The deck is just the Loam-Pox idea but with a little more HATE.The worst thing about Loam-Pox is not enough Smallpox and I think that problem is solved here.Let me know what you think.
Boom and Akki are a weaker Smallpox. There lies your early game.Fulminator Mage & sac'ing Akki Blizzard-Herder to Smallpox, just GAS at midgame.Leaving The Gitrog Monster for late game clean-up.We play Life from the Loam and Dakmor Salvage so Bloodghast is a must.Faithless Looting to lessen variance. And there you have it.

I've played a Loam strategy of deck in Modern, and the biggest issue I've always found is the lack of good utility lands, and with only 21 lands, there is a very good chance you'll mana screw yourself with the symmetrical land destruction effects.Instead of being more aggressive with Shivan Wumpus and Scythe Tiger, I would recommend going a bit more controlling, playing cards like Liliana of the Veil or other Walkers as your primary win cons. When I was playing I was around.. 27, 28 lands. I would take a look in the database here for the lands legal to Modern and try to find enough to make Loaming them back strong enough. At the very least you need 4 Ghost Quarters so you can attempt locks with peoples manabases, the issue still stands on a lack of good ones other then that. Since we lack a good Maze of Ith or spot removal spell like Barbarian Ring, or a reliable win con in our manabase like a Dark Depths.A card I would also recommend for consistency would be Faithless Looting, if you depend on Life From The Loam, you NEED to find it, and without cards like Entomb or Gamble to find it you need to find ways to compensate.

You are quite right. I didn't realize the list had not updated when I added GQ and Dakmor Salvage...I had thought about the circumstance of not running into Loam, and my thought was either another way to bring them back or use one that brings itself back while maybe throwing Loam into play. Hence Dakmor Salvage. My original thought here was no land no play and just beat with Bloodghast or Fulminator if I have to.BUT I want this to work and you have given me a lot to think about. So I thank you, good sir.
