Hapatra, Vizier of Infectious Poisons, based off of Budget Hapatra, Vizier of Poison - EDH / Commander.

Originally the deck was a little weak and a bit unfocused outside of having the common theme of trying to get -1/-1 on opposing critters. The ways it went about doing so varied wildly and were not always super consistent, making it tough to maintain a strong presence or really be a threat. I took out what I believe to be a lot of the weaker cards and made sure that the deck featured almost exclusively on Infect and Proliferate in order to trigger Hapatra's ability more reliably as well as generally make the deck's creatures more threatening without breaking bank in the process.

Cards like Surestrike Trident and Sorcerer's Wand allow for infect creatures to do their thing without risk of being killed and more options to make critters unblockable help them get their poison damage through enemy defensive lines. Contagion Engine is, without a doubt, an amazingly strong artifact for this deck and serves to put opponents in an increasingly worse position unless it's dealt with.

Ichor Rats is a good way to make sure everyone gets a poison counter before the proliferation begins and Phyrexian Crusader makes for a potent early game critter with the bonus of nullifying two strong removal colors. Hand of the Praetors buffs it's fellow infect creatures as well as adds poison counters simply by playing them. Blowfly Infestation is there to help recycle some of those precious -1/-1 counters while also triggering Hapatra and Flourishing Defenses takes great advantage of the deck's theme by giving you tokens whenever you place those -1/-1 counters.

Null Profusion guarantees you'll always have spells to play despite heavily limiting your hand size and Underrealm Lich helps you get what you need faster.
