So, you suggest that Pox should do what it's been doing, but that that plan is wrong?

None of these cards have any coherency with Pox, or the other important cards. They're just random threats. Sure, they might have no cards in hand, but when you blow a Pox, you definitely want Nether Spirit in hand, not Bitterblossom.
i take it you dont play much pox at all yuan ti. the rack is a turn 1 drop. you can't run 4 nether spirits in the deck!
lol
you realize that nether spirit can only trigger if it is the ONLY creature in your yard? that means if you ever get 2 or more in the yard then none of them trigger?

spirit has always been a 1-3 of ... 3 is pushing it. tombstalker is a card which rips your whole yard away and then they stp it and you are down a ton of cards ;-). to say that casting another stalker would be difficult at that point is a HUGE understatement.

another thing is a lot of ppl also play ensnaring bridge in pox... and you wont ever get the stalker going there.

also pox isn't about LD. LD is a secondary function. pox is mostly a critter/hand disruption deck.

and yes i dont run wastelands in the monoblack version of the deck.
