PRIMER

Throughout the years, most of my attempts to an infect fell short of my gameplay exepections. The quick cantrippy one shot attacks with small creatures never felt fun or interesting for me.Phyrexia All Is One diversify ''Infect'' gameplay by adding a lot of cards that add poison counters directly to opponents, thus allowing decks to be less reliant on combat damage and more on the proliferate mechanic. I figured it was about time to reconsider building an infect deck that I could enjoy. Enjoy !

DECK OBJECTIVES

1- Quickly assign a poison counter to each opponents with cards like Infectious Inquiry, Infectious Bite or some of the numerous infect creatures in the deck.

2- Use the proliferate mechanics to quickly kill all opponents simultaneously

3- Using Agent Frank Horrigan's triggered ability and other prolifderate triggers to close the game rather than combat damage.

KPI DASHBOARD (03/08/2024) TBD
