Yes but after runnIng 8 colorless lands already and 1 non mana producer for those that run Tabernacle, can we really offers to add another when many of our spells are double black

I run The Abyss but was in love as it offers another potential kill while playing resource denial.i was thinking about running 2 mainboard for playtesting.

Have a friend testing torment of scarabs as replacement for the abyss in a Black/Blue Modern Pox build. I’ve seen it in use and seems to carry more potential than I first have credit to it. Soft...

We need to deal with Batterskull itself, but unless you plan on Loam Pox, or Vaka Pox (God I hate that damn name) it is hard to deal with artifacts. Anyone know of a Red Black Pox list? That would be...

If the reality were just that simple Pox would already be placing higher on the charts, but sadly it’s not.

dread of night and night of souls’ betrayal does little to control either Stoneblade or Miracles unless your running multiples. Secondly night of souls’ betrayal is commonly only ran as a 1 of due to...

Hopefully when we hit Dominaria we will get to see some old school magic come back for resource denial or a better wincon option.

So this is the list that I ran 2-15-2018 at my local LGS:

Mainboard:
3x Bitterblossom
1x Cursed Scroll
4x Dark Ritual
4x Fatal Push
4x Hymn to Tourach
2x Innocent Blood
4x Inquisition of...

So on the issue of Chains of Mephistopheles is to keep 1-2 in the sideboard. I don't come across enough high draw decks to ensure proper use and instead find it to be a dead card played.

We are...

23-25 count is the sweet spot depending on how many Pox and Smallpox your running and if you are running Crucible of Worlds

I only run smallpox. Pox is nice but Liliana basically covers Pox's job except for the 1/3rd life lose.

My current deck list:

http://www.essentialmagic.com/Decks/View.asp?ID=998161

Nether void is nice but unless you play against a storm, burn, or combo deck I find that it doesn't slow the opponent as much as you would like. The abys is worth keeping main board. You can drop to...

Took my Pox to the local legacy tournament last night. It ran very well but I did see changes that need to occur for some more fine tuning. One of which is including another wincon.
Anyways I went:...

I agree with you on this. It's worth testing and my be better. I've found that many times the opponent will caste a chump to sac in the event I try such a route. Direct targeting would be nice and...

the rack works with pox nicely actually. Most of us will play cursed scroll instead because it options for doing 2 damage to target creature, just in case you can't force them to sac it. I've not had...

I got that. My post was more about how weaver is just bad for Pox compared to jace

But ashiok, nightmare weaver is mill, not control or disruption. jace, the mind sculptor is disruption and control.

So you manage to mill a person who has a creature meant to control and disrupt,...

nether void is fantastic fo a deck like this but it's important to remember that it effects you as well. If you plan to go that route, ensure your average CMC is low or you won't play anything for a...

I'll see how rit does in the deck. Honestly it already runs smooth as it is. I've thought about mainboarding one copy of [/cards]Chains of Mephistopheles[/cards] which would open a slot in the...

My updated list.

Mainboard:

1 nether spirit
1 black sun's zenith
3 dark ritual
1 entomb
3 hymn to tourach
4 innocent blood

For those that are running nether spirit have you considered running cabal therapy instead of inquisition of kozileck? Adding to the fact it hits multiple and nether spirit is easily sacrificed...

I was wondering what people think of adding in 1 copy of grim tutor and 1 copy of The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale to the main board.
