Abrupt Decay kills Tarmogoyf. Does that mean nobody's going to play it? Decay kills Liliana even without a Nether Void on the field. I think the problem people are seeing is that there are 'too few' win conditions.

I have to cry foul cause way back when, during the days when I didn't have a career job, me and my friend played budget decks. He played a form of Psychotog and it only had 4 win conditions, Psychotog.

It pulled wins. Not against $1000 tournament decks but it was one of the strongest decks in our kitchen table meta. Protect the snot out of your threat.

Long grindy lists are what Pox can work under last I remember. All the big name builds that top 8'd didn't need Marit Lage or anything fancy. Just slap you to death for 2 damage a turn. I do look forward to the actual list vs. a quick review off the top of your head. Personally, the biggest reason I loved Pox as a deck to begin with is that it's the most effective land destruction deck in MtG right now. Granted, it's designed to murder your hand as well but that doesn't hurt its effectiveness.

My only sad testing was that Sphere of Resistance didn't carry as hard as I thought it would. I replaced Hymn to Tourach as a test and it allowed for some very impressive anti-combo strategy, but did poorly vs. Miracles (worst matchup ever) and Vial agro. Looking forward to Warping Wail's addition and got to test it once it arrives in the mail.
