Deck Description

This is the Pox project I've been tinkering with. I've laid it out for maximum hate in a multiplayer setting.
And what makes this especially fun to me is that my soundtrack to building it was the album Sound Proof by Greg Howe.

How to Play

Undiscovered Paradise is probably the techiest card in this deck. It enables Bloodghasts, and only gets better with Syphon Life and a Crucible.
You can pitch it to Syphon life, replay it with Crucible to recur Bloodghasts, and repeat this cycle each turn.

Bitter Ordeal is a fun card to grab out of your sideboard, and in a multiplayer situation you can let off a "BitterBomb" that's just insane.

Deck discussion for Debaucherous Haberdashery

Easily the best name for a Pox control deck I've ever seen.

When I can't call somebody whatever expletive comes to mind for whatever reason, this is generally what I call them, and it seems to fit Pox quite well.

I got challenged to make Pox for less than a grand, and being in the mood for multiplayer, this is how it came out. Granted the sideboard could probably jack it up to that with Chains, but if the guy actually uses it, he's smart enough to know that the SB for any mono-black design needs to be tailored extensively to what you expect.

Well for cutting the price in half from a typical Pox deck, you did really well. For whatever reason I'm on the fence with Tangle Wire, but other than that, this little "budget" build is great.

Tangle Wire is a great card against aggro strategies, and an okay one against combo in game one(It gets replaced with Liliana G2). It just provides a good flexibility to the deck for game one, and can easily be replaced in game two, so I've come to love it in Contamination designs.

I'm really happy I managed to reduce the price so much, but I hate losing Entomb, and Rishadan Port.

That's the spirit! This deck was challenge to see if I could do Pox for less than a grand, as stated in response to Sure above, but I've been playing more multiplayer matches again, and laid it out to make as many people as possible at a table hate me.
I'm a Johnny/Spike hybrid at heart, but not that I want to win, I want to make people lose :D

TL;DR I'm the griefing dick in my group.

Multiplayer is where its at! No matter how great your deck is 1vs1... it's never as good in multiplayer. That's where the REAL fun in magic still resides! I need to get in on some EDH action really...

I think you like Pox a little too much...

I probably do, but you have to admit it's awesome to take one third of everything from everyone.

It is pretty awesome... I always enjoyed using Balance to do similar evil.

You can never love Pox too much.

If Balance wasn't banned in Legacy, I'd probably play it too. In place of Smallpox it's interesting, but there are situations where it would be a bad call where Smallpox would be brilliant... I'd love to find out though.

And in retrospect you're right Sure, the poxes are so cool I want to collect a playset of each artwork for both of them.

As a man of British blood, I must say this is a most wonderful name for a deck of its kind. A real shame you are limited to a budgeted land base, as my beloved Tabernacle would do brilliantly in here.
