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.
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).
The main...
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.
I'm not saying...
@Polish Tamales
both your sideboard and your main deck are full of 1-ofs. While your entomb + buried ruin ans look like a decent tutor engine, to do so you need two of the cards that you have 1-of...
if you expect tons of elves and goblins, and tribal in general, go with plagues. For other aggro match ups (gw for example), go with infest.
EDIT: ratchet bomb doesn't take lands, whereas powder keg...
E. plague + darkblast can deal with most tribals. Sadly, it canīt deal with affinity...
the artifact lands text starts with ([seat of synod/tree of tales/ancient den/vault of whispers/great furnace/darksteel citadel] is not a spell). So no it won't work.
The casting cost is whatever...
I was just wondering... Wouldn't chalices be better left on the sideboard? You are going to kill all the 1-drops you are running and then you'll hymn/wrench mind them wich can possibly discard the...
You said you have 2 to 4 free slots... I cannot conceive chrome mox on a deck that wants every card, but darkmor salvage likes mox diamond. So does crucible of worlds but I know that's not your point...
IoK + chalice? I mean it can be nice to cast one while you are waiting for chalice to get online, but... Then you get 3 useless cards in the deck. I could suggest wrench mind but then again it needs...
I tested a modern pox deck, played it onyl a few times but won them all. Maybe we ca nbring that to legacy with some changes.
The list:
3 thoughtseize
3 inquisition of kozilek
1 raven's crime

You said you wanted to go aggro-tempo... wouldnīt entomb be too slow in such a shell?
About the creatures, once more:
tombstalker being countered - the deck plays a lot of discard, if you have...
I could add to all that hardcore is saying the following statement:
If you want a control deck, do not play pox. Nor monoblack, nor bg, not even bw.
There are control decks that work on board...
I'm aware of that, it was just an example - I mean we won't cast stalker before pox anyway, and if we do, we shouldn't need to cast pox (usually)
@EdsonDettoni
In theory all this works. In theory.
The problem is, hand disruption will not win alone. Neither will land destruction.
A single well-timed threat can render the deck's control...
I ran 22 lands total for that reason, since my mana needs usually stop at 2, with few exceptions - and there's dark ritual too.
If I should add mishras, then urborg would be an obligatory card......
Well, here goes the list I used for testings and the reason for the card choices.
creatures:
4 bloodghast
4 nihilith
2 tombstalker
I found tombstalker rather hard to cast, that's why I dropped...
tempo plays require aggro follow-ups, otherwise it's durdling - a trategy proven to be frustrating for the player since you always "almost" win.
We are trying to get this deck working, make it...
the lists that use only smallpox are the lists where few attrictions are better than a great catastrophe.
But for monoblack I think there has to be a number of big pox.

Tomorrow I'll post my...
Nihilith is easier to put in play that you think, but I understand your point perfectly.
Tomorrow is the testing day and I'll spent A LOT of hours testing 2 decks, and pox will be one. I'll let you...
Hardcore was posting on that thread, but I don't see how pox players will benefit from having all different variants of the deck placed in different threads since it's essentially the same. A few...
Maybe I'm speaking nonsense' but if we want to go the "tempo" route, maybe dark rituals must become moxen, and we'd need things like nihilith and tombsatalker - and possibli a combination of...
Hardcore I saw your day if the disease list (that is nothing more than a pox that tries to win fast). Care to post it in here for more discussion?
