Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Pox is a brutal black sorcery that epitomizes attrition: nobody escapes intact, but a deck built to exploit asymmetry can come out ahead. In practice, it best supports control and resource-denial shells, especially those that can break parity with recursive threats, mana rocks, planeswalkers, or lands that generate value from the graveyard. Because each player loses a third of life, discards, sacrifices creatures, and sacrifices lands, it is at its strongest when you cast it after emptying your own hand or while ahead on board, turning the spell into a devastating reset for slower opponents. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair Pox with cards that recover lands or recur permanents, such as Strip Mine-style denial packages, Crucible of Worlds effects, or creature recursion like Bloodghast-style threats. Thematically, it feels like an apocalyptic black ritual—everything is reduced, but the mage who planned for ruin can still stand.
