    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I lost to Burn round 1, but Trinisphere was good in both sideboard games, I just punted a block with a factory that I thought I could pump which cost me game 3.

    Round 2 I lost to the only Lands...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I'm playing in a medium sized tournament tomorrow and none of my decks are feeling terribly well positioned, so I'm going to run an untested build of Loam-Pox for the fun factor. I have lots of...

    Re: [DTB] Turbo Depths

    Is Karakas not seen in stock Miracles anymore? I have it in my list... Obviously Ghost Quarter/Wasteland can help, but it is a concern.

    Hot Coffee - 1 Land Frenzy Storm

    Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends!

    So there I was, trying to make Experimental Frenzy work in Belcher and I thought, "this would be better without 4-cost cards to interrupt the flow of my Frenzy...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Yeah, relying on the Mox Diamonds to have any play at all on turn 1 is a bit rough as well. I'm going to play this a bit more, but I think I will swap to a build designed to exploit Entomb soon. (I...

    Re: [Deck]BUx Reanimator

    You're the reason I'm considering cutting Liliana, The Last Hope for a Wishable Bojuka Bog in the Sideboard. Atticus is the reason I haven't yet :)

    Tournament was fun. I went a disappointing 3-4.

    Soldier Stompy 2-0
    Grixis Reanimator 1-2
    Belcher 2-1

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Absolutely. The second Library was my last cut. Deed kills my Moxes and my Chalices. I agree on the power of Raven's Crime, Scroll Rack, Crop Rotation, Entomb, etc. I'm prioritizing Chalice...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I like the looks of that list. I may try it out. I've settled on a list for this weekend:
    4 Mox Diamond
    4 Smallpox
    4 Chalice of the Void
    4 Hymn to Tourach
    4 Living Wish
    4 Liliana of the Veil...

    Yeah, that is def on my radar. I have Entombs. My current pile has Chalices to slam on T1 with Mox Diamonds, so I skipped the 1 CMC stuff, but Entomb to find Loam, land bullets, and graveyard...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Hey Friends. I've back-burnered Pox for the moment, I was frustrated by the variance of it. This weekend is a charity tournament that I have top 8'd with Pox in the past, and I would like to jam it...

    Hi! thanks for jumping in the pool and sharing! I think Pox as a deck is too metagame dependent to really pin down an optimal list or a position in the meta. My current list is really strong...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    The lack of card draw in Pox is a feature, not a drawback. You will not have enough mana to cast multiple spells in a turn usually, so a card draw spell kinda time walks you. Ideally very top deck...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I think we are weak enough to blood moon that this would hurt more than it would help. My list has 11 Swamps and 12 non-basics already, and I'm trying to cast 16+ double black spells. I have 5...

    You are probably correct about the Lili activation. I just wanted to pressure his hand and I had multiple ways to kill the Delver.

    I really like Last Hope in the board. She truly only has one...

    I have drawn mid-game dark rituals. They suck. I've used them to protect a Toxic Deluge from my own Lili, or cast 2 must counters in a turn to get through some counter magic, or just pitched them...

    I think being able to board up to 4 Collective brutality can make a difference vs. Burn, but it's still not favorable. I'm currently on Brutality plus Trinisphere vs. them, but I haven't got in much...

    Pithing Needle is very good against both Lands the deck and Chandra the card. I would consider upping your count. I run 1 in the main and 3 in the side to fight 'walkers and Stage/Depths. Ratchet...

    I've toyed with Inquisition over Thoughtseize, but Jace keeps rearing his ugly head, and I switch back. I keep 2 Deluge in main as well. I cut them for one tournament a regretted it so hard.

    Awesome. I ought to start keeping track of my numbers.

    Historically, Pox needs to control all 3; cards in hand, board presence, and access to mana. Otherwise the effectiveness of the cards Pox...
