Has anyone said Thalia?
Thalia.
I see people using the term "tier deck" to describe what Pox is not. I don't have anything nice to say about so-called tier decks, except that a lot of people play those decks. When really smart...
Mono-white is the direction I'd tend to go, not only because I don't own most of those red cards. I was also thinking about a Meekstone, semi-control element in an otherwise aggro deck. Something...
Yeah, thanks for this. That makes a lot of sense, and I could see that saving someone (like me) a lot of time and aggravation learning this the hard way. Unfortunately (or fortunately, maybe, if...
Not making it. :(
Will try to make it. I'm motivated for Legacy and am happy that the weather looks decent (I sat around with wet feet for seven hours last Saturday). But I have out-of-town friends staying with me...

The BG Pox lists started cropping up a lot more just after Abrupt Decay was available, which makes sense. Abrupt Decay, Maelstrom Pulse, Pernicious Deed, Life from the Loam, possibly Sylvan Library...
feline, could you offer up what you think might be an optimal mono-black decklist for the NW regional or national event meta right now?
Basically, I've put aside BG Pox and Armageddon Stax, so I'm...
Whoah! I like this. A Commander card in Legacy? Not sure if it's good, but it is different and interesting.
Quiet in the BG Pox thread as of late. Are a lot of Pox players jumping over to some sort of BUG list? It looked like Abrupt Decay would be a huge help to this deck, and it seems like its been very...
Filth is a creature with Swampwalk that's been suggested for Pox decks, though I've not tested it.
I hear ya, but I just think that Judge's Familiar has more pertinent matchups in the meta I've been playing in: RUG Delver and combo specifically. I'd want Dryad Militants in my board, not in the...
It's always fun to be able to tap a fetchland or even, say, a Maze of Ith for black mana. It's also cool if you're playing a Swampwalk creature.
Vengeful Pharaoh works, yes. But maybe not well enough and not enough of the time. It is perhaps "too cute." It's really more of a defensive card, and something that has to be played around, sort...
I played BG Pox yesterday at another event at Card Kingdom in Seattle. It was a 31-person event I think, and I went 1-3-1. I didn't play brilliantly, but I think I'm learning a thing or two about...
Ugh.
Went 0-2 tonight (at Card Kingdom in Seattle), then got a bye, and decided not to wait around an hour to play one final round.
Lost Round 1 to Mono-Red Burn. Not a good matchup, and my...
I'll continue to give Raven's Crime a chance. Here's my list at the moment:
BG Pox
2 Nether Spirit
3 Liliana of the Veil
4 Abrupt Decay
2 Cursed Scroll
Abrupt Decay adds a lot to this. BG Pox was good enough for a SCG top 4 this past spring. Now I think it's much better.
It's that top 4 finish that put this deck on my radar. The deck belonged...
I'd argue the Flickerwisps are redundancy. They'll vial in to bounce a Thalia or Mangara, but better than Karakas does. Like Mangara, they're another way to get stuff out of the way. Like Mom,...
Thanks to both of you. :smile:
Makes sense. Thanks.
Follow up question then: why is Phyrexian Revoker different? If an opponent doesn't remove Jitte counters before the Revoker resolves, when it resolves and I name the...
I think I need help with this one:
My opponent has Umezawa's Jitte equipped with two charge counters on it.
I cast Flickerwisp, I pause to see if it resolves, it does, and I point to the Jitte,...
