Upgrade for the pregen deck. I wanted to stick to the Phyrexian theme so I only used Phyrexian creatures. Also only features cards I actually own.

The gameplan is pretty straightforward: most creatures have either a way of giving opponents poison counters, buffing other creatures, or having some other utility. Non-creature spells are mostly focused on more poison shenanigans, card draw/mana ramp-up, removal, or protecting you or your creatures.

In early game you should be able to play low cost creatures and spells and build up poison counters while at it, and later on cast things that should swing the game in your favor. Things like Norn's Degree and Ghostly Prison should hopefully keep you alive until then.

You can also swap Vishgraz as the commander since it has the same color identity. Might even be better because Ixhel's ability is extremely inconsistent (sometimes you'll steal a card that can swing the game in your favor, but most of the time you'l just get a creature that doesn't synergize with your deck or a basic land), though having a flyer with vigilance and toxic available on demand has won me games.
