This deck is another possible option for Urza's Saga possibly, replacing Mishra's Factory
- Soulguide Lantern / Relic
- Cursed Scroll
- The Rack
- Meekstone

Goes well with Crucible too

To some extent of course it depends on what the rest of your hand is. If you have other removal already then letting them keep the delver is (more) ok. Taking daze is fine to make sure your opponent...

The dynamics of counterspells vs discard are too different I think, you can't just characterize them both as "0 mana one-for-two to answer my opponent's card"

- "The tempo aspects are not the...

I do think it could be a really good card for the mono B reanimator / depths deck
- Unmask is more realistically a card that you want to play
- You have reanimate spells in the deck to reanimate...

Im prepared to eat my words here but I don't think the card is good in pox at all

The deck really does not want to 2-for-1 itself to make this kind of trade so the unmask half of the card seems...

List looks pretty solid, not trying too much fancy stuff
- Kind of surprised the 2BB Liliana is good enough but I guess the +1 is a pretty solid wincon and it helps you get the bonus from Triumph...

Sedgemoor Witch an interesting SB option for this deck as a relatively cheap / efficient threat that dodges your own smallpox

Yes and I'm trying to tell you that when one of the most popular examples of the "high cmc stuff" being played in the current meta is a creature that repeatedly comes back from the graveyard and...

Yes I think Feed the Swarm / Mire in Misery (probably feed) is a good choice to anticipate a meta with a lot of Sylvan Library
Chains of Mephistopheles could also be reasonable
I would avoid...

That is the style of list I think is good (well, good for a Pox deck)
With the Oko ban it's more reasonable again to play stuff like Cursed Scroll, Ensnaring Bridge, Crucible of Worlds etc e.g....

I think Plague Reaver could be very strong in a version of the deck that emphasizes Loam
- Loam lets you refill your hand to discard cards to this
- In a Loam deck you probably have tutors for...

tldr: Yes
(When you cast cling it goes from the graveyard to the stack, then cling will resolve and go back into your graveyard, but as a new/different object than the one the Surgical originally...

I meant Dark Realms, definitely not enough tribal synergy for the other one
I think Davriel is okay, but there is a lot of competition for that space on the curve (Crucible of Worlds, Ensnaring...

It's probably better than the other 4-mana Liliana but idk if that's enough of a reward for what you're paying for it
It might be worse than Davriel even

Vengevine + Pox is a joke idea

The problems with Buried Alive are that

A) you have to put Buried Alive in your deck and also put multiple graveyard-based threats in your deck for the card to...

It doesn't actually have flying, unfortunately
(The art looks kind of floaty I guess but it's pretty typical for these kinds of ghostly shades to not fly)

If you only want to play 1 or 2 of them it might be better than ghast just because the kicker can be relevant late and it has more power.
If you want to play a lot of these it starts to look a bit...

I'm happy to explain

Karn doesn't have any ability like flashback or escape, so you have to play him out of your hand. This means that if he's the last card in your hand and you don't have 4 mana...

Cling to dust should be a very good card for this archetype.

If you don't expect to have 6 mana for lattice then I guess you just have to go for the liquimetal plan with Karn, but I agree that 4...

Part of the value of playing DOW in Snow control decks is that it doesn't kill your own Strixes and 3/3 Astrolabes (and you also have your own astrolabes to increase snow count).
Without these...

Vampire Hexmage is also an acceptable answer to Chalice from monoblack decks (the only issue here is that it conflicts with Nether Spirit, but it also has flexibility as an anti-PW option if you want...

4 Kroxa is way too many because it's not a good card to cast (RB for ravens crime OR lava spike? Yuck) and you don't have enough self-mill to support escaping multiple
That's also a lot of 3drops...

True, but oko and veil are also pretty annoying
I think as long as Oko is a relevant card it gives enchantment-based options a significant upside compared to artifacts (even moreso than previous...

I think the main problem with this idea is that a prison-style deck probably doesn't want to take the tempo loss of spending a mana to cycle a card in the early turns of the game. Lines like Turn 1...

You want Plague Engineer against decks that have small creatures, which means that you want to also want to kill your opponent's creatures with Innocent Blood / Smallpox (which eats your own...
