Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Disclaimer: *This is one deck of five I am making to serve as a pod to play with my friends where each deck focuses on one of the Phyrexian praetors and their respective dominus. The other decks can be found on my account. I would like the decks to sit at a 4-5/10 on power level at a normal table but be as well balanced around each other as possible.*\n\nThe deck is built so that any of the three options can serve as a decent commander. Each one focusing on a specific theme in the deck. Each theme gets 16 card slots dedicated to it with 15 general cards to round out the experience. I did my best to overlap the themes as much as possible to build synergy. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"background":"var(--light-background)","color":"var(--color)"},"insert":"Jin-Gitaxis, Core Augur - Card Draw"},{"insert":"\nJin-Gitaxis, Progress Tyrant - Big Spells/Artifacts\nTekthul, the Inquiry Dominus - Proliferate\n\nThis deck is fairly weak when it comes to direct combat damage but has many alternate win cons the different themes can play for. The Card Draw theme has by far the most options when it comes to win cons, mostly wanting to get off a Thassa's Oracle, Laboratory Maniac, or even Triskaidekaphile. The theme also has some light mill options as well if needed. The Big Spells/Artifacts theme mostly focuses on accumulating value and has some potential to win via combat damage with some of the larger Artifacts Creatures in the deck.The Proliferate theme is in much the same boat as the Big Spells/Artifacts theme but has the ability to kill with poison counters if the right cards can be found early. \n\nSuggestions for deck edits/cards to try to better synergize the themes would be greatly appreciated. Especially those that also fit into the overarching Phyrexian theme on the deck. Thanks for looking! Glory to Phyrexia, all will be one!\n"}]}
