I'm sorry, but this is just downright horrible logic. The opportunity cost of adding an oops I win combo (or alternatively, a way to close out the game without needing 8-9 turns for bloodghast /...

If I was playing UB pox I would certainly not play cards like Force of Will or Spell Pierce. Things I envision blue offering:

JTMS - Do I need to say anything?
Snapcaster Mage - I would only run...

Are you serious? Obviously, anyone posting here has some affinity for the namesake card, but decks evolve over time. a UB prison / resource denial deck would still belong here IMO. Its running...

Seems like some very cool plays. Is there a card in black that can be abused with Jace minus ability since its not technically "flashback"? For example, can cast invigorate for alternate cost out...

Who is they? This UB pox list sounds awesome!!

I don't know if I agree with that. Life from the Loam allows you to cast smallpox more aggressively and create CA out of it much easier.

No doubt there is utility, but without the ability to win out of nowhere it makes you wonder if its worth it since you already have Entomb / Loam to find your special lands and Bojuka Bog is really...

If you ultimately ditched the DD Combo would you still run crop rotations main?

Josh how much has your list changed since you top 8'd that SCG? Are you running DD/Thespians in your 75?

I wouldn't run Mox Diamond in a Cascade deck, but thats just me. Cascading into Smallpox seems pretty cool, kind of like casting Smallpox with a Young Pyromancer on board.

I just reread your post and I still don't see any mention of effects threatening the resolution of the Hymn.



Not following your math here at all. If an opponent has 4 cards in hand I have a...

I don't agree, there is upside to hitting lands, yes, but thats somewhat of a strawman argument on your part- you ignored the rest of what Tescrin said.

1. In the scenario you described you're...

I don't see how hymn first is better value in a vacuum? See below for my thoughts exactly.

I would go down to 8 hand disruption spells (4 1cc of your preference, 4 Hymn), remove Rack (4), add Dark ritual (4), add a Nether Spirit, and then add whatever you want in the remaining slots, in...

I think you have too much hand disruption, it looks more like modern 8 rack lists. Ob Nixilis seems clunky at 5 mana and no dark rituals. I don't see why not just include 1 Nether Spirit in there...

Nope ;)

Ah, I think I know the card ;)

Is the tech card from Tempest Block?

Um, what? Hymn is bad against fast decks, and better against slower strategies. if im facing aggro, I don't know if i have a turn to spend all my mana attacking your hand when im getting my face...

Its hard to say what order you should buy cards in because you can build rack pox, land destruction pox (both mono black), or BG pox. If I were investing in Legacy I'd be sure to pick up Wastelands...

Josh,

I took your list to a small legacy event last night. I didn't think the lock mechanisms of loam pox were as strong as mono black or BW. I REALLY missed cursed scroll...and I'm used to...

The biggest surprise to me was 0 sinkholes!!

In a deck with 3 pernicious deeds in its 75, 0 moxes and 0 scrolls is not surprising. Dark ritual outside of the mono B shell can be awkward...The...

Any reason that Holy Pox gets no love? I honestly think its the best version (tested loam pox and mono black). With Vindicate you can even do the mana denial plan against decks with basics with a...
