I dont know if this is just a thing on my end or if its everyone I've been just watching this deck list for a couple of weeks now but just recently the change log disappeared. I just wanted to know if that could be reenabled so we can view the method of madness of change over the next few months.

Mortlocke, I think you're right. Tekuthal effect reads good but if there isn't room for it, I wouldn't stress over it. I rather have Tezzeret because you also get card draw on top of proliferate.

I feel like the deck description should be All Will Be Ten.

Quickspell, All Will Be Ten? Why Ten?

Mortlocke Poison!

@Quickspell ok, that actually made me giggle.

Mortlocke Have you thought about adding any of the new cards from March of the Machines? I wish they gave us more Toxic cards to play with. I'm kinda drawn towards Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos, since it gives us Phyrexian creatures through Incubate that could act as blockers/deterrents from attacking us, since when the tokens die (or any other Phyrexian creature), we can proliferate at the end of each turn (presumably they are already Poisoned haha).

Phyrexian Censor also seems like a good fit for your deck, since you've got that Stax-y subtheme. It could help slow down the game and let the Poison proliferate away.

I am only here to praise your impressive graphic design/CSS work.

You bring glory to Phyrexia!

UltimateRoxas40 thanks for stopping by. I too wish MOM had more Toxic creatures for us to use - but overall the set decided to go in a very different direction with Incubate as the Phyrexia specific mechanic. As neat as it is (basically a strictly better Amass) I can't get behind adding it as adding in yet another sub-theme would make the deck sub-optimal overall. Phyrexian Censor definitely gives me pause. My only wish is that it had Toxic 1 then I'd toss it in for Ichorclaw Myr. I think i'm going to get a copy of it just in case I feel like experimenting with it. Worst case scenario it'll find a home in my soon to be upgraded Corrupting Influence precon. Thanks for swinging by, have you made any updates to your Atraxa build? I'm going to check your deck page in a few.

Massacar thank you for the nice words! I honestly have no idea if anyone actually likes any of my CSS customization (well besides me lol). I really appreciate it!

Mortlocke I'm more interested in Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos's Proliferate ability, just to drive the poison home more quickly. But I get not wanted to add another element to the deck haha. Funny enough, I was actually going to swap out Ichorclaw Myr and put in Phyrexian Censor too haha. Ichorclaw Myr never did a lot for me, and having something to slow my opponents down just a little bit while I Poison them or build up my +1/+1 counters seems pretty good. I just need to get a copy of it first.

Hey Mortlocke. I just wanted to let you know that I have become Compleated. Love this deck design and how it all meshes together so well. I've proxied the deck against some friends and it normally nets a win in 4 to 5 turns for me. Definitely converting to this from my Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow commander deck.

NoLifeGrimmjow,

Thank you for taking the time to comment and give my build such praise. Phyrexia is truly one of my all time favorite tribes and this deck is in celebration of them and what they represent. Personally, I still hold a grudge against Wizards for the hack job they did in creating some of a "story" regarding the Phyrexian invasion - it's like they ordered it off of Wish. But I digress - i'm glad you chose to proxy the deck. I do realize that these pieces can be very expensive, but to just get out there and play is the point and i'm glad my build inspired you to do so.

Turns 4 to 5 is quite fast, typically I've experienced an attempt at winning between turns 5 and 8. You must've gotten some great draws and would love to hear about the avenues of play you've discovered. I'm glad you've found a new deck to enjoy, and I look forward to hearing from you again.

P.S. I'm always down for games on Spell Table.

Mortlocke

Opening hand was amazing. Mana Crypt, Gemstone Mine, Reflecting Pool, Blighted Agent, Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, Prologue to Phyresis, and Imperial Seal. First draw was Thrummingbird, then Sword of Truth and Justice, then Imperial Seal for Command Tower,then Counter spell. I couldn't ask for a better set-up

I've been out of the loop with MTG for a couple years, cool to see the new Phyrexian goodies and Toxic mechanic!

Guessing you don't run Inexorable Tide because of it's double blue cost?

Phyrexian Swarmlord seems decent, high cost but does make token board presence with infect, not sure how he would be slotted if you chose to run him?

Guessing this deck is more of a 1v1 based deck? Or group, or both?

Evolution Sage seems good too if cast early, to proliferate off of land drops, I get it isn't Phyrexian based but seems decent too.

Cheers great deck! Gave me ideas to upgrade my Atraxa!

Managem,

Always a pleasure to have new visitors to the page, welcome. Magic has gone through multiple changes in the past couple of years with everything getting multiple art treatments, power creep, and a whole host of different products that seem to lose more and more relevance with each new iteration. But I digress, I love the Toxic mechanic. Sure it doesn't quite have the explosive potential of Infect, but it can still put in work with it's sibling mechanic Corrupted.

As for your questions about certain notable exclusions from the deck:

• Inexorable Tide - This was once in the deck, but had to be cut simply due to a lack of space. 5 mana with 2 blue pips is a steep ask for a card that does literally nothing on cast. The usefulness of this card is entirely contingent on how large of a hand I have, and how many counters I have in play to target for proliferation. If none of my opponents have poison counters, and none of my creatures have +1/+1 counters on them...then what's the point? That's the unfortunate position this card holds in that it requires a steep investment for little pay off more often than not.

• Phyrexian Swarmlord - Much like the previously mentioned, Swardlord requires a great deal of set up to be relevant that amounts to nothing more than a win-more card. If there aren't a plentiful amount of poison counters already on my opponents then this card is simply a 4/4 for 6 - not a worthwhile investment of mana.

• Evolution Sage - This too was once in the deck until more relevant creatures came and replaced it. I'm not trying to be rude or anything but there was a big retcon that created the Phyrexian tribe. Every creature in the deck is a Phyrexian as a result of said retcon and therefore benefit from cards like Urza's Incubator and Cavern of Souls. Tribal issues aside, Evolution Sage is only as good as the number of land drops I have per turn which at most is only 2. to make this card a worthwhile inclusion I'd have to carve out more space for additional land drops in the form of Burgeoning and Exploration which is more trouble than it's worth. This card would be better suited for a different deck.

The deck is for both a 1v1 and Group setting - the hardest part is overcoming the politics and stigma of playing Poison counters. It's one of my favorite mechanics regardless, and always enjoy my games - archenemy status and all. Thanks for coming by and checking out the deck. Thanks for the +1 and the nice words, good luck with your own build and let me know if you have any questions.

Virulent Plague hoses most tokens permanently until its removed. Aether Snap deals with all token and counters on permanents. Key point is it doesnt remove poison counters from players.

I use Archfiend of Depravity in my Kaalia of the Vast deck to deal with big wide decks myself. Unless all those things have haste, this hoses their board each turn.

Just my initial thoughts if they help :)

UltimateRoxas40,

I'm still waiting for my copy of Phyrexian Censor to arrive in the mail, but I feel like this card is a great inclusion in the deck that only now i've finally been able to be certain about after finally getting out of the house and playing a few games. It definitely fits thematically, and will absolutely be trouble if Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant is on the battlefield beside it. Now opponents will have to jump through an additional hoop when they decide to cast a spell to pitch to Jin's counter ability and attempt to cast what they really want to cast. Wow, I almost feel bad for my future opponents when they face that wonderful synergy. Hah, filthy heretics. Thanks again for the suggestion, I'm definitely going to list that synergy as one of the deck's core combos.

Glad you liked it. Glory to Phyrexia!

I still need to get a copy myself. I'll be swapping it in for Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos. I originally liked the extra proliferate, but it never did enough when I played it, and the incubate tokens are pretty underwhelming. I also originally thought his ability triggered on all artifact spells, not just artifact creatures. Reading the card explains the card I guess haha.

Have you thought about Roaming Throne? I know your deck doesn't have an abundance of creatures, but since everything is Phyrexian, you could double up on the triggers on creatures like Bloated Contaminator, Ichor Rats, and even Atraxa, Praetors' Voice. Cut the turn count in half if everyone is infected.

I am amazed by your wall. How can I get my wall for my Phyrexia deck like this? This is just amazing

Avacyn1986,

Thank you for the praise! As for how I got my deckpage set up the way it is, it's not exactly simple. I'll give a jist:

1. Become a member of the site, and gain coding privileges.

2. Learn a little bit of CSS. Fortunately, the wonderful FancyTuesday created awesome tutorials to get you started. User Page: Beginner and User Page: Advanced.

3. Have a vision - have a good idea of what functions you want for your deck page, and find some code that could potentially work. Google is your friend. When you don't understand the code you ask people smarter than you like Wihito and multimedia for help.

4. Have fun creating your vision.
