EndStepTop I have a question for someone who plays /. I personally don't own the card but if you have used it, has Abrupt Decay worked for you in the format. It seems very strong against cancerous blue decks and I know that Smother is a popular pick in Tiny Leaders.

I like abrupt decay, not just because of the prevalence of but because it answers so many permanents like Necropotence or a sword of x and y.

It might be a good choice for removal but I'll stick to Krosan Grip until I can nab one. I replaced a lot of the more expensive cards in the deck (CMC Wise) with cheaper cards and added more ramp.

What you think about No Mercy

venok I really like that card actually. It was one of my first stax cards and I'm pretty fond of it. Very very strong if you back it up with some degenerate lifegain or drain. It would be my budget replacement for Nether Void or Damnation.

That is a very long description, so +1.

Thanks for the upvote poox523. I tried to make a database of all sorts of stax cards that people could abuse and I researched and found these cards so that I could share them. There are a lot of budget picks in the list because not everyone can afford a Nether Void and everyone should get to enjoy stax :)
