DRIRAKANE is a mythic patron for The eedi-H Channel and requested I build him an Atraxa infect deck, as per his Patreon tier. The caveats being that it should have Ichor Rats in the deck, do well against counter spell/control players and have a Phyrexian theme. That's a lot to cram in to one build but I think I've got a healthy balance of everything in here.

---

First off, with Ichor Rats being a must, I decided to include an I Rats combo:

Ichor Rats + Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Aluren + Cloudstone Curio = infect everyone out of the game.

DRIRAKANE did note that he likes the idea "where everyone dies of infect at once". So replace Melira with any other creature and you can take everyone out with infect at the same time.

---

Proliferate can be useful because we're not always going to be able to get damage through:

Evolution Sage, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Tezzeret's Gambit, Grim Affliction, Contagion Engine, Karn's Bastion

A last minute cut I made in this category was Pollenbright Druid. PD in the cloudstone/aluren combo above can get you infinite proliferates. Something to consider if you wanted to make a couple of changes.

---

DRIRAKANE's meta has plenty of counters and control. We, therefor, have some control hate in the deck:

Swan Song, Mana Drain, Conqueror's Flail, Defense Grid (note that this effects you too), Grand Abolisher

Carpet of Flowers also rewards us for constantly going up against blue decks.

---

There's a little bit of bufs/plus counters love in here too to help pile on further infect:

Empyrial Plate, The Great Henge, Cathars' Crusade, Return of the Wildspeaker, Gavony Township

---

Then there's rocks that benefit from proliferate as well, due to them having charge counters:

Astral Cornucopia, Coalition Relic, Everflowing Chalice
