This is a new deck, it's a virgin, but I am hoping for my first deck post, it's a good one.  Once I have playtested, after revising the deck, I will post it again here with any changes I might have made, and a small report on testing.

Any suggestions?

Decklists with no discussion is not tech.

So what is the idea? Oath up a baloth, so you can gain some life when you pox? Seems like when oath can put something huge out and just win (akroma) you are silly doing a baloth trick to net 1-2 life after a pox.

On the other hand, pox does a good job of killing stuff by itself (well not that good, its pretty unplayable ).  How does this help pox along?


Edit - probably should have posted this on the newb forum.

So 3 Baloths are you only threats? Virtually every deck will be able to deal with 3 Baloths.

No playtesting and no discussion. Moved to Newbie.


Next time use the exact cardnames please, English is not the mother language of most of the people here. I edited your post.
