Deck Description

My attempt to port Pox from Legacy to Modern. I haven't tested this yet, so I have no idea if the sideboard is correct.
Phyrexian Totem - dodges the sac effect of Smallpox, helps ramp a bit, even if you have to sac a land to Smallpox
The Rack, Shrieking Affliction - redundant win conditions
Bojuka Bog - MD graveyard disruption, although I wonder if Dakmor Salvage wouldn't be better
Liliana - She's pretty much the perfect planeswalker for this strategy
The rest is discard and removal to prevent your opponent from establishing board presence, and card draw to help you keep the pressure on.
Alternative strategy: cut 1-2 totems for Bloodghasts and cut the Bogs for Salvages so you can discard to Liliana's +1 for value.
