Welcome to the phyrexian clubhouse, its kind of like a pillow fort. Inside its going to be kind of like a pillow fight, except instead of pillows, I'll be using a sac full of used hypodermic needles...

Strategy

So if it isn't obvious already the idea of the deck is to bog down and tax your opponents to the point of not wanting to attack you, while simultaneously building a phyrexian army. The main feel of the deck is to embody the essence of the events that occurred during the New Phyrexian block, with lots of stuff works for me but not for you kind of effects and Infect.

Wincon

With Atraxa, and multiple other proliferate cards in the deck, Infect is a major player in the deck, but it isn't the only way to win. Running all four Praetors in the decks colors, as well as Phyrexian Obliterator and Wurmcoil Engine, the deck has a reliable source of bombs that can win with outright damage if necessary. With that being said, the main intended hero's of this deck include Ichor Rats, Hand of the Praetors, Blighted Agent and card:skithryx, the Blight Dragon paired with the Proliferation engines in the deck to win by eliminating each other player in the game simultaneously. This is ment to be done all whilst behind your pillow fort of enchantments.

Combo's

Some of the Deck has some intended synergies and combos.(Under Concstruction) Dovescape + Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite can create an effective lock on the opponents

So looking for some sound advice. This is totally a theme/flavor deck. But I'm looking for some help in card selection, Have a lot of cards currently in the maybe pile that I could use some advice on what to substitute out for.

Edits:

switched out Black Market for Wurmcoil Engine and Glistener Elf for Glissa, the Traitor.Putrefax out Odric, Lunarch Marshal
