Oracle Text
Each player loses a third of their life, then discards a third of the cards in their hand, then sacrifices a third of the creatures they control of their choice, then sacrifices a third of the lands they control of their choice. Round up each time.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Pox is a brutally symmetrical Ice Age-era sorcery that turns the whole table into a wasteland, but it is rarely truly equal in a deck built to break parity. In practice, it best supports a control or attrition game plan, especially one that can function with very few resources while the opponent is forced to lose life, cards, creatures, and lands all at once. Because it costs triple black, you want a deck with heavy Swamps, mana acceleration, and recursive threats that survive mass sacrifice effects. Cards that return from the graveyard, produce tokens from the graveyard, or generate value from discard all pair well, and land-light builds can exploit the fact that Pox often leaves both players crippled but you with a better recovery plan. Lore-wise, it feels like a black mana apocalypse: decay spreading in stages, stripping away body, mind, and territory until only ruin remains.
