    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I'm going to continue tweaking Tamura Shigeyuki's W/B shell. I want to try to maximize the effectiveness of Collective Brutality, Bloodghast, and Lingering Souls in this list. This is what I'm going...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I really like this list. My one gripe would be that you don't have a way of dealing with Tombstalker and Nether Spirit both being in the graveyard. Maybe a copy of Murderous Cut, Spinning Darkness,...

    I haven't had a chance to pick up Liliana, the Last Hope yet but she definitely seems interesting with Dredge cards. I also used Tombstalker with Darkblast and it was potent. Plays nice with Delve...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Is anyone else playing Darkblast in their 75? A single copy in my board has felt great and it really does work as a makeshift Punishing Fire for mono black Pox. Active DRS can be annoying but it's...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    It looks like Reid Duke has picked Pox back up on MTGO. His list is very similar to his old builds with Waste Not and Fatal Push as the main new additions to the deck. He's also packing a set of Bobs...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I've been altering a W/B Pox brew that Tamura Shigeyuki used a while ago. Still tinkering around with a sideboard plan, but this is the main board I'm currently rolling with.

    3x Bloodghast

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I played a couple of matches on Thursday. I took down Elves 2-1 by stealing the last two games. I had a lot of disruption game one, but I never managed to find a Liliana or Cursed Scroll to control...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Is Lingering Souls actually making a comeback? I haven't seen many decks playing it on TCdecks so far. I think a 1-2(3) split between Dread of Night and Engineered Plague would be a good start. I...

    I know Tom Ross liked to draw when he was playing his Rack Pox deck a while back. For games 2&3, I understand the logic of wanting to get the extra card and keep the opponent from drawing one however...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    It's those moments where I would love to play Shadow of Doubt. That card always seems like it would be good, but when I actually test the card it's never in my hand even when I try three copies.

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Is it as flexible as Pithing Needle? No.

    However, it does hit multiple cards at once in a deck that loves to get 2 for 1s or better. The card wrecks Elves, against Loam it hits...

    I definitely like Collective Brutality's versatility however I don't think it's strong enough to cut Hymn or Sinkhole altogether for it. I mainly play it to recoup some of the life lost to...

    I was actually in the same boat with Nether Spirit. I've been on the Reid Duke list since I picked up the deck and I've really only meddled with the 3-4 flex slots he left in the deck. However, as a...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I've been practicing with a list that feels pretty good. My sideboard is still in flux but overall this version has shown solid consistency.

    7 x Swamp
    4 x Mishra's Factory

    Bingo. Contamination actually helps some of these decks cast their hate card against the lock piece. They can literally fetch Savannah or Tropical Island and still Abrupt Decay or Maelstrom pulse it...

    My point was that Sinkhole and Vindicate are more reliable than Contamination. There are just too many conditions and deckbuilding constraints that go along with the card. Back to Basics and Blood...

    That deck looks too cute to me. I like the WB version of Pox with Lingering Souls, but Contamination just feels like it's too hard to setup for the payoff. Blood Moon works because there are no...

    I think you're misunderstanding me a bit. I don't think you should just hold up the card for a chance to use it. If it's in your opening hand against Shardless and they suspend Vision turn one then...

    It's certainly better early, but I think you could argue that most sideboard cards are at their best within the first few turns. I don't think it's so bad to have to discard it to Liliana because...
