About Pox

Pox, Sorcery, designed by Cornelius Brudi first released in May, 2020 in the set Ice Age and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 8.62.

A deck that focuses on resource denial and disruption, such as a control or stax deck, would benefit from using Pox. While Pox can be a powerful card in the right context, there are better options available, such as Smallpox or Death Cloud, which offer more flexibility and potentially greater impact on the game. Whether Pox should see play depends on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck, as well as the overall metagame.

Rules

09/16/07

The losses, discards, and sacrifices are rounded up. For example, if you have 5 life, you’ll lose 2 life, leaving you at 3 life. (Five divided by three is one and two-thirds. Rounding that up to the nearest whole number gives you two.)

09/16/07

The number you need to lose, discard, or sacrifice isn’t calculated until it’s time to perform that part of the effect. For example, if your opponent casts Pox and you discard Dodecapod as part of Pox’s discard effect, Dodecapod will be put onto the battlefield instead of into your graveyard. Then, when determining how many creatures you need to sacrifice, the Dodecapod is taken into account.
