Hey, I'm thinking of making a coronavirus-themed deck. I don't have a list so far, but I've got a couple of gatherer searches to narrow down the scope of cards.

Search 1 Name: OR pesti pox nause infec sick plagu contag

https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&name=|[pesti]|[pox]|[nause]|[infec]|[sick]|[plagu]|[contag]

Search 2 Rules Text: OR infect "-1/-1" wither germ proliferate

https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&name=+![pesti]+![pox]+![nause]+![infec]+![sick]+![plagu]+![contag]&text=|[infect]|[%22-1/-1%22]|[wither]|[germ]|[proliferate]

So, who's the commander? There seems to be enough black cards to go mono-black with Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, but I could branch out to red and blue using Garza Zol, Plague Queen

Any thoughts? Has anybody else done this yet? Send me some deck links if so!

UPDATE Added a deck link Karona Virus OFFICIAL

Pharika, God of Affliction or Silumgar, the Drifting Death, definitely.

Simply my man Yawgmoth, Thran Physician. He spreads the disease and then everyone dies because he makes It proliferate.

I vote Spacegodzilla, Death Corona (Void Beckoner) to put in the deck.

This might make Spacegodzilla, Death Corona a bit hard to obtain though.

So the decklist is complete. Because it's 5 colour, I've been able to explore a bunch of different themes, not just plague, but also propoganda, staying at home, and hoarding resources.
