Deck Description

so as i was building my take on Iso-Pox, i got this feeling that i needed to create an agro pox deck. so here's my first try. through this together in 5 minutes, so i expect it to wholeheartedly suck.
Actualy, it's been doing pretty good so far. entomb isn't quite as good as i thought it was going to be, and i could use another crucible. so -1 entomb, +1 crucible.
Between liliana, Rats, thoughtseize and raven's crime, this deck manages to empty hands FAST. for this reason, i think i Quest for the Nihil Stone might be truly potent, potentialy killing faster than tarmagoyf. What should i drop for them?

Deck discussion for Pox - Filth

The term you're looking for is Pox Filth. As in, a Filth deck (not referring to the card) that is powered by Pox, among other things. I like the look of this, but my one major concern is that you don't have enough zombies for Crawler to be as effective as it can be =/

Actualy, crawler is pretty potent even without much zombies, because i can use entomb to find the second one. so in a sense, it's almost as if i have 7 gravecrawler. Also, because rotting rats has unearth, you can use it to bring back a gravecrawler after some sort of wrath-ish effect via unearth. because of this, the 2 rotting rats tend to have the same potence as 3 zombies in the deck instead of 2. there's only been one time when i haven't been able to find another zombie in the 9 times i tested it, so i'm pretty confident. One thing that i have noticed is that this deck really empties people's hands. between rotting rats, Liliana & thoughtseize, it doesn't take long after a pox for the topdecking to begin. so what i really want to add is Quest for the Nihil Stone. i have a feeling that guy will end games faster than tarmagoyf. do you have any ideas of what i should drop?

Hrm, I suppose you have a point there. As for the Quest...I might lose at most 2 Goyfs for it. You could also go with some of those horrors like Nyxathid, or better yet, Nihilith, a classic Pox Filth beatstick. I think those would be more consistent than the Quest to be honest.

eh, i'm actualy not a big fan of Nihilith, and tarmagoyf is usualy bigger than him anyway. but i REALLY like the idea of Nyxathid..... i'm going to drop 1 goyf and 1 crucible for 2 Nyxathid. but i'm also going to test quest. to be honest, i think the quest may still be the best option, because it costs 1, it's hard to remove, and deals unblockable, unpreventable damage. well see.
