Snake Cult Initiation

Enchantment — Aura

Enchant creature

Enchanted creature has poisonous 3. (Whenever it deals combat damage to a player, that player gets three poison counters. A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game.)

One more thing!!

As far as cuts go, anything EXCEPT FOR the following should be cut in favor of a more streamlined strategy with some of the pieces that have been mentioned imo:

Blightbelly Rat Bloated Contaminator Cankerbloom Fynn, the Fangbearer Phyrexian Hydra Scheming Aspirant Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon Thalia and The Gitrog Monster Invasion of Ikoria  Flip Chromatic Lantern Grafted Exoskeleton Snake Cult Initiation Carnivorous Canopy Drown in Ichor Infectious Bite Putrefy Tainted Strike Command Tower Inkmoth Nexus Karn's Bastion

All of these are great picks that can easily slot into the deck's rework.

Agent's Toolkit with proliferate lets you put counters on a LOT of creatures and maybe Snake Cult Initiation

I guess nobody's really spamming Virulent Sliver and Strionic Resonator, or holding back a Nimble Obstructionist for Snake Cult Initiation triggers...

For the sake of devil's advocacy and nitpicking, though, deathtouch was templated as a triggered ability on Thornweald Archer and stayed that way until Zendikar (Giant Scorpion). Why not re-template poisonous? I'm not sure the connotations of poisonous and toxic are that different.

I believe you meant Poisonous, DemonDragonJ ^-^

Only two cards have that, the Sliver and Snake Cult Initiation. Although this hearkens back to my point in Your Elevator Pitch to WOTC about reusing existing content and mechanics, rather than creating entirely new ones each time.

Although, I suppose, Poisonous is only tied to combat damage. Toxic may not be; I'm not sure as I have not read any of the rules text for it as of yet. Still, the spirit of the argument remains.

Nice Killian Deck! I’ve been working on a similar build, Killing Killian, and I think I’ve stumbled onto a few good strategies. I’d recommend Sigarda's Aid to drop your auras at instant speed. When your opponents see Phyresis they’re going to make sure they can block or remove the commander ASAP, but if you wait to drop it before the damage step you can eliminate an opponent before they know it’s coming. I like the idea of sneaky infect wins, so I’ve also included Snake Cult Initiation and Inkmoth Nexus . Nexus will lose its auras at the end of turn, but if you can buff it at instant speed you’ll potentially be able to take someone out. I’m dubious weather Killian can win through regular commander damage, as we need to buff him +19, so I’m really leaning on infect. I’m working on a primer as well, and I’ll be making updates once I have more gameplay data... I’ll probably check back in on your page to see what you’ve come up with as well. Feel free to check out my list and throw some suggestions out as well! Good luck with your Kill Box!

Since Snake Cult Initiation only works for combat damage, switching to Traveler's Cloak is probably the right move.

Swapping Elbrus out for something else is also probably the right idea, but instead of Loxodon Warhammer, try Shadowspear. Either option works, though. I would try Banshee's Blade and Nim Deathmantle instead of Hero's Blade and Trailblazer's Boots

Tezzeret's Gambit seems like an easy include, but I personally wouldn't cut a signet to add it, but possibly something else might do. The various proliferate cards are all useful, so choose which you like most, but if you get your hands on a Contagion Engine, swap out Contagion Clasp for it.

Maybe try Expedition Map and Wayfarer's Bauble instead of a couple of your other ramp spells since you have Muldrotha.

Lastly, I think you can get away with cutting an infect creature if you feel you need something else more.

I was trying to go for an infect subtheme, as getting Phyresis and Snake Cult Initiation on a Rotting Fensnake seems like it would be quite to power play.
