These seem like two amazingly strong disruption spells that no one really plays. I guess they are too expensive and symmetrical maybe? Anyway, I like their synergy with manlands, so I set out to build a deck around them and would like some thoughts:
// Lands
4 [AQ] Mishra's Factory (4)
4 [TE] Ancient Tomb
4 [EX] City of Traitors
2 [PLC] Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
4 [REW] Wasteland
7 [UNH] Swamp
2 [SOK] Tomb of Urami (synergy with Void and Crucible)
3 [MOR] Mutavault
// Spells
4 [LG] The Abyss
4 [LG] Nether Void
4 [MR] Chalice of the Void
4 [FD] Crucible of Worlds
4 [FUT] Slaughter Pact (free removal spells are nice when you have to add 3)
4 [SH] Mox Diamond
3 [DS] Trinisphere
3 [MM] Snuff Out
// Sideboard
SB: 4 [UL] Engineered Plague
SB: 4 [GP] Leyline of the Void
SB: 3 [10E] Pithing Needle
SB: 4 [CHK] Cranial Extraction
I really don't know much about Stax decks, having never really piloted one, so I'd like some input. Also, should I be running Smokestack (instead of removal spell I guess)? Are there enough wincons or should I consider Juggernaut or some suck?
Any help is appreciated.
