Hi,

My new ScrollPox (excuse it's my fourth :)...)

Mana :

- 14 Swamp
- 3 Cinder Marsh : very good land, you use it for colorless mana a lot of
time, so you untap it.
- 1 Sulfurous
- 2 Quicksand : so cool...

- 4 Charcoal Diamond : very good with Pox, against winter and for a little
speed, better than Mind stone, I want my Black mana all the time and with
Cursed scroll I don't want to draw others cards.

Base of the deck :

- 4 Pox : THE card
- 4 Choking Sands : you need a land breaker in this deck. Its depend of
your Metagame, you can replace it with rain of tears.
- 4 Stupor (or coercion) : Stupor is good after Pox and coercion is better
before, so you make what you want ;)

- 4 Funeral Charm : good for all, boost a steel golem, kill creatures and
card removal, you can use it all the time in the game.
- 4 Diabolic Edict : The third Better card.
- 1 Evincar's Justice : Its enought, you haven't got the mana for byeback,
and 2 damages can kill you against a lot of big decks (weenie white protect
from black, Sligh...)

- 4 Cursed scroll : The second better card... Creatures removal and beat
the opponent.

- 2 Spinning Darkness : Its your safety, in tournament use it one time and
yours opponents change their reckoning about your life :).
- 2 Drain life

Search and find ;) :

- 2 Vampiric Tutor

The beat :

- 3 Steel golem
- 1 Chimeric Sphere

For finish him :

- 1 Kaervek's Spike
- 1 Kaervek's Torch

Side :

.3 Ankh of Mishra : the better in this deck against Big blue counter. And
you're protect with Diamond...
.4 Bottle Gnome : bye bye sligh
.3 Dread night
.2 Perish
.3 Pyrosalve

Keep in mind than you must have one card in your hand, with this deck you
have just problems when you draw Spinning because you can use it if you
haven't got target, the others cards can be play all the time...So don't
use Undiscovered Paradise its no good with Scroll ;).

You have just one card at 4 mana, the others are just 3 or less mana to
play so you have the needed mana all the time.

I test and play in tournament all the versions of J. Schneider Pox (others
and my own). All the times I have problems against red and Big Blue
counter. The others versions with 3 Evincar's and without Bottle in side
loose against Red (Drain don't save you, you haven't got the mana), and
without choking, and in side: ankh and pyroblast, you can do nothing (I
said nothing) against Big blue with 20 counters and 4 Nevinyrral's.

With this deck I win tournaments now :)...
