Infect... Counter... Proliferate... {UP}{BP} Burn-Control --- Fun Fact: This deck is almost entirely comprised of cards printed in 'Phyrexia: All is One' (ONE): 58 out of the total 75. 12 cards in the mainboard, and 5 in the sideboard, are from from (DMU) & (BRO). --- ===accordion ===panel: Infect Three particular cards were printed in 'Phyrexia: All is One' (ONE) that effectively birthed a new archetype: - Prologue to Phyresis - Infectious Inquiry - Vraska's Fall A cantrip, a draw spell, and a non-targeting Edict. Looks like something that would fit into a basic {UB}-Control shell quite nicely... ===endpanel ===panel: Control All three prongs of a basic {UB}-Control shell are present: Hand Destruction (placeholders for Thoughtseize) - Duress - Dreams of Steel and Oil Counterspells - Bring the Ending - Reject Imperfection Creature Destruction - Anoint with Affliction - Drown in Ichor ===endpanel ===panel: Aggro Sideboard Due to the fact that I have no idea what kind of meta I am likely to find myself in, the thought of planning my sideboard around specific match-ups that I may, or may not, ever encounter just felt superfluous— at best.. ...then I had an idea... Due to the complete lack of non-land permanents (beyond Vraska) to use removal on (game-1), it is likely that an opponent would sideboard-out most of their relevant removal. I then use this opportunity to sideboard-in six cards to aggressively switch-up the function of the deck, game(s) 2/3.. - 2x Phyrexian Arena - 3x Phyrexian Obliterator - 1x Swamp The Arena is great source of steady card draw for going the distance. But more importantly, Phyrexian Obliterator: The absolute UNIT that is as overpowered as it is underappreciated, has been my favorite card ever since I started playing mtg. So I couldn't pass up the opportunity to use my set of original foil copies from 'New Phyrexia' (NPH) in a Standard format.. The fancy basic Swamp replaces a slightly less fancy basic Island, for the sake of casting Obliterators more reliably.. --- The other 9 cards in the sideboard are there to tweak the {UB}-Control shell as-needed.. ===endpanel ===endaccordion ---
