Not sure if you've seen the new Barad-dur, it's from the new Lord of the Rings set. It seems like it would be pretty good in a Pox deck as a finisher, as long as something died that turn (easy in Pox) you can make a 1/1 for 3 mana, or make the existing 1/1 +1/+1 bigger, that seems pretty good for a land in the long games Pox decks produce. Since it's a token it interacts well with Nether Spirit, another asset. It does remind me a tiny bit of Kjeldoran Outpost, only it's in mono-Black, so it's much easier to include in a Pox deck, technically since Barad Dur doesn't cost you a land it's the 'same price' as Outpost, it just looks like more, yet it can scale up if you've drawn a Dark Ritual.

What do you think of it?
