"To see what another man cherishes, one must turn his world to ash." -- Anonymous I found both versions, and have to say I like the more solemn sound of this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bL2qFuFLX8 After WnB developed an interesting Pox and Iso-Seek hybrid, I was inspired to do my own take on it. This, is Iso-Pox =]

I've worked with Bitterblossom in "Iso-Pox" before, and trust me, unless you're running Contamination it's not really worth it. Smokestack can make use of it yeah, but we have Undiscovered Paradise with our Ghasts to deal with that. I guess it's useful, but we don't NEED to swing out like you do in PAL, and we don't need to sit on a throne like a normal Iso-Seek Extraction. I love that you've worked this hard to make an "Iso-Pox"*, it's flattering, but I'm just not sold on some of your choices. *Yes, I am going to keep using quotation marks until one more person makes one.

Not sure why, but that "sit on a throne" line cracked me up. Anyway, I was a bit on the fence with the Blossum as well, but wanted to try it out. I think I know how I'll fix it up, so it's no biggy =P
You know you can't lie, it's like having the Dutton Bubble Goggles playing Iso-Seek.( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxZbiBjgvLE , or the original MSPA link: http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005072) But I digress. I'm interested to know how the added Surgical Extraction serves you, I've never really thought of pushing it past three(running a two:one split between it and Extirpate)
This deck has a bit more of a destructive tendency to it, Tabernacle, Stax, etc. So since that means more filled graveyards, I like to have a slightly larger helping of deck-shredding =P
I'll say this though, the deck is a hell of a lot of fun to run...Now I need to find a good picture for the sleeves =]
Try checking out John Kenn at blogspot, dude does some wicked(figuratively and literally) looking stuff.
http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcal35oLER1qclyefo1_500.jpg That one caught my eye =]
Suits the deck incredibly well I'd say. And yeah, I figured your greater stance on field control was the reason for them, I really like how this turned out for your first excursion into this form of Poxtraction.
I've just always loved Bitterblossum...possibly a little too much =P And it does suit the deck very well, but I screwed with the colors a little bit so the yellowish post-it color is closer to a light "bone" gray, and the roller pen ink-black is a more solid "BLACK" black. The effect looks amazing, and...if you can believe it...even more creepy and dark =] By the way...why were you looking at creepy death pictures to begin with? =P
I heard his art was like a sick version of the cover of my copy of Where the Sidewalk Ends, so I went and checked it out. I'm a nostalgic sucker for that art style, and the macabre aspects of his art seemed to fit the deck. I wanted to go with one of these http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uq8Nul3Gos4/S8GknxBjDgI/AAAAAAAAAOA/jI4tU_O6F3c/s1600/john109.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pCA5AGV4b9U/TvLi8evxYcI/AAAAAAAAAgY/dVKFq47bbp0/s1600/john273.jpg :P
I actually really like that first one (with the window). I hadn't seen that one when I searched, and it fits the shape of a card sleeve better to boot! =D
Yeah, I had to actively restrain myself to just look for ones that fit the shape of a card sleeve decently looking at the stuff on there... I really had been looking at another one, but landscape orientation means the deck it'd be sleeving would have to be sideways for it to make sense :|
I think what's so impressive about his stuff is that it's all done on post-it notes...that's not easy.
I have a friend who is an artist, a really good one, but she likes to do sprawling designs that go over an entire page, or canvas. Doing something like what he does with a post-it is mind blowing, it's like giving a musical virtuoso two bars to work with, it takes real talent to truly shine what you have with such limited work space :D
I would really trip out if both of our versions of Iso-Pox hit front page, especially if I get to see them both on there at once. Post ALL of the conversation starters! http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/187320-x-all-the-y I'm interesting in knowing how Buried Ruin is doing for you. I've been considering dropping it out of my list. I don't know where I was going earlier with the Dutton Bubble Goggles, I think that was originally intended for somebody else. I was half asleep. So... How about the Knicks? :P Running this list do you run into the problem I had earlier about wanting to run it entirely as a WB Enlightened Pox build? I still feel that I should make one focusing on mana denial, just to get my fix. Isn't Godless Shrine kind of useless at this point? I know it's good to have more actual lands, but wouldn't it be better to run at least SOME basics? In retrospect I should have never bothered with the Razormane I there, Triskelion is much more brutals with Buried Ruin for recursion, or am I thinking to much like with SlaverPost there?
I actually really like how Buried Ruin works. With Stax and Crucible, it allows me to manipulate the rate/intensity of turn-by-turn board killing. I'm not sure your build would benefit as much since you don't get this same kind of use out of it. I've never cared too much for E.Pox, so no, but I have seen how effective a well built one can be. I'm running a snow-covered swamp =P And actually, the one extra dual land in here makes a surprising difference when it comes to consistent mana. The life loss has honestly never really bothered me with the shocklands. Trisk could be interesting...It might at the very least be worth trying out. And Razormane wasn't so much a bad choice, as that it wasn't a good choice, if that makes sense.
I can understand it being more useful with stax in the list, but I found myself boned over to much by combo using it. Enlightened Pox is interesting, but I think I agree with you. It seems to suit itself best as Poxtaction. Okay, at least you have a basic I guess. I really haven't had any issues with the mana in mine as weird as that sounds when you've seen the lands I run. I can understand what you mean about Razormane, but I still think it was just a bad idea more than that. Triskelion would be more or less something to run in more casual games than anything, it's to slow even by the standards of the archetype.
So, i saw the comment where whiteandblue said he would only use "Iso-Pox" with quotation marks untill another person builds one. i'll be the first to admit i have no experience in either of these decktypes, and my skills lie elsewhere, but do you mind if was that 3rd person? i've been taking a break from magic, so it could be a fun challenge.
I vote go for it, but I suggest brushing up on your Pox beforehand. Glad to see you're getting back in Brian!
Yeah go for it man, but as WnB said, read up on this stuff a little =P and long time no see =]
well then, i'll get on it. i gots alot of homework this week, so it might take me a few days, but i'll get to you when i'm done.
Good job integrating music into flavor. I know you probably don't give a shit but I really enjoy that.
Why wouldn't I? I appreciate the comment man =]
this is a pretty interesting deck, im new and just got done building some br vampires, will anybody do me a favor and check it out? any criticism will be greatly appreciated!
BEGON QUOTATION MARKS! http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=305354 (this is probably really bad and not really iso-poxy, but it's a start)
Woohoooo! Double Iso-Pox on the front page!
I just love how white and blue they kill you and sure why not basically made. This. Deck. Popular
i ruined your likes. you were at 69. now your at 70 :P
http://www.myfacewhen.com/158/
i hate this freaking deck. >:( oh, and i am back bitches! :D
Be glad I'm not in your area then Wumpus, I've been using my Iso-Pox. 36-Lands, and Stax lately :P Also, glad to see your back dude!
I personally favor Extirpate over SE. I'd honestly -2 SE and +2 Extirpate really just because of the anti-response it provides.
I may run a 2/2 split after some testing, but I don't think I'll switch the 3/1 to favor Extirpate honestly.
