To get information, to thin the deck, to do tricks with darkblast, fill the graveyard for tombstalker. Things like that . I prefer them to discard actually.
I have won games vs burn where i poxed twice (kill tool being the Rack). It is fun and fast:-).
Burn is very weak against discard. However it is vital that you have threats in play to avoid a long game.
Otherwise he will just bolt you with his top deck till you are dead.
If you want to be cruel then chalice of the void is recommended. Do not forget to play it on two, too. Not all burn spells cost 1 mana. Wheel of torture can be played if you worry about compatibility with chalice.
your sideboard choices vs burn look very wrong to me. Discard and pox both work well here. Syphon life have i not run, so no comments, but extirpate does nothing. Probably same with totem. It stops Grim lavamancer, but what else?
i agree that Bob is playable in Pox.
Maybe I should fork out the money for a play set... It is an investment after all.
Someone mentioned losing because of not enough win cons. I ran a deck with ghosts, bloodsoaked champions and the rack last week. I got 1-1 result vs fish and miracles because I failed to find something to kill them with:'(
Thanks for the answer!
Unfortunately it give the result "Forbidden You do not have access to perform that action."
