How has the changes in mulligan rules affected the consistency of the deck?

Deck got a lot out of it. My consistency wasn't effected nearly as badly as combo decks, I didn't need to add more lands and dilute my deck. Add to that most combo decks are Goldfishing degerate shit for 1-2 turns on average slower, I have more time to set up lock pieces. In short; I've been very happy with how the change effected this deck.

Does Tangle Wire really help? I remember using that and it was only good early game IF I was able to use it.

Yeah it's such a huge tempo swing when setting up locks. If you land a Fodder producer before you literally time walk the table 1 or 2 times

I really think you should mainboard Mana Web since your deck is control. And Pox is just proof of the illuminati. +1 from me

Mana web isn't great in my current meta. Most interaction is sorcery speed/creature ETB based, so Web doesn't actually hurt my opponents like it can when theres more inclusive decks. glad you like the list!

Any possible inclusions from Shadows over Innistrad?

Indigoindigo: I feel Asylum Visitor would be cool in this deck, actually. It goes well with Nath of the Gilt-Leaf + Sadistic Hypnotist. =D

Asylum Visitor is pretty narrow, I'd run Deathreap Ritual or Phyrexian Arena first.

Cryptolith Rite could be pretty sweet for when the stax gets a little out of control.

Its on my radar since it would be an earthcraft that can produce green mana to play around contamination, the problem being it's not great early/midgame. Come Friday I'll get a copy and test it out.

Have you noticed any matchups that give this deck trouble EndStepTop? Also I'm thinking of updating my stax deck again and lowering even more of the cmc on some of the spells. I was also wondering how you like Sylvan Library? I don't own one right now but is it really that good? I just want someone's opinion first before I get it because it just looks like a repeatable Brainstorm to me.

Decks that vomit creatures , krenko or purphoros being notable. In 1v1 (the deck isn't built for it, so that may be a more dominant reason) midrange decks do too, since every threat needs and answer and they simply topdeck better than this deck. Library is nuts. If it's a repeatable brainstorm that's fine, I have enough shuffle effects to abuse just that aspect. However in the early game you can pay 8 and just dig through an obnoxious amount of cards. Its 100% worth it.

sweet, I'll try it out. In my glissa deck how I deal with creature swarms is with Oblivion Stone. I can just keep getting it back and it just wrecks face normally so they never really get to set up without me threatening to nuke them. It might be an odd suggestion since this isn't a burn deck but Pestilence effects are great against those creature decks, especially if you run indestructibility. I run those in my rakdos deck and the little guys never survive. Tainted AEther is good too since it stops etb infinites and most creature decks. For 1v1 I've always wanted to make a pocket french edh deck so I can finally use Griselbrand or Iona, Shield of Emeria + Painter's Servant in a Teysa, Orzhov Scion deck. This deck is definitely tailored for multiplayer so making one specifically to end the existence of 1 person might be fun. You could always carry some cards with you that are op in 1v1 like Mind Twist and maybe replace some of the cards with more spot removal (personally not a fan in stax).

When I play actual French I play braids stax or GAAIV control. This deck is built for multiplayer and has suboptimal choices for 1v1.

I miss braids ... play with your 1v1 deck if you are in 1v1 and this deck when you want to make multiple people sad :)

We already run Null Rod... Thinking about testing Damping Matrix to help shutdown problems like Krenko, Mob Boss

Dampening matrix doesn't shut off man's, so I have dismissed it. Its a great card but it's meta specific. It stops hermit druid activations, viscera seer, Saffi combos krenko like you said. The card is great, it just needs to be metagame to be put into the deck.

I think the only nonbo with it in my build is Sadistic Hypnotist. And dude Torpor Orb stops Bane of Progress with an evil smile. I have ghave and krenko players around so it's worth a shot.

How exactly does Faerie Macabre work in this deck, is it just a body that can hate on reanimator deck or are you using the discard for anything

There's a degenerate amount of graveyard BS in my meta atm. Macabre is just the most efficient Gravehate. It's instant and uncounterable.

Braids is banned just so you know

That's why she's in the SB, if a playgroup lets me play her then she goes in.

Thanks for this list man, it's been a real help in refining my Mono Black Pox for competitive play. Because of Mono B's limitations I've been thinking of making the switch over to Nath lately, but Gaea's Cradle is out of my price range. Do you feel like the deck would suffer significantly without it?

Check out my list if you feel like it, I'd love to hear your input.

Love the deck. It seems like it plays very consistant
