Poison Deck

Oversoul got me to thinking about the poison mech and I got to wondering if it was possible to built a good or atleast interesting poison deck from the cards we have. Here's what I've come up with, I'm not sure how good it would be but its a starting point. If you were going to build a poison deck what cards would you use?

Most of this idea come from the card idea's thread. I still need to
add four cards.

4 Marsh Viper
4 Swamp Mosquito
4 Wall of Blossoms
3 Pit Scorpion
3 Sabertooth Cobra

4 Dark Ritual
4 Viridian Longbow
4 Instill Energy
3 Fireshrieker
2 Cover of Darkenss
1 Demonic Tutor

4 Bayou
5 Forest
5 Swamp
4 Llanowar Waste
1 Volrath's Stronghold
1 Yavimaya Hollows

I think you need some removal. Hurricanes, Terror, Dark Banishing, Diabolic Edict/Chainer's Decree, combination of those cards and/or others, whatever. :)

I think your right about the removal thing. I keep looking at the
cards I've listed and thinking, What A Pile of Junk! It probably
can't even win a single casual game. They really do need to
give us a few interesting Poison cards. I'll add 4 Dark Banishing
and give it a try, later this week or maybe next week.

I always go with Diabolic Edict/Spinning Darkness over Dark Banishing, but whatever works I guess...

I think the deck is okay, it's just that you'll probably win with damage like all poison decks do rather than poison counters (unless you really try to win with the Swamp Mosquito :) )

even tho it might not be the best deck, it seems really fun to play with.

Looks good, maybe a Regrowth or something could help, but it looks like it would be pretty cool...

Nice ideas. The equipments looks like what the deck needs.

Maybe play sleepers guile instead of cover of darkness, since your snakes are different types anyway.
The manabase cant handle sleepers guile as it is, but I think you have to add more black sources anyway.

Click to expand...
I used to be more up in the air about it, but now I do not doubt that Rancor is the very best creature enchantment ever, with Curiosity in second. Other good ones are Sleeper's Robe, Endless Scream, Flickering Ward, Spinal Graft...

Usually local enchantments aren't so great though...
