Infect Control..
When I first started playing MtG, none of my other friends wanted to brew with Infect; so I decided to be the one to represent!
This is a major overhaul of an Infect deck that I have been playing around with off & on ever since I started playing mtg.. However, the type of deck which I had envisioned was simply not possible... at least, not yet...
It was only after Phyrexia: All is One(ONE) was finally released a dozen years later, and with it, my goal of creating a competitive Infect Control deck may finally be achieved!!! This is due to the printing of three otherwise basic spells at common that tack on a "Each opponent gets a poison counter."-clause for an extra
-
Prologue to Phyresis - A (non-Arcane) Reach Through Mists..
-
Infectious Inquiry - Yet another upcosted variant of Night's Whisper..
-
Vraska's Fall - Is basically a Sheoldred's Edict..
With these three cards a (near-)creatureless Infect Control deck is now possible!
As a Control deck, the goal isn't trying to "win" through any specific card or combo, but rather, to cause the opponent(s) to lose while slowly drowning in deep waters..
How you ask?
-
The deck runs over a dozen cards that outright, unconditionally, gives the opponent(s) a poison counter; plus there is the potential combat damage coming from Ichor Rats, animated Inkmoth Nexus', and/or even Mites via Mirrex..
-
Another handful of cards Proliferates as well, including the repeatable Karn's Bastion and the inevitablity engine that is Inexorable Tide..
All of the above is couched within a dedicated Control shell— which, by design, actually gets around the primary weakness of most classical Control decks. That is, the inefficient nature of reactively going "1-for-1" with an opponent, while actively digging for your own WinCon..
Instead, nearly every other card upticks the poison counters. Therefore, the deck aims to slowly and consistently "2-for-1" the opponent(s) to compleation, effectively reducing the game to a quasi- Ten spell countdown..
Slowly and Painfully...
Just as the Founding Phyrexians intended...
Phyrexian Obliterator NEEDS NO EXPLANATION!!!
Actually, because I have idea of what kind of meta I may be stepping into, the Obliterators are a Gambit that I run instead of a normal sideboard strategy.
-
Game 1, an opponent will likely observe that this is a (near-)creatureless Control deck, and board-out their removal spells in favor of other sideboard tech.
-
Obliterators are also great for stonewalling (non-Flying) Aggro decks, both tall and wide alike!
(The fancy Swamp
replaces a slightly less-fancy Island)
Graveyard-hate
I also prefer to run a playset of Faerie Macabre over Leyline of the Void as my Graveyard-hate of choice...
Why, you ask?
Because Faerie Macabre is the ¡Spanish Inquisition! of Graveyard-hate of course!!!
Vs...
The other half of the sideboard, I would assume, should be relatively self-explanatory...
...suggestions for upgrades are always appreciated..
