B/W Smallpox Control

This deck is built with the intention of limiting your opponents permanents. It based around the pox deck that is played in legacy.

===================================================================================================

CARD SELECTION

Smallpox - This card is a great. It sets our opponents back a turn, whilst often times, hardly impacting our board or hand at all. It synergies with Bloodghast, Lingering Souls, Kitchen Finks, Flagstones of Trokair and to a lesser extent our two plainswalkers.

Liliana of the Veil - I don't think anyone needs to question the power level of this card. It does everything this deck wants to be doing. It controls the board for us and limits the opponents hand. Unanswered this card will win the game in no time.

Flagstones of Trokair - This card has some neat interaction with this deck. Aside from the obvious get a land back after Smallpox. We can, if we are hurting on color fixing, blow it up using Ghost Quarter and search out a land. Then we also get to search for a land from the ghost quarter activation. This comes up a bit as having double black is rather important.

Lingering Souls - Protects Liliana of the Veil can be discarded to her or Smallpox and flashed back. The tokens are wonderful carriers of the swords in the deck.

Dark Confidant - Our card advantage engine. This card does so much for the deck. It navigates around all the 2 sided discard, lets us find answers faster and in the worst case beats down like a champ.

Path to Exile - This is possibly the most controversial card in the deck - getting our opponent a "free" land isn't something we want to do. However, this spell is just too good not to include. It is our catch all card.
