THE A-POX-ALYPSE CONTINUES! Legacy Loam Pox! Golgari Prison with Smallpox, Urza's Saga, Liliana MTG

[@er45003]

the best part is Brian cackling at every called shot and miserable opponent.

[@daneofdanger]

It warms my shriveled heart

[@dankurach5340]

Was half expecting to see the black lotus drawn 😆

[@Bloodywolf11]

Loam Pox has become such a channel staple, and I love the lists each time they show up

[@bryantan4228]

12:01 Unnecessary land sacrifice. Mox Diamond, Dark Ritual, Smallpox, Cabal Pit, Hymn to Tourach. No need to sacrifice your land.

[@SgfAlex]

I immediately stopped the video to post this

[@farpasmasterfarpador9092]

I am convinced Brian just records the audio after the games to get all the draws correct 😂

[@veyloris7928]

I still come back to this video just to imagine being on the receiving end of that first turn poxening in round 1. It makes me feel alive.

[@rookermtg9321]

35:10 Complaint Equity is such a good phrase

[@dirtydeeds4free553]

:) i enjoy watching others be unable to play magic while playing magic. Thank you for fueling my addiction

[@ragingtempestus6566]

I finally bit the bullet and ordered a pair of Jace’s. Now I can wear the hoodie while B.storming and fatesealing. Loving the deck as always, what’s not to love…. Its loampox!!!!! Such an iconic deck for the channel, and it such a nice deck to watch play out as the opponents squirm from below a sphere or t1 smallpox/seize

[@nooneatall5612]

Just a thought, a card that just destroys lands is Ashiok. It shuts everything that deck does down

[@Bradmpearce]

That first rip made my evening. Welcome to the shadowrealm indeed.

[@benlittle5543]

Your deck techs are the shit. I would very much watch more of those deep dives into how current decks got to where they are now.

[@tomasvecera2766]

Why not in game 1 dark ritual out of chrome mox , play smallpox and then land and hymn ? that way you have no land to sacrifice so you play it after , no ?

[@BoshNRoll]

Yeah I just mis-sequenced that. Having the land is way better.

[@allenmayo718]

Thank goodness someone else ask thanks for replying bosh

[@christiansmith5047]

Blundered the land.

[@akuvisuri]

Yeah it was funny going from deck tech "nobody else except someone with as much experience with pox than I can make these deck building decisions" to "Oh i guess I'm gonna sac my land for no purpose whatsoever"

[@samuelcollitt382]

Your videos are helping me through covid isolation. I watch them every day :)

[@BoshNRoll]

Glad I can help! Stay safe and cozy over there

[@KVD22]

"Next time I should say Black Lotus and just see if I can get a Black Lotus" I'm dead

[@impywimpy]

We have a guy who swears to a similar list in our community, and as an Elves player, it's pretty much the only match up where you want to start off with a Cradle. Getting an Arbour with GSZ is usually an auto-loss, playing any kind of one drop turn one will possibly cost you the game. If you open with a Cradle, you might be able to develop some kind of board state that doesn't get slaughtered by Smallpox on their turn one/two, and if you get to the stage where they can't two for one you into oblivion, you might get to play some Magic. Another tip is to be careful when you fetch, as being able to keep Arbour around is also potential acceleration with Cradle active.

[@BoshNRoll]

Yeah I'm also a longtime Elves player IRL and know the pain of a Smallpox if you don't sequence right.

[@gabrielmervis2333]

I love the full on live editing after the gameplay, keep up the good work!!

[@Omnicloud7strife]

Super fun to watch Loam Pox be piloted so smoothly. Pox is such a tricky deck to play right, so it's great to see it get such a clean game plan mapped out for it, even if it didn't work out. Knowing where the deck is weak or not is a huge deal, too. Thanks a lot for sharing.

[@leeboleebo]

I have never clicked a new Bosh and roll video so fast. Except maybe the mulch deck. Or some of the control decks. Or that delver brew. They’re all pretty good, but this one is really exciting!

[@BoshNRoll]

IDK if you're new here, but there's a LOT of Pox on this channel. Glad you enjoy it, there's plenty to consume!

[@leeboleebo]

@@BoshNRoll I’m not exactly new - more of a long time watcher, first time commenter. I checked to see when I started watching and noticed that I have watched basically every video on the channel for the past 7 months or so. In particular, I’ve seen tons of pox videos :D Keep up the great work!!

[@YoOHTo]

the pox vids were what brought me to this very channel and the great content overall was what made me stay! thx for putting in the effort! :)

[@danteforssberg3868]

I have at least 10 views on this video at this point. If i could give you the loam-pox list that i won Norway's "win a savannah" with in November. I would pay for that content. Can't afford being a Patreon atm. But as a 12 year pox innovator. Seeing a properly competitive version of this would be so amazing. And i would put in as much as i could afford into having a Mastermind like you play my deck (as it is now) as the last one was bent to beat Ragavan. But man, your content is amazing. Keep going.

[@nathreetimesnineequalstwen7172]

Link to the list? I know three months ago 😂, but if you still got it

[@nooneatall5612]

I love loam pox! Really like this list too, just classic loam pox. I will say I've tested exploration in loam pox and its amazing! If I ever save enough to do a donation deck its gonna be that. I also think exploration is a great deck in loam pox, because it allows you to slow roll your urza's saga into your best land for the matchup.

[@BoshNRoll]

I have played versions with Exploration on the channel and liked them a lot. :)

[@nooneatall5612]

@@BoshNRoll Oh yeah that list with the Gitrog monster and scepter. I think Exploration can find its place in a more "Serious" shell too!

[@nategtr]

My favorite is the spreading algae pox… hopefully, that gets another round.

[@SharkbaitGamer42]

I've not watched a Bosh N Roll Video in more than a week, but trying to graduate University will do that. In my first week as a non-student in nearly two decades I'm glad I've got a backlog to keep me entertained as I wait to hear back from applications and interviews

[@BoshNRoll]

Good luck!

[@Bradmpearce]

Loved this. If there is more to come, can it be the most busted you can make it. I need to see tears.

[@wonderbread840]

Insane called shots this league

[@spencerj.6342]

Grindy magic is the best magic. Are there any more Pox, Stasis, or other nasty decks on the horizon? Edit: Wooo! I got an answer in the first minute 😂

[@FangPT]

Admit it, you pre-recorded this right? No one can predict so many topdecks! Great video as always!

[@juicehansen8713]

I'm a huge Pox aficionado, and it makes me really happy when you play any flavor of it. I still bust it out in paper from time to time, it's an excuse to sleeve up my English The Abyss which I refuse to cut. 4 mana is a lot but it doesn't eat your Saga tokens, so it's often one sided. I'm biased because I love the card but I think it's at least worth a second look. Also I REALLY think you want a Cursed Scroll in the deck. This thing has been a Pox staple, and having it as a 1 of to grab with Saga is really nice. Repeatable colorless damage is a banger and I can't imagine sleeving up Pox without it. Keep in mind everything I said here comes from experience with straight mono black Pox, I would definitely defer to your experience playing the BG version, but I don't think either of those cards are unreasonable to consider. Cheers, keep up the awesome content! 😁

[@BoshNRoll]

I've played a ton of Pox on the channel and most lists have Scroll. I do like it, just wasn't room in this build.

[@musicalcacti]

Thanks!

[@Razokk]

Ravens crime would look good in some of those games where your just dredging loam to flood lands in your hand as your control opponent sits and waits. You could run like 2 and get value from dredging.

[@sobman]

Classic pox strategy > God I hope I draw this card, or I just lose HARD

[@Borkybaby]

I play pox with a couple tireless trackers. Just enjoy the card draw and it works with my urzas saga

[@nathreetimesnineequalstwen7172]

Ooooo... Me likeeee

[@mathiasforup8864]

When pox decks work, its a thing of beauty.. so EVIL so Delicious

[@realperson69]

I almost always play Surgical when my deck has heavy discard. Thoughtseize into Surgical can collapse some decks on T1.

[@yza9654]

Watching you play pox is like watching picasso paint

[@ShadowOfNocturne]

Out the gate at 12:10 with a big oops. Should have diamond dark rit small pox, THEN play the land into hymn. That way you are super ahead for constructs coming up

[@bradleytinney6969]

Bryan love your content. Turn 1 game 1 play mox diamond dark ritual cast small pox then lay your land cast hym to tourach for max value

[@BoshNRoll]

Yeah I just counted to 4 then cast my spells without really thinking about it. That's much better.

[@jochenkirn9468]

Thanks!

[@kyleucf]

First turn of the league why you didn’t mox then pox before land drop? You could have kept an extra land in play. (Edit - sorry looks like others pointed this out).

[@GRat9717]

First round that guy was really holding on - their username relevant.

[@1420ify]

Me, a dirty land d player: Yessss YESSs

[@Chiron423]

Is Takenuma worth a slot somewhere? A Loamable way to recur planeswalkers seems reasonable. Might be too narrow?

[@ServusLeuts]

Brian whyyyy did you play the cabal pit in G1? You couldve Played mox, ritual, smallpox and THEN play the land and hymn

[@BudroThePious]

M1 G1 You could have Smallpoxed before playing a land to keep the turn 1 land drop.

[@conradthornton4438]

Thanks!

[@conradthornton4438]

Whoops, didn't realize it was a comment too. Thanks for the hours and hours or entertainment!

[@bpgoss]

Please please please play encroach. It’s crazy good. It can get fetches in ways that wasteland can’t.

[@Haedono]

Danke!

[@ivanstancliff1496]

the cackle!

[@aidankeyes5526]

Worm harvest is a great card for EDH if you're playing Gitrog and that's about it.

[@Reversespacehippie]

Obligatory algorithmic contribution

[@twzKevin]

R2G1 makes me think summoner's pact + thoughtseize alone is a combo kill for game 1 XD

[@omnivision616]

Any deck that plays Nether Spirit I'm on board with. 16 year old me memories.

[@0xGRIDRUNR]

your draws in rounds one and two (im only that far in) are fucking disgusting i love it

[@BoshNRoll]

That’s the pox life!

[@trumpetperson11]

Calling out like three topdecks in a row in game 2 of round 2 was absolutely disgusting.

[@Fandwicksvhs]

If you want to be able to target any threat, play assassin's trophy. If you want your removal to always resolve, sun abrupt decay. Not that your pick here is wrong, just pointing out a distinction you glossed over when discussing the two of them.

[@BoshNRoll]

That was implied in my description given the text of the cards. It doesn't matter if your spell is uncoubterable if it's also uncastable.

[@andrewwistrand9024]

Is contamination too bad for lands matchup?

[@stalkerorstalker]

So for paper legacy, can you play loampox without the mox diamond?

[@BoshNRoll]

You can, it's just slower. Pretty sure I have some Diamond-less builds on the channel if you look back.

[@renatop3]

What do you think about Kroxa as a finisher?

[@BoshNRoll]

It's not castable in this build. I've played Kroxa Pox on the channel before. I also have a Kroxa prison deck coming out later this week. :)

[@stevenrhodes8338]

Too bad you don’t do commander I’d love to see what concoction of pox you would brew up for the format

[@Haedono]

I guess not many people enjoy such games and it gets much harder in multiplayer. Tegrid is a great commander for any all player discard/sac cards or maybe jhoira of the gitu, suspend a aoe land destruction spell and a wincon and watch the party go.

[@andrewwistrand9024]

For oops all spells match up, isn't t1 ritual for plague engineer on illusion gg? Not sure if its correct to be in deck but seems decent.

[@BoshNRoll]

No, they play 1 bridge from below which replaces the Narcos with zombies to still do the combo

[@TotallyTribal]

Question: g1m1 why play a land into your own smallpox? Is there something I'm missing?

[@zertamtg1334]

M1g1 why did you play the land before you poxed? Is there a force bayou dryad force deck going around a missed? (Not a dig, genuinely curious)

[@BoshNRoll]

No I just messed up

[@raymondgibson659]

1 cursed scroll for tutor? You had a couple games that could have been won by a few scroll activations.

[@matthewguinn5371]

One cursed scroll somewhere?

[@BoshNRoll]

I usually play it, just tried this one without it. I’ll have it back next time, I missed it.

[@daneofdanger]

time spiral came out and I started squealing about Smallpox. My friends didn't get it. Then I played a playset with 4x Damnation 4x Phyexian Totem and laughed

[@mrtoots2259]

Dampening sphere instead of sphere of resistance? I just feel like it's a direct upgrade

[@BoshNRoll]

Damping Sphere doesn’t do anything until the 2nd spell of a turn.

[@mrtoots2259]

@@BoshNRoll ah ok, I can understand the sphere then, especially when your opponent is down to top decks

[@samlalurano1253]

Hi

[@MrZerodaim]

Wouldn't Plague Engineer just wreck Oops All Spells? Name illusion, Narcoamoebas can't stay on the field, so they can't combo until the engineer is gone.

[@BoshNRoll]

They have a Bridge from Below in the deck to play around that.

[@gxmoyano]

Pox is probably my favorite bad deck. I'll just keep waiting for a metagame when it's really viable.

[@samlalurano1253]

Video kaise banate hain

[@dudders4969]

turn one game one mistake

[@shhhvcnear]

This was a mean comment and I apologize to bosh

[@martinmackey7191]

first game turn 1 misplay. should mox ritual pox, THEN play your pit so you don't lose a land, then hymn. yeah the hymn pox sequencing is worse but you keep your land. come on man

[@Quiron1985]

Currency Converter (lets call it CC) would be nice in this deck. Still think this is a hidden gem. think about it. Turning your Liliana - smallpox - Mox discards into free 2/2 rogues or Treasure tokens. And it's a saga target. And as a 1-off, if you have this in your hand + a Mox, it's free. Play land - tap, play CC, play Mox, discard Mox, exile mox under CC, tap CC to put land in GY and create a treasure token. I'm just trying something new here guys... :D I know CC is very powerfull in Lands.dec

[@jerryturgin6583]

so it probably would see play now, but at the time it either wasn't printed or wasn't on mtgo yet

[@Haedono]

I realy love seeing pox gameplay ! 🦭 Would it be reasonable to play a loam pox version without diamonds or bayou ?

[@BoshNRoll]

Yeah, Overgrown Tomb isn't that much worse than Bayou in the deck and you can play without Diamonds, it's just slower.
