    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    Be careful: Past in Flames combo decks (like ANT) may still win before sideboard (and even after if you don't bring hate).

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    That last list definitely seems awkward - no offense meant.
    It doesn't behave like pox and it doesn't even barely ressembles the rock. Too many moxen, not enough synergy for my taste.

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    The manabase isn't too terrible, since mox diamond is mandatory in such a deck. You are also not supposed to run 4 abrupt decays. (Altough I ddinīt see your list, you could post it for us).

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I liked it.
    If you want to drop rituals and keep acceleration, at 24 lands I could suggest mox diamond. It doesn't die to pox and has some synnergy with crucible, and if your opponent tries to...

    That's taking the deck to a totally different direction and trying to make it do what BG loam pox does better. The deck will durdle and give plenty recovery time for the opponent.
