Hello all:
Prior to War of the Spark, I had spent a significant amount of time trying to dial in Pox and I had come up with a build which I had put together a significant winning percentage with....
I think I may do the clean swap of Bitterblossom and Tabernacle. Although, that would put me down to 23 "lands", Tabernacle is so rarely a mana source. I've considered Kaya, Ghost Assassin, Liliana...
Hey all:
I'm going to be trying out BW pox in Legacy. First time running the white splash since the days of UR delver with Treasure Cruise. The deck obviously got crushed by UR delver, and...
Collective Brutality has been amazing. I don't really miss Hymn at all. The other CA engines have been effective enough and they all tend to be able to hone in more precisely against your opponent...
Played in a 5 round 1k today.
Went 3-2 officially, but scooped to me friend with a 1-0-1 record at the end of our match in the 3rd round, we were in our third game at time. More on that match below....
Worm's Harvest. Oh the fun.
What do you all think of Choke in the sideboard?
Also, are there any cards I'm not thinking of that are good versus storm/show and tell that would be good for GB sideboard?
Honestly that's my current plan. I never really mind 61. What are thoughts on my sb choices?
Sorry - I missed this post. Cursed Scroll is great. Considering your ditching your hand to brutality, smallpox and liliana - it's often active. And it functions as a CA engine vs small creature decks.
So I've tweaked this list just in the sideboard to include a couple more silver bullets in the board. I kept the Cursed Scroll and Sylvan Library in the MD even though they don't play well with...
I agree top is much, much better - especially with Deed. I actually am running two nonbo cards alongside the deeds: library and Cursed scroll. I could imagine removing Sylvan Library even thought it...
That seems like valuable meta info! I had never consider running straight black - red. I've considered black green red a la Kennen Haas.
Ok so I posted a brief tourney report and this deck feels very strong!
Some card choices I made differently than you that felt really good:
Sylvan Library. The combo of Library and Loam was pretty...
Just went 3-2 at my weekly with this list :
3 Bloodghast
1 Nether Spirit
1 Cursed Scroll
=5
1 Raven's Crime
2 Cabal Therapy
3 Thoughtseize
Thanks for the reply. I'm glad to see that there's some debate over Mox Diamond because I can't figure it out or the life of me.
What's your win % with the deck? Where do you struggle?
This is what I've come up with after evaluating your list. I removed the Sylvan Library from main and side for the 1 Entomb and crop rotation. Added the Cabal Pit and Bog. Kept the pushes and...
Pernicious Deed is appealing because, in certain scenarios, one can just cast it asap and hold it up for the rest of the game for instant speed interactions whereas Toxic Deluge will always be...
Hey Josh! Thanks for the input. I'm glad you shared your thoughts on Mox Diamond. That card confuses me the most in Pox builds. I would tend to agree, but do you find that without it that we cannot...
Thanks for the input, would you mind sharing your list? The interaction you're referring to, pitching Bloodghast to collective brutality, is definitely what I'm trying to maximize. I definitely...
Good critique. So let's move away from Mishra's Factory and replace with colored sources. And, if Mox Diamond doesn't make the cut, add in 1 to 2 more sources.
Hello all:
I'd like some assistance on a concept. Some time back (I cannot find the post for reference), another Pox enthusiast bangled toward a list that doubled down on smallpox in the...
FWIW, there's old school heavy control bug lists that are basically:
Veteran explorer, cabal therapy, Innocent blood, deed, jace and liliana.
They are really fun lists. And, while not truly...
I see that most of you run Ob Nixilis, Reignited . I am of the Mind that Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath is the better option. I will admit that the card draw on ONR is appealing, and the...
Played a 4 round weekly with this list:
1 Nether Spirit
2 Cursed Scroll
1 Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath
=4
4 Smallpox
4 Liliana of the Veil
3 Sinkhole
A lot of your reasoning is why I'm trying mono black next. Fatal Push is brand new and could deal with those awkward death and taxes matchups where targeted and instant speed removal is absolutely...
