    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Green Sun's Zenith, Quirion Ranger, etc.? Despite their common roots, D&T and Maverick are different now. D&T, unlike Maverick, is a mana denial deck. Excepting Horizon Canopy, you can't just add...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    I see people using the term "tier deck" to describe what Pox is not. I don't have anything nice to say about so-called tier decks, except that a lot of people play those decks. When really smart...

    Re: Suit up!

    Mono-white is the direction I'd tend to go, not only because I don't own most of those red cards. I was also thinking about a Meekstone, semi-control element in an otherwise aggro deck. Something...

    The BG Pox lists started cropping up a lot more just after Abrupt Decay was available, which makes sense. Abrupt Decay, Maelstrom Pulse, Pernicious Deed, Life from the Loam, possibly Sylvan Library...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    feline, could you offer up what you think might be an optimal mono-black decklist for the NW regional or national event meta right now?

    Basically, I've put aside BG Pox and Armageddon Stax, so I'm...

    Re: [Deck] BG Pox

    Quiet in the BG Pox thread as of late. Are a lot of Pox players jumping over to some sort of BUG list? It looked like Abrupt Decay would be a huge help to this deck, and it seems like its been very...

    Filth is a creature with Swampwalk that's been suggested for Pox decks, though I've not tested it.

    Re: [Deck] BG Pox

    It's always fun to be able to tap a fetchland or even, say, a Maze of Ith for black mana. It's also cool if you're playing a Swampwalk creature.

    Re: [Deck] BG Pox

    Vengeful Pharaoh works, yes. But maybe not well enough and not enough of the time. It is perhaps "too cute." It's really more of a defensive card, and something that has to be played around, sort...

    Re: [Deck] BG Pox

    I played BG Pox yesterday at another event at Card Kingdom in Seattle. It was a 31-person event I think, and I went 1-3-1. I didn't play brilliantly, but I think I'm learning a thing or two about...

    Ugh.

    Went 0-2 tonight (at Card Kingdom in Seattle), then got a bye, and decided not to wait around an hour to play one final round.

    Lost Round 1 to Mono-Red Burn. Not a good matchup, and my...

    I'll continue to give Raven's Crime a chance. Here's my list at the moment:

    BG Pox

    2 Nether Spirit

    3 Liliana of the Veil

    4 Abrupt Decay
    2 Cursed Scroll

    Abrupt Decay adds a lot to this. BG Pox was good enough for a SCG top 4 this past spring. Now I think it's much better.

    It's that top 4 finish that put this deck on my radar. The deck belonged...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    I'd argue the Flickerwisps are redundancy. They'll vial in to bounce a Thalia or Mangara, but better than Karakas does. Like Mangara, they're another way to get stuff out of the way. Like Mom,...

    My opponent has Umezawa's Jitte equipped with two charge counters on it.
