Yeah I agree that any black deck almost needs 1 Deluge main and probably 1 in the side right now.

I don't think Scroll Rack works well with Pox as you are often hellbent. Guile or Sylvan Library should work. Library can give you extra dredges, Guile can't.

I am intrigued by Lost Legacy as well.

If you really need more cheap threats, could just up the manland count? Add Mutavault maybe? I still like Tombstalker too, but I know you said you wanted something different

Phyrexian Totem is...

Definitely interesting after a Smallpox, or even a Wasteland

The main reason I haven't gone 4 smallpox is that I can't cast it after I make a ML token, but I guess that should usually end the game anyway

My List deviates a bit from a traditional Pox plan. I use Dark Depths as a win con with Living Wish and Loam to assemble it. I am also playing Mox Diamond and Chalice of the Void to get that Chalice...

I'm on B/g loam pox. Not sure what your question is asking since you said 3 both times. Right now I have 3 hymn, 2 sinkhole and 2 smallpox at BB I believe

I just run 2x Sinkhole for extra/Basic land destruction

I think more sinkholes helps, but Hymn is still a great card, especially early. I play mox diamond, and often play Hymn on T1 off a diamond and its pretty backbreaking, even if they are a cruise deck

I don't think I have tested vs Miracles yet. I may be too reliant on the wishboard at times, but they are fun to play with. The overall list and board could probably still use some refining

Vs...

I play loam-chalice-wish pox. I think it works great with the depths combo finish. This is the approximate list I've been using, but im constantly tweaking it. My friend won our legacy tourney using...

Yeah I think I do need some straightforward sideboard cards in the board too. Some games I wanted to take out a lot of removal (vs ANT) and barely had anything decent to side in.


Went 2-2

I'll be playing Loam Pox tonight are our LGS legacy tourney. Will try to report the games after.

Here's the list I am running. Can't remember the last SB card off hand.


Mana
1 Barren Moor...

Think Bile Blight could be worth using?

Smallpox only hurts without Young Pyro out

To anyone playing the Living Wish version, what do you think of Necroplasm as a wish fetchable mass removal? First turn you have him out he kills all YP tokens

good point for UR matchups. Ill have to track down a couple

Would Murderous Cut be better than Spinning Darkness?

I do run 2 chains in the SB (though only because we allow proxies at our LGS for legacy). Uba Mask is a pretty crazy card. What happens when they cast brainstorm? they exile 3 and still have to put 2...

Hey Beez, I am running a similar pox list. I still think chalice on 1 is the way to go in these lists, but I have been considering things like Unmask or Distress for a thoughtseize type effect that...

This is why I'm a big fan of Loam Pox variants over mono black. Pox's weakness is capitalizing on the created card/resource advantage

I have been moving towards Loam/Depths/Chalice Pox recently, as its a lot quicker to finish out the game with Marit Laige than other pox threats. The deck is a bit clunky, but jamming out a chalice...

I've thought about Abyssal Persecutor in that role as well, since pox/small/innocent blood can get rid of him for you once you have their life total down.
