WE ARE PERFECTION MADE FLESH. ALL WILL BE ONE.

The shackles that bound us have broken; the Father of Machines has fallen, and now the time has come for the enslavement of the multi-verse. Consume those who oppose us; the age of New Phyrexia has come, and all will succumb to the end of time. The Great Work has begun.

What is this deck?

This is a casual EDH infect deck built using only cards from Scars block. It's intended to remain as flavourful as possible in the context of being a "Phyrexian army" led by Glissa to infect your opponents and compleat them, so they may fully embrace the power of the Phyrexian onslaught.

How do you win?

Go wide with lots of infect creatures early, maybe a Signal Pest or Ichor Rats to speed up the counters, and proliferate for the end game. If the game drags on too long, Blightsteel Colossus and Triumph of the Hordes works wonders for speeding up the clock and closing the game. Glissa, the Traitor can recur Moriok Replica and the Spellbombs for extra value, not only for their printed effects but with Throne of Geth to tick those counters up even faster. Additionally, there are some Voltron pieces that can help buff your little infect creatures just that extra more to hopefully take opponents out a turn sooner. Don't forget the power of the Mimic Vat; New Phyrexia's inventions only serve to empower it's vast army, and your creatures can't stay dead forever, for they will all eventually rise (Thanks also to Corpse Cur and Praetor's Counsel).

Why the restriction?

Flavour reasons mostly. Wanted a deck that really felt like you were facing down the NPH army, just like the Mirrans were, but for EDH. Plus it was an interesting deck building restriction!

There's also the Mirran counterpart, The Heart of Mirrodin Burns which has the same restriction but a Mirran focus!
