to its older sister. Enlightened Tutor grabs me the Tax or the Assault, (or a secondary card/sideboard hater), but that is about it.Although there is no defence in this deck for the combo, the Taxed Assault is such a beauty when you mix in the Orb, Loam and Paradise/Wasteland. However, don't forget that the deck is at heart merely a toaster and most times it wins without the Taxed Assault combo!The sideboard is very utilitarian in nature and is activated by swapping in the Wishes:Elepant Grass are sideboarded for dredge, reanimators and aggro types. Use Ravenous Trap for simple graveyard removal. Grafdigger's Cage adds an additional snag for Snapcasters and other flashbacks.Mindbreak Trap calms the storm and a well aimed Extirpate can cripple combos and mess with control. Fallout is a straight sweeper. Wear/Tear for some hate removal. As stated earlier; Price and Fireblast are situational game enders. The main decks Enlightened Tutors stay in the main and will help find the Cage and/or Elephant Grass in a timely fashion, everything else should be Wished for when needed.

land tax is great card.ive actually never seen it comined with seismac assualt. very cool.the maindeck enchantment hate seems odd, and fling seems odd too, but im sure, after swinging with a massive kiln fiend, flinging him for the win is a fine play.why play incinerate over lightning helix? the wishboard is cool. i only wish cunning wish was 2 mana, but what can ya do.

Its not so much enhantment hate as artifact removal. I see tons of turbo decks fueled with AEther Vial locally and I also know damned well that I will see hate in the form of enchantments as soon as they have a chance to sideboard, (and they also feed Guttersnipe and the Fiend). Incinerate over Helix for 2 reasons; non red mana is almost exclusively used during opponents turn to tutor or wish, only on rare occations does it get used for removal. Oh, and I dont have 4 Helix! :)A flung Fiend is actually how this deck normally delivers the kill, (surprisingly often in opponents turn), it was not intended to be that way but I'll take it.I love WishBoards. Both as having access to situational hosers and as a "safe haven" for key cards, (cant disrupt or Extirpate my sideboard).
i see, i seei like the interactions between land tax, seismic assault, life from the loam, wasteland, mox diamand, zuran orb, cruciblehahahaai really think this archetype has some serious potential !
One card easily overlooked in this deck is Undiscovered Paradise. It is incredibly powerful when mixed in with the cards you just mentioned, it has so many triggers and uses built into it when in this deck.You might get a kick out of knowing that I have a second version of this deck where the critters and Flings are replaced by cheap counters and Blue syphon/draw cards. That version offers quite a bit of protection and boy can you dig up the combos quick! ...and it runs smoothly with just a tiny tweek of the land mix.
