Solar Pox

It's probably a bit late to start talking about a new T2 deck since the format is mostly dead except for FNMs for a while. Still, I felt I could generate a little discourse on Solar Pox. It's Solar Flare without Careful Consideration, but with a Haakon + Court Hussar engine that also powers Dread Return.

4 Wrath of God
2 Haakon, Stromgald Scourge
2 Hallowed Fountain
2 Ghost Quarter
4 Court Hussar
1 Condemn
1 Peace of Mind
1 Skeletal Vampire
3 Orzhov Signet
1 Orzhov Basilica
3 Mortify
4 Godless Shrine
2 Angel of Despair
2 Snow-Covered Swamp
1 Snow-Covered Plains
1 Snow-Covered Island
2 Akroma, Angel of Wrath
1 Dimir Aqueduct
2 Darkblast
3 Compulsive Research
4 Watery Grave
4 Smallpox
1 Phyrexian Totem
4 Flagstones of Trokair
3 Dread Return
2 Gemstone Mine

Sideboard:
3 Circle of Protection: Red
1 Haakon, Stromgald Scourge
2 Deathmark
1 Condemn
2 Peace of Mind
1 Faith's Fetters
2 Nightmare Void
3 Trickbind

It feels stronger than Solar Flare in matchups whether opposing deck is heavy on discard and land destruction (it runs Smallpox, so it's fairly immune to it), and it feels like it's better set up against UR Tron since it has more inevitability and a "beat with creature" sub-theme as well as double the animates because of Dread Return. I'm not sure whether it's better or worse against decks like Flag Burner and Zoo, Faith's Fetters (at least in my superior build) versus Peace of Mind is an interesting decision. I think the thing I like the most is removing Remands for more proactive cards, and the thing I like the least is only 3 Signets (turn 3 Persecute/Wrhat is almost impossible now).
