Interesting, sort of like a starting point between my Iso-Pox frame and a PAL... I'm definitely investigating this further, but now I need sleep, school in the morning :/

Woohoooo! Double Iso-Pox on the front page!
Interesting budget design for Loam, how does it play like with all of the field control? I also suggest flipping the four:two ratio with Raven's Crime and Inquisition of Kozilek around, repeat business is good and all, but selective discard is always more powerful.
I vote go for it, but I suggest brushing up on your Pox beforehand. Glad to see you're getting back in Brian!
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.
But... That kills the idea of using Bob! You want Bob because he lets you get more cards, the lifeloss is an acceptable cost. I'd rather just kill him probably, but I guess you could do that.
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?
Neat, it's kind of like a gentle version of Oath of Druids!
Pox is really more of a strain on design than play nowadays, when Crucible Pox was the shit it was all about learning your deck inside and out to learn when to do what. Something that kind of stuck with me here in Iso-Pox :D I guess I can play this because I designed it from the ground up, I wanna say the original version was a year ago, so I've had lots of time to learn what I can do with it. I found your comment to be incredibly flattering nonetheless. I will DEFINITELY be checking your deck out, but right now I'm trying to setup a game with one of my friends(Blacklight Retribution)
If you have Dark Confidant, Tarmogoyf, and Mox Diamonds, you would be pretty much set to start running one of these lists for Legacy. I'd be pretty psyched about that! I don't know how I feel about splashing for KoTR in your deck, I did it in my Modern deck for a while because I ran GSZ alongside my ramp :/ Yes, Kessig Wolf Run is bonkers in this deck. I actually love the card. Also, where's the hax with that?
I love the idea of this deck, but without ramp I just don't know about the execution :/ I think really what it needs is some form of early game acceleration to even out while you wait to setup for something.
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
Didn't catch this earlier, to much going on here @_@ But yeah, there's a specific Ralph Stanley version I wanted, and I want to say it was a live version in GA, but I dunno anymore...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this a new version of your old Sadistic Annihilation deck you used in the evil competition SureWhyNot did?
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 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
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.
Try checking out John Kenn at blogspot, dude does some wicked(figuratively and literally) looking stuff.
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)
