Legacy WastePox

It seems that I'm on a roll with decklists this week, and one for every format no less! We have already discussed the card that I'm trying to implement into Legacy - Waste Not. As I mentioned in the article last week, this was the community-created card that the MTG community created last year. Without further ado, here's a decklist featuring Waste Not:

Mono Black Waste Not/Pox

Creatures - 3

3 Bloodghast

Spells - 30

3 Waste Not

4 Dark Ritual

4 Hymn to Tourach

3 Inquisition of Kozilek

3 Thoughtseize

4 Smallpox

3 Cabal Therapy

4 Sinkhole

2 Innocent Blood

Planeswalkers - 4

4 Liliana of the Veil

Lands - 23

4 Wasteland

4 Verdant Catacombs

4 Marsh Flats

11 Swamp

This list heavily relies on Waste Not, so I'm not sure how well overall it will function. However, if you can get a nut hand of Dark Ritual into Waste Not + a discard spell, you could potentially empty your hand on turn 1 and leave your opponent with nothing relevant in their hand. For example, let's say you draw the following 7-card hand:

Swamp

Wasteland

Dark Ritual

Waste Not

Thoughtseize

Hymn to Tourach

Innocent Blood

If your opponent does not counter the initial Dark Ritual or the Waste Not, it's going to be very hard to come back from the beating your hand will take. That line of play would go something like:

Swamp > Dark Ritual > Waste Not > Thoughtseize > Draw a Card. 

Next turn, you Hymn to Tourach and just go off.

Now like most Pox lists it will suffer heavily from lack of countermagic, especially in the recent Delver-heavy meta. Like the other lists I posted this week though, it is just a cool idea that came to mind after Waste Not was spoiled.

Let me know what you think about this list in the comments below!
