Intro

This deck aims to hit players with poison counters in the early game, and then hopes to outlast its opponents while Atraxa to proliferate them to death. Ichor Rats is an important part of the deck, since it's the only direct source of poison counters. If an opponent doesn't get poisoned, you may have to switch to commander damage as a win condition. I haven't built or tested the deck yet so it's open to suggestions. I originally built it to be all infect and pump spells, which I think would be effective, but probably not a lot of fun to play.

Card Choices

Off-color Fetchlands: These are included for color fixing (fetching ABU/Shocks), and for Life from the Loam shenanigans. If I find that the life loss is too great, I might scale back on the fetches.

Constant Mists: Too many decks win from one big swing turn due to cards like Insurrection. A repeatable fog effect is nice to have, especially if you're just counting down turns before your opponents die of poison.

Cunning Wish: In 4 colors, you have a lot of options for instants. I threw some counterspells, removal, card draw and pumps in the sideboard for cunning wish to find. It's so hard to justify card slots for hate against specific strategies, so I'm hoping cunning wish will help with that.

Torpor Orb: This card shuts down a lot of generals, and doesn't hurt this deck too much (other than ichor rats and corpse cur).

Astral Cornucopia/Coalition Relic: Both of these artifacts benefit from proliferation.

Corrupted Conscience: Combined with Lightning Greaves, this should pose a major threat.
