Stax with shops but no power?

[KirbusPrime]

Ok, I find stax absolutely fascinating.  I've tinkered around with a lot of magic decks in the past, but in the end, everything I've ever had success with is some sort of prison deck.  To me, stax is the ultimate.  I'd die to play it, but I can't get a hold of the power.  Now, I do have Illusionary Masks, and a Moat, and some other cards that are expensive but not power.  Does anyone here think it is possible to build a stax deck not using any power?  (My meta is unpowered too).  Thanks for taking the time to answer the newbies question.

It seems difficult to pull off but if your metagames is unpowered then it could potentially be possible.

I've seen t1.5 versions (actually they were Welder Mud, which I also find to be awesome)  and yeah, there is little to no power in my meta.  Would Welder MUD function better as a budget?  It had the same idea, which I find to rock, so I would be cool running that (I have 4 Welders and three metal workers too...)

It would definetly be better in 1.5 with no power since that saves you all the expensive stuff.  To bad this isn't a Type 1.5 website.  You could try stax w/o power but it will be difficult MUD would probably be a better option.  Both need power to be at their best though.

Well I don't really play against power, so I guess my meta is really similar to 1.5.  I'm going to try and make a welder MUD deck.

Breaking the rules = not a good plan.
