Yes, The Rack is the direction the build goes.
And I'll just say it again: Karn looks like a busted card, I just think you build a better deck than Pox around that :4: yknow? Tutoring for...
Stuffed Bear is better than the turtle that saw play forever, and situationally better than Phyrexian Totem, ....which probably isn't played either anymore.
Mardu Shadowspear looks cute,...
Thanks for the response! I saw Regisaur, and he's a big boi for sure, but Plague Reaver looks like it's set up to abuse Ensnaring Bridge maybe? I'm not quite ready to go all-in on that.
Saw the...
Oh boy, here I go again!
Looks like it's been 12 years since I was active here, no clue about meta, but I feel like buying a couple cards again.so I read the last 50+ pages of the thread to get...
@OmniStrata
Although I agree about the evasion being only a bonus, Hardcore's list doesn't seem like it runs quite enough discard to take full advantage of Nyxathid. In his list, The Rack seems...
Pretty sexy list man. IF ONLY the card said "or sideboards" it would be really powerful :tongue:
@Dwell, "I disagree about the LD path."
Yeah, it's really a philosophical difference. I reason...
Oh, that's right, my bad. Scroll, Rack, Needle, yeah. I like being prepared.
Good point on the New (Old) Legend rule for Urborg, too, Beez; they keep going back & forth on that!
And I made...
@Dwell
Abrupt Decay won't hit Jace (or other 4cc enchantments), and you don't have a lot of creatures to deal with him otherwise... Disfigure should probably be a sweeper instead (infest, perish),...
I actually ran that as a 3-of in my pox list with Arenas in the Source Tourney ... 3 or 4 years ago? It was okay, but mana-hungry. I'd lose games with my opponent at 1 or 2 life. The list also had...
Mana cost isn't more than HPM as a one of, and the occasional 'Stalker can cost 4 also. It's a terrible idea if you have fewer than 20 basic swamps, of course. I think the point of having an Oblit...
Ahhh, strictly better then :smile:
Re: Teeg
I wouldn't think of running more than one BSZ, backed up w/ perishes, but I wasn't thinking of Mr. Teeg, good point. I was thinking of the situation where you had a couple big critters that...
I'd be remiss in not echoing this truth.
@Hardcore
How is Negator doing? Do you ever consider HPM (probably not in a heavy creature build?) or Obliterator? Obviously you wouldn't want to run...
If it helps at all, I think it has something to do with how the software on the server authenticates a user's session. I had a Source thread open on my work laptop from home, and when I got to work...
Regarding his list, with Mox Diamonds he could run Academy Ruins :laugh:
Also, some people always have 4 Engineered Plagues, some don't. Pure meta choice, or is there math involved?
Right, I just can't see really leaving the mana open for it is all; although we're light on instants usually. I can't imagine wanting more than 2 in your 75, and it would be VERY meta-dependent.
...
I'm having trouble seeing your use case for this past the first few turns, when you want to be using :b::b: for Smallpox or Hymn.
But, I've got a pretty sexy 60 at the moment (yes, 4xSmallpox) for...
Yeah, I hear you. Just trying to break it, as always!
Although Smallpox hits a card-in-hand and a land, it also hits *your* card-in-hand and *your* land, so we could easily imagine a situation where Smallpox is card disadvantage. That is, Smallpox is...
@Hardcore
CMC=1 seems to be unavoidable. I wonder if we can afford to exclude the shrieking afflictions for other sources of damage. Then I remember than Cursed Scroll costs :1: also, and I decide...
I've been wondering about this, too; leaning hard on Discard & The Rack along with 'fatties' like Liliana and Oppression, in Mono:b:.
I've not had enough time to test, but the thinking goes...
Nice, Tlaloc. List? Matchups?
I think Pox lists have stayed away from Nether Traitor because by the time the creature dies, you usually don't have a mana open... But ... what if you did...
I do like how low you've managed to curve it. And you can't argue with the results! (Singleton Kozilek, Butcher of Truth for the sideboard against High Tide? haha)
Well, I hadn't tested it or anything, just thinking theoretically. In testing, though, I always seem to screw myself over nuking my own land & hand with smalls, unless I was casting the smallpox to...
