The Key to Trox, Master of Hand Control - Justin Florio

    I have seen many people playing darkness decks with an attempt at control of hand and field. When I ask them why they are not playing Trox, General of Destruction, the people say he is way too expensive. Now, call me crazy, but there are ways around this. So, I decided to try and make a control deck around Trox. He is a very beefy creature and has good effects, so I decided to try and prove these people wrong. By combining the power of darkness creatures with the force of nature, I have concocted a deck that has very good control, even with using Trox. He is actually one of the key creatures in this deck. Now I know the administrators of DM Pojo may shun me for sending them a deck in the Duel Yammers section, but I see other decks, so I decided to give it a try. This is not only a deck though, but advice/tips on how to control the hand with Trox, as well as control the field.

Darkness

x4 Trox, General of Destruction

x4 Horrid Worm

x4 Locimotiver

x4 Gregorian Worm

x4 Chaos Worm

x4 Terror Pit

x4 Ghost Touch

Nature

x4 Bronze-Arm Tribe

x4 Posionous Mushroom

x2 Elf-X

x2 Mana Nexus

So there you have it. The nature cards will make it much easier to use higher end spells and creatures. While you are stacking up your removal spells and creatures, your opponent will be hitting shields, which have a high chance of being shield triggers. As you get more mana and Elf-X out, your creatures will flood the battle zone and use their effects, keeping your opponent's creatures off the field and keeping their handing relatively empty. I hope this helps you guys trying to control the field as well as the hand. And I hope this can help you use Trox a bit. O yea, this deck has been playtested against nature/water, mono water, darkness/water control, and mono fire decks. It has one all of the duels it has faced.
