Witch-Maw Control: Poison & Goad

[Sarkany]

This deck is a response to trying to play my favorite archetype (Control Poison) at my local hobbyshop's Casual Commander nights, and so I don't want to be that person running infinite combos for the win--in fact, that's in part why I'm running so much removal (besides me naturally going for Dimir Control).

Realized this most recent Casual Commander night that I need more artifact hate--also, I could use more establishing Poison Counters, then proliferates, plus counter spells, but where's the room?

There's a player who attends the Casual Commander evenings who runs a Shrines deck, so for him I'm adding to my Sideboard some permanent boardwipes.
