I feel that one of the top power decks in the current type 2 field is the Pox
deck. The main deck Bottomless Pits are so strong against control and the
Cursed Scrolls, along with Ensnaring Bridges are amazing against all speed
decks. The Poxes and Discard also helps to slow down ProsBloom. Here is a
standard deck list:

POX
4 Bottomless Pits
4 Charcoal Diamonds
4 Cursed Scrolls
4 Ensnaring Bridges
4 Funeral Charms
4 Mind Stones
4 Pox
4 Scalding Tongs
4 Steel Golems
4 Stupors
18 Swamps
2 Volrath's Strongholds

Sideboard
3 Perish - Stompy
3 Glooms - White w/ Geddon
4 Phyrexian Furnaces - Godzilla/14
3 Bottle Gnomes - Speed
2 Touchstones - Worbs

I feel this deck deserves serious consideration for the ten power decks
because I have played it and seen it played, but have not yet seen it lose.
One of the best parts is that it can easily paris mulligan once or twice with
no penalty, thanks to the poxes, scrolls, tongs, and pits, which really even
the score. Think about it.
