This is currently a work in progress. This is my first deck brew so I'm updating as I play it more and get better ideas of how I want to optimize the playstyle and wincons. I haven't messed with the manabase from the precon too much yet, but it is planned as I learn how to strengthen the deck.

Theme: The general theme of this deck is to create a deadly swarm of phyrexian mites, overrunning the board with numbers and increasing power. Poison counters are another looming threat behind the mites bringing you closer to becoming compleat. I wanted to stick to a phyrexian theme as well with this being the new set so I've included some new phyrexians to to buff the mites making them stronger and plentiful.

Subthemes: Blinking/Flickering Vishgraz and a few other creatures with ETB triggers is one of the subthemes here. Vishgraz is the main flicker focus and combining his ETB with other token doubling sources in the deck makes for a quick way to swarm the board with a lethal amount of mites, or enough to let everyone hang on while Vishgraz becomes large enough to end them next turn. (Subnote: Emiel the Blessed + Ashnods Altar is a nice infinite mite combo. It seemed fun if drawn together but I didn't want to overpower and go tutor for them. May update on how it plays in gener.)
