    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    It's challenging to teach over the internet, but it's how you cast the spells that helps in them losing the will to live. Your body language needs to convey that you're not here to win. You're not...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Not sure why only 1 Factory. If you're worried about making BB, an equal number of Urborgs covers that.
    Zero Wasteland is also strange, but if you're anticipating never seeing a Urza's Saga, then...

    I watched this, Anvil seemed too cute. Chains would be good if he didn't face 4 non-blue decks. Not understanding the interaction and playing both with an empty hand was definitely the highlight.

    I would be interested to know how many games the 20/20 won for him. No way to find the A or the B, seems like it would be a really scary threat your opponent would be occupied with handling,...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    5 for 1 is misleading, I apologize.

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Hey we're agreeing more and more :D

    I also think windmill slamming down Liliana of the Veil turn one is a bad play in the majority of situations. 4 for 1 is a bad trade, I agree. You could discard...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Okay, fair points.

    So turn one we're optioned into committing 5 cards (Swamp, Dark Ritual, Phyrexian Arena, Grief & pitch) to their 1 card and now over the next 4 turns we've reach parity again,...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    If you could expand on this I think it would be helpful. I'm understanding that we're casting this, trading a card in hand for +1 mana, to cast a CMC 2 or 3? So we're already past turn 1, the titular...

    Sho, is Liliana Waker of the Dead just because we can't run LotV #5 or do you have any special purpose otherwise?

    Can't comment on your meta, but Ashiok is borderline essential for me. Last night...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I didn't find Chain of Smog helpful at all. Pox already runs too many narrow cards that risk being dead against an unfavorable matchup that adding a borderline do-nothing card is just too much dead...

    Underworld Dreams isn't to combat Uro, just provides a clock that gets faster the more they try and dig out from. Off an early Dark Ritual it lets you play the Pox game while also winning the game, a...

    I am not running it currently.
    I would need to adjust out of combat win conditions to avoid self inflicted losses (besides the usual ones). I currently have only a single Cursed Scroll, and no way...

    I imagine you'd want to lose Smallpox then, since you'd need to consistently hit 3 mana and stay there, plus the whole sacrifice a creature part.

    I have 3 copies of The Elderspell split in my 75 which is pretty clean.
    Having 8 Planeswalkers of my own helps make it complete as an effect.
