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...

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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
Burn 2-0
Manaless Dredge 0-2
Soldier Stompy 2-0
Grixis Reanimator 1-2
Belcher 2-1
Affinity(!) 1-2
Sneak and Show 1-2
I think the only change...
This deck looks siick. I'm gonna run my list this weekend, but I will def try this out.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
This is why I raise my eyebrows at all of the Beseech the Queen lists. I'm not sure how spending a turn tutoring up a bullet is helpful in a deck that aggressively discards its hand and sacrifices...
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...
Yah. my Bitterblossom was great last night, I'm already shopping for another one. I put the one in the main over the Nether Spirit. How do you all feel about Bitterblossom in the Burn/U/R Delver...
In my experience, this is how this matchup goes. Their combo just goes right over the top of our disruption. Your game 2 sounds about right. If everything goes well, we can win. I think actual...
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.
I love it when my opponent is just despondently flipping through their sideboard, wondering what to do. In fact I think knowing how to approach the pox match-up is a mark of a true legacy...
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...
