    [Deck] Nihil's Crazy Stax Spin-Off (NCSSO)

    Okay guys, as stated, this is a spin-off from Armageddon Stax. I wanted to reply to this but I didn't want to pollute the Stax thread. So here goes:

If I can stop that creature from attacking Ajani it means I could already ignore it somehow (exception: Factory chump-blocking with no Crucible).
    I think I'll try to fit Ajani in a sort of Stax spin-off. I'm looking at something like this:

    24 lands incl. Tombs and Factories, but maybe not the full Cities
    4 Mox Diamond
    2 Chrome Mox?

    4 Chalice
    4 Crucible

    4 Burning Wish?
    3+1 Firespout

    2+1 Boom/Bust
    3+1 Armageddon
    4 Humility

    3 Ajani
    3 Elspeth (SO wish this could be Garruk)
    I think Chrome Mox won't be needed as you have enough mana sources without them. Instead, perhaps include Moats? (Elspeth can make your soldiers jump) They seem to be good with Humility.
    If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably delicious.

    Wildfire seems like a good choice. Burns creatures and destroys land.

    I think that's why he included Boom/Bust and ajani...isn't that enough?

    Elspeth, Kinght-Errant is fantastic when you abuse of the second +1 ability.

    3/3 flying until end of turn. but your list is missing a creature to give it to. Have you thought about running 2-3 of those new white 2/2 rares: Ethersworn Canonist

    Burning Wish for what ?

    I don't mind 4 x humility but you wouldn't be able to fit the Ethersworn Canonist... Think about it though with your chrome mox you could dump him on turn one...then elspeth turn three and swinging with a 5/5 flyer on that very same turn...

    Since I posted that list sketch off the top of my head, I recommend everyone to at least goldfish a bit before throwing around ideas.

    There's seriously no point in posting in a thread when the deck hasn't even been run on MWS for a spin.
