For those curious about the Braids + Grist interaction at the end of Round 1, Braid's ability will use last known information to determine that a planeswalker was the type of permanent that was sacrificed, even though Grist is a creature once it hits the yard.

No matter what else, thoroughly roasting Amulet Titan with Pox in Modern is a great win.

And PoxNRoll is back. Now we just need some ninjas and it'll be just like the good ol' days.

I'm a simple man. I see smallpox, I click.

A couple months ago I was looking for fun build around cards to brew a modern deck when I stumbled upon Algae. I thought it would be super funny doing the urborg thing but couldn’t afford them so I didn’t end up building it. So happy to see you playing a deck utilizing it. I also love smallpox a lot.

53:15 I think I’m always just slamming necromentia here. We know 4/5 of opps cards so with 2 random draws they have very few outs to winning.

Reasonable line

Pox is my favorite archetype to watch on this channel

This deck needs bowmasters. It acts a removal, feeds pox but lets you keep a threat, and punishing decks as they try drawing out of the squeeze, assuming they don’t do it naturally.

Feels like every black deck needs bowmasters. What a boring af card

​@arielquelme except not every blue deck needs or even can utilize snap.

I feel like not adding the stone in for the yagmoth match was a mistake since it turns off all their undying shenanigans as well as the infinite combo it enables

Pox content? Christmas miracles really do exist in BoshNRoll land!!

Bosh Pox is my favorite Bosh... and Pox

53:26 can't you just necromentia the rhinos here? you take four, and then edict the last rhino on your next turn. Letting them get to three mana doesn't matter much when they have no more rhinos

They would just sack one of the 1-2 zombies that it makes :/

My man playing vengeful pharaoh, love to see it

Pay the pox price, puff the pox pack, print the pox puns. Pox, pox, pox, smoke the pox pack every day all day!!! 🤯🤯🤯

I’m basic. I see life from the loam. I click.

It's fine that algae is blank in most games, it can just be a Liliana discard. It's like the pox version of pitching storm crow to force of will.

The best way to end a year 😍

I am SCREAMING at my screen in round 3 sb against Yawgmoth. STONE OF ERECH ITS FOR THIS MATCHUP

This is pretty close to my modern deck of choice. Stopped playing before Ring, Beans and BowBoy was introduced to modern, and was splashing red for kroxa, W&6 and bolts, basically instead of algea and the top end creatures you have here. Hope this does well in todays meta.

I loved playing pox back in the day. Not sure what's legal in Modern, but I used to run some death clouds for fun in my pox builds. They are absolute blowouts if you can resolve one for X=2 or 3 with a planeswalker in play.

I always want to make Pox work, but I've never ended up putting a deck together for it

53:15 necromentia this turn, go to 7 from next attack, then edict on their following turn. Stabilized.

36:30 Is sac’ing the spreading algae to Braids ever a consideration?

Dross is the one card that seems like an odd fit. It really only gets back Braids, who is legendary. We have a million ways to find (and recur) Takenuma. And we have other great Saga targets pre/post board. Otherwise, the deck construction seems great

Wait, smallpox IS modern legal. how did that never cross my mind...

My question is- Why no blocks diamond?

Round 3 u discarded Mite to pox. Why not loam and get ur loam back on ur next turn?

Just sitting into the deck tech, but i better hear some Waaaaghs in this vid.

Hold up, isnt black Braids in Modern, the original one?

As of MH2, yes. But costing four mana in present Modern with no Dark Ritual makes her not a great option.

Brian is such a control player that the targets the opponent with mill effects while playing a Loam Bloodghast deck. Seriously, why would you not mill yourself with Witherbloom?

I have a LOT of Legacy pox already posted on the channel if you want to search for it. :)

I think algae pox is a bit too cute in a deck thats already trying to be cute with pox itself. I would rather see that slot be something like original black braids or just more removal.

loam pox 8rack might be better, maybe
