This is my Wither/Infect EDH brew that I have been playing around with for about a year now. This is probably one of the most fun decks that I have built for this format simply because with every turn the board advantage tips slightly in a new direction. When you are constantly flinging out -1/-1 and poison tokens to everything in sight, the pendulum of power is always swinging.

Feel free to leave any suggestions you may have, I am always looking to make this deck better. And if you like it please DON'T FORGET TO +1

I know, I know...when it comes to spreading the love with counters of all kinds, Atraxa, Praetors' Voice is the queen bee. But I have been making this deck since before the 2015 commanders came out so I wasn't about to start over.

Also, Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper adds something to this deck that Atraxa can't; A consistence board presence that allows for a greater aggro theme to take precedence. I like smashing face with creatures, the first ever deck I made was a Rakdos aggro deck. So being able to replace the bodies you lose on the field with tokens is a huge plus in my book and when coupled with Corrosive Mentor all the tokens you get from Sek'Kuar continue with the Wither theme. If you have Parallel Lives out on the field, you get double your value by launching creatures at faces.

This deck is pretty linear in the broad sense. Smash face with creatures, give out counters, smash more face, give more counters and eventually win. But there are many subtle was to go about this, depending on your opponents and the creatures you draw.The idea is to keep the pressure on your opponents and make them block you, but by doing so you are punishing them in the slowest, most manipulative way possible. There are two ways to go about playing this deck and it is dependent on the amount of opponents.

SINGLE OPPONENT: In this type of game it is important to keep the pressure early. Even if they get a big creature just throw small creatures at it and it will shrink. Once you get Sek'Kuar out, then the fun beings. This is when you go full throttle with your creatures and let your tokens sit back until you can swarm and win.

MULTIPLAYER: This type of game you need to be a little more subtle. Try to get a poison counter on every opponent and then use proliferate abilities to win, the best being Contagion Engine. Handle any and all big creatures with Wither abilities and you will make short work of all who stand in your way!
