After seeing reid duke's list at the SCG invitational, I realllllllly fell in love with legacy mono black. there were a few things I'd like to change, though, so here's my version. (:

Yeah man. It's a strange take on Pox, curving out at just 3, but I like it a lot. The singular Pox does make me go http://www.myfacewhen.com/7/ a little bit...I dunno if just one is fine or if maybe running one more (either by cutting something else or running an aggressive 61 design) is worth it.

Either way, I like your growing interest in Legacy =]

I'm always a little weirded out when Rituals become the acceleration of choice for Pox, but with Liliana now it really is a more powerful choice than Mox Diamond.

However, what truly sent this deck over the top is mana denial. I can't deny that more traditional Crucible Pox lists have a more powerful setup, but the speed of this style has simply outmoded them.

The funny thing is that this was a stable pox design before, but just never actually capable of keep pressure on the opponent, but with Liliana this version became the boss.

It's pretty god damn difficult to come back after a turn one Ritual --> Liliana =/

Yeah, I don't think the singular pox is worth it. there are a few things I plan on tweaking, but so far I love this deck. legacy is so fun now that I can afford it. (:

and yeah, this deck is more so a land destruction deck, but having no cards in hand helps a lot. :)

I love pox decks, they hit from every angle. I wanna make a smallpox deck. I play mostly type 2 now, but I really like the deck.

Meeeee tooo! I'm waiting on dark ascension to drop, then hopefully we'll get a duress or something better than despise, and maybe a decent black creature, and I'll be poxing it up no doubt.
it's just right now mbc can't really do it. wurmcoil is too big by itself (mbc's worst enemy) and it can't even use the obliterator because of all the clone effects and vapor snag. :/
