http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWZxAuCCy2wObligatory Song of Fire & Ice reference, and oh man does the show so far bring it to life.Winter Void, because my last two decks just weren't douchey enough. Actually because it's because I haven't built with Nether Void in a long time, and I enjoy designing decks to use it in.

Well done I love it. Magic needs more player willing to pull of shenanigans.

If you want more of such shenanigans I suggest you check the good fellows below. Drumhead, and Quasimofo are the ones who inspired me to tinker with Nether Void, and a good deal of this design is based upon various ones they've done.Winter Orb+Nether Void was a setup I didn't fully understand how to build around before SureWhyNot posted a deck Quasimofo uses, and MBC in general I'm only capable of building because of Drumhead. Pox is something I've worked a long time on making my own though, and I must say I'm proud of that.
Winter is coming...
As it continues to snow like a bastard today in Fairbanks, Alaska... I say FUCK SNOW!The deck is good though... even if Pox is again being used. hahaha
If you did it'd probably end up in the worst possible case of frostbite.I love Pox man, it's one of the three styles I truly enjoy building. The others being Reanimator, and Doomsday.
I think my favorite type's of deck to design are Mill, Extraction (more precise mill really), and Sacrifice. The love for mill started way back in fourth edition for me with Millstone and extraction during Ice Age with Jester's Cap (when it was $30+), and sacrifice is most recent with Consuming Vapors, Geth's Verdict, Gatekeeper of Malakir, and Abyssal Persecutor. Those are my comfort decks...
Mill I never really cared for, except when I'm doing it to myself. Me and most of my friends have at least one graveyard shenanigans deck, so if anybody wants to run mill they have to ask themselves if they feel lucky. It's too much of a liability to be worth it usually.Extraction however does amazingly, because to hell with you, your combo, and anything in the deck that you might have loved. And it's a fun deck to build, and probably just below those three.Sacrifice was my first really competent deck, it was slow, it was steady, and it made people hate me at the multiplayer tables. One friend ran Elves, one ran Zombies, and I thought it was time to make things manageable. I became the Cuba to their Cold War USA and Russia.
Ah, what a breath of fresh air from (and excuse me for saying this) the cavalcade of mediocrity on the "new decks" list as of late. I like your use of the poxes to serve as land and mana denial in place of the Winter Void staple, Sinkhole. I must say, however, I dislike the use of Surgical Extraction. To me, at least, it seems out of place. Hymn or even Inquisition of Kozilek would do much better, I think. Hymn for obvious reasons (it's Hymn for Christ's sake), and Inquisition because CMC's of 3 or less are the only real threats to a mana denial deck such as this.
It truly has been disappointing lately, but hopefully it will pick back into full swing once the next set arrives. I'd very much like to see what it has to offer to the eternal formats, it could be amazing, or it could be terrible.Surgical Extraction is something I'm mostly running because of the rampancy of Storm I've been seeing, dealing with Rituals, Tutors, or other such nastiness can be quite useful. However I do see the logic behind running Hymn(as you said, it's Hymn for Christ's sake), and Inquisition would be a great way to stabilize the pressure I exert over each archetype, but as a power play Thoughtseize into Surgical Extraction is hard to top.I'm really happy to know you like the use of the poxes, it's a bit more costly in every respect than Sinkholes, but that's what makes it so interesting. It applies pressure to my opponent in just as many ways as it does myself, but the deck doesn't really need to worry as much as the opponent due to the design of it all.
I like how Chains of Mephistopheles is sitting in the sideboard as if it's saying; "Hey, it could be worse..."
There's always a way to slip a bit more evil into a deck :D
oh yeah! winter orb has been a loong time favorite card of mine. its always awesome to see people using it! its such an awful card to be on the opposite side of the table from. Its way cool to see it in a pox shell too!i love the use of rishadan port and undiscovered paradise. and also orb+nether void is so brutal.i do agree with Quasimofo though, in that the surgicals do seems slightly out of place. at least in the main.
