I thought a deck combining some of the characteristics of both White Stax and Pox would be fun. Both Pox and Stax are undoubtedly better decks than this, but I’m gonna experiment anyway. Basically, I'd cut the symmetry breakers of both decks and focus on land destruction and ways of winning that both take advantage of the opponent's lack of mana and do damage. Therefore, the discard and creature sacrifice of Pox are gone and the Armageddon/Crucible of Worlds/Flagstones of Trokair stuff of Stax is gone. It’ll be Esper.
So, in order to attack the opponent’s mana, not affect my own, and make it difficult for them to do anything even if they sneak a Delver in or whatever, I see these as auto 3 or 4 ofs.
Daze
Ghostly Prison or Propaganda
Magus of the Tabernacle
Mishra's Factory
Sinkhole
Stifle
Vindicate
Wasteland
Other ideas:
Blight
Encroach
Extirpate
Fulminator Mage
Rishadan Port
Surgical Extraction
Windborn Muse
I got stalled thinking of more 1 and 2 CMC cards so that's why things like Extirpate/Surgical Extraction (actually pretty good at cleaning out fetches and duals) and Blight and Encroach (almost certainly crap) are in there.
Any thoughts or toss the idea?
