    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Spending 3 mana every turn just to deal 2 damage seems incredibly inefficient. I would personally swap it with Sedgmoor Witch if I want a grindy threat or Rotting Regisaur as a fast cheap finisher...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Court of Ambition works great with Ensnaring Bridge. Thats the reason we are discussing Bridge/Noetic Scales.

    Adding creatures to a Bridge/Scales deck doesnt make sense.

    I would recommend...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Noetic Scales could be quite good with Court of Ambition as additional Ensnaring Bridges as well. Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage for an additional Liliana of the Veil and The Rack effect. And Waste Not...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I think this might be the correct route to take the deck. The reason I say that is that there is a ton of built in internal synergy in every card the deck plays...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Almost every single competitive deck in the format plays atleast a handful of basic lands.

    The few that don't likely will now that Treasure Cruise got the boot and thus Wasteland makes a...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Thank you. I was aware of that. This also works with Bottomless Pit with the current oracle wording. That was the reason I opted to go up to 4 Bottled Cloister and felt I could make use of a full...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Great post. I didn't realize this. Its a shame Null Brooch cant deal with creatures. Given this, Im going to forget about Null Brooch. I think, like you suggested earlier, I will instead maindeck 2...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Awesome suggestion. Null Brooch sounds like it could work. It combos very well with Bottled Cloister but at the same time, it competes with Cloister for the few flex slots. Im not sure if the deck...

    My tentative sideboard thus far includes
    4 Leyline of Sanctity
    4 Oppression
    4 Toxic Deluge
    3 Dark Ritual

    I could see maindecking a couple of Toxic Deluge (superior to Black Sun's Zenith) if...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I was going back and forth on Dark Ritual vs. Mind Stone.

    Currently, aggro control seem to be on the rise thanks in part to Nemesis. The threats those decks play are fairly large and often stopped...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    IMO, Loam/Crucible/Mox don't add anything valuable to the deck. They have a role in lists that also care about land destruction and play Wasteland/Sinkhole, but in a deck like this that is...

    No, havent tested Waste Not as they havent yet printed the card. Definitely will once its out though.

    Shrieking Affliction seems amazing. Honestly had no idea that card even existed. Makes me want to scrap Haunted Plate Mail for it, up the discard count and also make room for some Ensnaring Bridge. ...

    Well said Claymore.

    I have found Noetic Scales to be absolutely amazing in this deck ever since Liliana was printed, but it's gotten even better since Sneak and Show, Abrupt Decay and True Name...

    In reference to my list on the previous page, Im curious why Noetic Scales based lists never took off. That card is absolutely brutal in the current format, and Pox is completely immune to it.
