Summary: It’s Friday, it’s the day before Scars of Mirrodin is unleashed upon the world, and it’s also time to unleash show 81! This week, the show is about poison, or rather the poison archetype. Scars has infected Magic with a lot of new cards that love to deal poison damage, so I’ve decided to look at how a Standard poison deck might come together. To kick things off, I talk about the good and bad of playing with poison, including some things to think about if you build with poison in mind. After that is a look at a couple of colour combinations, as well as a skeleton poison build that could be the start of a beautiful relationship with the Phyrexian oil. As always, your comments, suggestions and gourmet chocolate suggestions are very welcome at show@deckconstruct.com. Also, don’t forget to check out the DC forums for a nice cup of tea and a chat about Magic. You’ll also find DC on the social aethersphere at Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Flickr.
