Stasis doesn't combo with Scepter, Crypt. What's the deal?

Also, nearly every deck runs 4X Wasteland, Strip Mine. I think a clever player would just nuke the Forsaken City at a critical time to choke off mana to the Stasis.

I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Pox - it was one of the first decks that I ever played. But Pox just won't work in T1, for a couple reasons.

1 - You either have to play broken artifacts (so broken it doesn't matter that the other person has null rods), or play null rod.  This deck plays artifacts, but can't deal with null rods (and half the decks run them). Against broken artifact decks, their artifacts are not affected by Pox, so you lose there too.

2 - The win condition is not fast enough. In the modern T1, you either have to win fast or get a serious lock. E.g. even 4 Color Control has to beat down with Angel fast to be successful (compare to the old Weisman control, which could win at its leisure after the scepter lock). The reason is that cards these days are so powerful you just cannot spare any time as the opponent top-decks. One (Draw 7 | Tinker | Cunning Wish | Ancetral | Intuition | Tog | Null Rod) and your game is over.

So ...  some cards just cannot compete anymore. Pox is one of them.

I think you misunderstand. It seems to me that this deck wins by playing Will. Before Will, one could brainfreeze oneself to stock up the graveyard. Post Freeze Will would get an extra 6 or 9 cards in the graveyard to play around with. BF isn't the kill card, but rather a form of draw.

What about putting brain freeze in the deck ...
Freeze in response to Will could be interesting. It is like Ancestral, but with Storm.
