There has been a lot of hype about currency converter in lands recently. Loam pox is a lands-adjacent deck that appears to use it better. Liliana OTV and Smallpox synergize much better with a discard based engine than exploration and crop rotation do. A 1 drop that poops out zombies is much more in line with an attrition deck than a combo/prison one.
It is a hybrid between bitterblossom, mox diamond, and scroll rack, all of which are reasonable cards in loam pox, but only 1 mana so you can get it with saga. It has a ton of synergy with cycle or channel lands, which are more valuable in pox than lands (due to the lack of exploration). Compared to the dark ritual/karn shells, smallpox and hymn inherently wants to play a smaller game. Karn pox does a poor job of being a “go big” deck compared to eldrazi post or curses.
