Description

"Black Plague" is an infectious force of nature, designed to overwhelm opponents through a relentless spread of poison counters. This deck encapsulates the dark power of Phyrexia, blending precision and control with the raw aggression of infect creatures. With each turn, it corrodes enemy defenses and accelerates their demise, leaving them powerless against the inevitable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Play

Early Game:
Establish your board presence with fast, evasive infect creatures like Plague Stinger and Ichorclaw Myr, forcing your opponent to deal with poison counters right from the start. Use spells like Despise to strip key threats from their hand and maintain early control.

Mid-Game:
Leverage the power of equipment like Cranial Plating and Lashwrithe to turn your infect creatures into lethal threats. Control the battlefield with removal spells such as Dismember and Virulent Wound, while Hand of the Praetors accelerates your poison strategy by rewarding you for playing infect creatures.

Late Game:
Dominate the battlefield with Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, whose haste and regeneration make it a formidable finisher. Use Sword of Truth and Justice to protect your creatures and proliferate poison counters for a swift endgame. If needed, rely on Yawgmoth, Thran Physician for card draw, removal, and proliferate synergy.
