Hey long time no post, hope everyone is staying safe!
Still messing around with Loam Pox, here's my updated list.

It has pretty good...
Scrying Sheets as well..
I am an avid GB Loam Pox fan.
Life from the Loam is the true card advantage engine.
I second all of what Mr. Safety said, but in addition:
I would find room for:
3-4x Mox Diamond
1x Castle...
I'm still trying to tune a BG Loam Pox version.
Ultimately, it really needs Sensei's Divining Top... Mirri's Guile is the closest you can get imo.
A green or black Squee, the Immortal would be...
I usto run 2x Bloodghast as my free creature option.. pretty good at closing the game where you'd want Akuta imo...
Awesome report and nice tech!!
Few recommendations:
-1 Entomb, +1 Crop Rotation: Crop Rotation is a good instant speed tutor for lands like Bojuka Bog and Karakas.
-1 Barren Moor, +1 Bojuka...
Chalice is too much of a crutch I feel and if you aren't playing it t1, its pretty much a wasted card slot.
Plus, I like being able to "tutor" with cards like Entomb and Crop Rotation.
Having T1...
I could see testing some number of Stifle and 1-2 Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver as another form of attrition/wincon... shes easier to cast than Jace and fits better in a Pox strategy imo.
I agree that Loam Pox (BG version) needs its own thread... However, I feel people would conflate the idea with Lands or Jund Depths.
Its more similar to Jund Depths except it drops red/Punishing...
What's the consensus on Collective Brutality for match-ups like Burn?
Figure its better with the Bloodghast lists...
The "sad opportunity" was Adachi not drawing another land for five turns...
Even then he was still in the game and Lili ultimate was quite relevant @6:55 before he decides to concede.
He could've...
Hmm, its interesting to think Liliana of the Veil is not relevant in the Miracles matchup.
Although the Miracles player can quickly restock a depleted hand they still have to worry about her...
Tbh I feel like a well timed Smallpox is the most powerful thing the deck does...
What has been the consensus on cards like Waste Not and Empty the Pits?
I could imagine some Dark Ritual and Lake...
Is there dedicated Loam Pox thread around?
I come here all the time but feel like this is just not the thread for it....
I've come to realize its a different deck than what you guys are trying to...
I've had good success with Loam Pox at a few locals. Can share a list if your interested. No sinkholes doe..
4x Smallpox, 1x Life from the Loam and a 4cmc Planeswalker maindeck... you're never going to have mana to cast anything.
-Smallpox and Stage/Depths plan is only viable because of Life from the...
What you guys think of this Loam Pox mtgtop8 list?: http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=17049&d=305464&f=LE
Interesting tech with Buried Ruin...he runs atleast seven targets(including sideboard).
Ruin +...
Against Lands have you tried Surgical Extraction and Lost Legacy...even Coffin Purge? Once you deal with Life From the Loam, Lands becomes more than manageable...
I'm not sure if you run green,...
Definitely a tough matchup, Mox Diamond makes it a little more manageable.
How was Cursed Scroll?
This is my only "major" claim to fame with an much older version of the deck: http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=14378&d=285961&f=LE lol.
I mostly play once or twice a month at my LGS. Not that much...
Hey ClimbGneiss, I've been working on GB Pox for awhile and got inspired by Josh's Bloodghast/Cabal Therapy tech. But I disagree with him on Mox Diamond. Its not about acceleration, but more about...
Thanks, interesting indeed.
Link to this ruling plz
Hexmage is cool tech, seems like a deck for Volrath's Stronghold and Liliana, the Last Hope.
Just wanted to chime in on the Loam version of this deck.
Anyone try out some new tech or have current tourney reports?
I recently made some edits, took out 2x IOK and replaced with an additional...
