I was playing 2 Needle and 1 Null Rod during Miracles era. Needle was flexible Null Rod had overlap with other applications. Similar approach to what you have. I would say Totem ends up being dead...

Ultimately you are stopping creature abilities in a deck built to kill all creatures.
Pithing Needle does what Cursed Totem does but is infinitely more flexible and half the cost.
You bring up Tin...

I keep wanting to run multiples of Collective Brutality (waiting for them to drop online) as it seems like such a perfect fit for Pox. 2 mana and 2 of my cards for 2 of my opponents is right where we...

That is my main problem with Imp's Mischief. It does not fit into the pre-board game plan and your post-board game plan shouldn't take in to account corner cases. It needs to be an overall plan...

If I have two mana up I'm jamming Sinkhole, Hymn to Tourach, or Smallpox. I'm not holding my mana up for some corner case "gotcha" moments. If you are leaving mana untapped consistently I can't...

The question isn't how good is Bitterblossom without equipment, it is how good is the equipment without Bitterblossom. How many creatures do you play? How mana intensive is the equipment?...

How is this supposed to run on 21 lands? Must be a typo because even with Life from the Loam you need more lands.
May as well have a Raven's Crime somewhere, maybe even a Darkblast.
Noxious...

The problem you are going to run into is the threat package you have available.
Bloodghast, Nether Spirit, Bitterblossom, Lingering Souls, Tombstalker, The Rack, not that these are terrible threats....

First off, thanks for the food for thought.

I've considered Stifle, but I'm trying to keep everything as proactive as possible. Stifle can be un-synergistic with Liliana/Smallpox and Jace. I...

Ankh is a neat idea. I imagine you have to play 3 or 4 to ensure you draw it early enough to make it matter as it seems like a pretty crummy top-deck in a deck that is supposed to dominate the...

I really don't see how Abrupt Decay makes Shardless a great matchup. Sure, Decay that Tarmogoyf they played off of Shardless. Meanwhile they still have the Baleful Strix and Shardless Agent...

4 Disfigure (eventually going to be Fatal Push)
4 Inquisition
4 Brainstorm
3 Sinkhole
3 Hymn
4 Smallpox
4 Jace, VP
2 TNN
4 Liliana
2 Recoil

Just pointing this out, the majority of these posts are essentially rehashing small number tweaks to the same list. There's only so many ways to build Mono-Black Pox, and since it has had basically...

You generally don't beat those types of decks game 1 because you have many dead cards. Not playing something in your maindeck because it loses to matchups you can't beat with your maindeck doesn't...

Innocent Blood is useless against Sneak Attack, it is also useless against a Show and Tell that brings in Griselbrand. You are playing a card that is ineffective against 75% of the opponents win...

Heart of Kiran is only good when you have a planeswalker with high loyalty that is not being threatened.
If you have a planeswalker with high loyalty that is not threatened you are winning. Seems...

If your plan to beat Sneak & Show and Reanimator is Innocent Blood you are going to lose a lot of games.

I currently play 3 Innocent Blood (my list is a few posts ipup) and I was planning to switch a few around for Disfigure or Dismember. Fatal Push will now be included in my testing.
The main reason...

But Miracles doesn't get to cast 6 Sinkholes in one game :)

I currently don't play Force of Will, just stated that it is an option. The only blue cards are Brainstorm, Jace, a pair of Baleful Strix and a single Recoil as a catchall, oh and the Creeping Tar...

Just finished a League with U/B Pox and went 4-1

Round 1 I got destroyed by Shardless BUG. I didn't expect to win this as when I played other versions of Pox this never was an ideal matchup. ...

You and I are on the same page!
I gave up on Pox for a few years because the reality is, it is not good enough to consistently win. If Loam Pox and MBC Pox were so great they would be putting up...

I appreciate the response.
I have adjusted my maindeck a bit to give me a little more game vs these problem matchups which makes less board space devoted to them.
I decided to let the Dark...

I have to admit, 4 Vindicate seems a bit excessive. It is a great top deck and early ones can always be pitched to Smallpox and Liliana, but wouldn't it be better to have lower cmc cards that can...

I played pox for a few years, had decent success at larger events, top 32 an scg open, finals at 60 person event, top 4 at another 60 person event, 9th scg invitational qualifier, lots of good local...
