First off, I would like to note that this is not even close to a finished product, but I figured posting the decklist here would net some different perspectives. This deck originally was just a control deck with a discard package to go along with Nath, but I can't resist putting Smokestack or Braids, Cabal Minion in. With that in mind, I'm not sure how much this deck would qualify as a stax deck, and I'm not sure how far into the stax archetype I want to go. Anyway, here's the decklist:
I will add a card by card breakdown when I get the chance. I do want to point out that I have no mana dorks because folks in my meta have a tendency to carry a lot of wraths. In addition I'm somewhat unhappy that, in order to make many of the global effects one sided, I need to have Nath out. Creatures don't have much of a tendency to stick around for long in my meta, so I probably want to add in Awakening Zone and Bitterblossom to help. Also, there is some anti-synergy with necropotence and the global discard spells as well as with Torpor orb and several creatures. However, I'm okay with this because Torpor Orb will always be more painful for my opponents (since I'm low on ETB creatures), and Necropotence is just awesome.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Also, I understand many folks dislike cards such as Desolation, Braids, Smokestack, etc. While I can see how these cards could be deemed "unfun", I would appreciate it if this sort of discussion did not occur in this thread.
