My most recent Pox list included 4 ensnaring bridge and went way too heavy on lilianas. I think bridge was incredible overall. Rest of the deck needed work and I am currently finding a way to improve...
Tabernacle is a fairly clear favorite for many reasons.
1. It compliments the mana denial and creature removal plan very well.
2. It ports over to other decks like Lands, 12 Post or some Vintage...
DnT can be a tough match up if they have vial. If you have things like engineered plague or dread of night you should be fairly favored if you draw them. Cursed scroll and night of souls betrayal...
How do you like Bog in the main? I presume it is a hedge to use in combination with beseech against graveyard based combo. Honestly doesn't seem great to me, but if it has worked for you then I may...
Against storm I was able to take tendrils.
Against mono red stompy I removed Chandra.
Against Czech Pile I took out Jace.
It doesn't "win" on its own, it does however remove the more...
Personally I lean more towards removal in the main. More often than not it feels relevant to me as my meta is fairly light on combo. Currently I am on 4 Inquisition, 3 Hymn and 4 Liliana of the Veil....
Pretty simple to remove a Diabolic Edict for the 3rd decay and then drop the 2 from the board. 3 Brutality is likely too much, but if it has worked for you then that is great.
I there for this, you got super lucky that he was playing the wasteland game against you when he should have been developing his mana base.
List seems sweet. Actually makes me excited about Pox...
If it means a flipped delver is dealing 1 damage a turn instead of 3 that increases their clock by up to 19 turns which is definitely relevant. I usually pair last hope with night of souls betrayal...
I have been thinking about that as well since I'm on last hope at the moment. I may start splitting up numbers to try and get both online. Seems powerful though it might be worth it to explore...
I think you want to have some number of collective brutality i would trim a lingering souls and fatal push for them.
I wouldn't splash a third color personally. Makes the man's very unstable. If...
I will follow up with the fact that Oppression is not even remotely comparable to Chains. Oppression doesn't punish top deck cantrips when the opponent is hellbent. At least Underworld Dreams turns...
Pox + The Rack are a great way to clock and cripple an opponent.
This could lead to Mishra's factory becoming swamps or dakmor salvage.
Innocent blood also kills a True-Name Nemesis which is something to think of. Although having some targeted removal is nice.
Nether void isn't usually my go to vs burn. On average their spells are cheaper and they can potentially play through a nether void more effectively than you can. Trinisphere is fine though. You...
I'm not sure why anyone would ever cut cursed scroll. It's a staple for sure and gives us the ability to scroll end of turn to try and kill mentor, if they can save it you can follow up on upkeep or...
Ankh of Mishra is perfectly fine vs Miracles. A lot of their control comes from selection from tops and fetchlands. Each fetch being a 5 point loss of life is great.
Sometimes storm just has hands like that. Depending on what was in your opponents hand it may have been correct to take a ritual rather than a tutor. If he has 2 or 3 lands and he can't actually...
Tribal match ups are a slog pre board for sure, but very winnable. Post board there is no reason to ever not include Engineered Plague and that really shores that up a lot. As for the storm match up;...
So personally I dislike 4 vindicate. The mana cost and the color requirements can be tough at times. I run mox diamond over ritual and still have issues producing white on occasion.
I don't think...
Not sure that I can approve of Nether Spirit in this decklist since you have a lot of other creatures that you want to put into your yard. I like the scourge with bloodghast interaction. It would be...
Really depends on the board, knowledge of what your opponent is trying to do, etc. If you are against sneak and show I 100% agree with aggressive smallpox casting.
Rest in Peace may be better. Since it works as an additional win condition I could just side out tombstalkers and Nether Spirit for it.
I do run Swords to Plowshares over Innocent Blood mostly...
I will note that the Leyline/Helm package out of the board is old tech and I would not recommend it to anyone. Maybe with additional lands or something but it wasn't appealing when I tested it.
