I upgraded my first Precon i bought. Suggestions Welcomed !
This Deck focuses on counters,poison,proliferate and incubate.
The Gameplan:
Summon Brimaz as early as possible he is your driving engine and try to protect him with Timely Ward,Lightning Greaves and Etching of the Chosen,(Skrelv Devector Mite).
Try to get a poison counter on your opponents early as possible with low cost creatues like:Blightbelly Rat,Ichor Rats,Pestilent Syphoner,Skrelv Defector Mite or similar...
alternative ways for poison counters:
Vraskas Fall,Norns Decree,Infectious Inquiry,Necrogen Communion,Phyresis Outbreak
Build your defense and offense with Incubate tokens proliferate there counters to get a strong board, while proliferating the poison counters on your opponents at the same time.
Youre playing on 2 fronts with 2 win cons.
Unique Ramp:
You got your typicall ramp like Arcane Signet, Sol Ring or Talisman of Hierarchy but also couple of ramp cards that can gain more value trough proliferating like:
Everflowing Challice and Astral Conucopia since they work with counters.
Extra ramp with Glistening Sphere if you got 3 poison counters on an opponent.
Replicating Ring works with counters proliferate and get bunch of mana much faster
Inspiring Statuary (Incubate and Mites can be used to cast Spells).
Card Draw:
There are draw options with a extra cost like paying 2 life or sacrificing a creature: Corupting Conviction, Infectious Inquiry and Village Rites.
Norns Decree allows you to draw and draws attention from you on your other opponents under the circumstance
that you dont have a poison counter.
Vanquishers Banner works well since 95% of our creatures are Phyrexians.
Skull Clamp is usefull since you can equip it on to Mites and instantly draw 2 cards as long as they are not buffed.
Idol of Oblivion use it for draw and in case you have a dead hand tap it to create a creature in mid/late game.
Phyrexian Arena
Counters +1/+1:
All Incubates have Counters on them !
Bloodline Pretender works well in this Deck since we can proliferate his Counters and 95% of our creatures are 1 type (Phyrexians)
Feast of the Victorious Dead works well in this Deck since Toxic Creatures usually get deffended and die fast. Drivnod Carnage Dominus can get 2x Value out of this Enchantment.
It can trigger trough sacrificing (there are multiple Cards you can sacrifice with)
Aron Benalias Ruin puts a Counter on all your creatures for 1 Sacrifice.
Bloated Processor gains a Counter for a Sacrifice and gives you double Value since he incubates his Power when he dies.
Filigree Vector also puts Counters on all your board Creatures.
Gurgling Anointer gets a counter for drawing a second card = (More Value for his second ability)
Invasion of new Cappena after you destroy it. (Equipment +1/+1 counter on all Phyrexians when attacking)
Resourceful Defense (moving and saving counters)
Proliferating options:
Artifacts: Contagion Clasp,Contagion Engine, Throne of Geth,Glistening Sphere
Creatures: Brimaz,Filigree Vector,Gulping Scraptrap,Blightbelly Rat
Land: Karns Bastion
Sorcery: Drown in Ichor
Often times poison counters draw the focus of your opponents on to you, thats where our Life gain comes into play to hopefully survive longer and get in those last poison counters.
Life drain/gain:
Drain and Gain:
Vran Executioner Thane (triggers by creatures you controll die),Scheming Aspirant (triggers by proliferating)
Life Gain:
Noxious Gearhulk (Creature), White Suns Twilight(Sorcery), Feast of the Victorious Dead (Enchantment)
Vault of Archangel activated gives Lifelink (Land)
Removal:
We have diffrent kinds of removals in this Deck.
trough -1/-1 stats or counters: Contagion Engine, Contagion Clasp, Phyresis Outbreak, Drown in Ichor
trough destroying: Noxious Gearhulk, White Suns Twilight (board wipe)
trough exile: Invasion of new Cappena, Sunfall (boardwipe)
trough sacrificing: Phyrexian Obliterator, Vraskas Fall
Recursion is very helpfull in this deck since you can get removal creatures (Noxious Gearhulk, Phyrexsis Obliterator) back into play or creatures that can proliferate or poison (Blightbelly Rat, Gulping Scraptrap, Ichor Rats).
You can also use it to get back your best engine cards like: Mondrak or Drivnod
Recursion:
Creatures: Sheoldred Whispering One
Artifact: Vat of Rebirth (can be proliferated)
We even have a recursion card for artifacts trough Vulpine Harvester.
Honorable mentions:
Phyrexian Censor (slows down your opponents)
Phyrexian Obliterator is even a bigger threat when you can make him undestructable.
Flesh eater Imp can end the game very fast for a opponent if you have enough Mites or other creatures to sacrifice.
Win cons :
General:
Fast big board trough Incubation with counters on all creatures.
Slow but sometimes effective, poison counters.
Single Cards:
Elesh Norn beat down.
Flesh eating Imp by getting a big amount of Poison counters at once if they cant def a flying creature.
My favourite finishing combo:
My favourite winning combo:
In an optimal scenario youll need a undestructable Mondrak,Glory Dominus (protected trough Timely Ward or Etching of the Chosen or trough its ability), White Suns Twilight with lots of mana on board and Grafted Butcher in the graveyard or in hand.
Use White Suns Twilight with as much mana as possible and wipe your opponents board, create tons of 1/1 Toxic 1, Mites
and wait until your next turn.
Now you have a small army of Toxic mites and opponents with a weak board state. Sacrifice an artifact or creature and cast Grafted Butcher out of your graveyard or hand.
All your mites get +1/+1 and menace finish your opponents with Toxic 2/2 Mites with Menace.
This obviously works with just White Suns Twilight and Grafted Butcher in the graveyard or hand ,
but its twice as strong with a protected Mondrak.
You can even use the ability of a Land, Vault of the Archangel to give them all Lifelink and Deathtouch.
