Deck Description

Control deck with added poison. The deck is designed to be quick and powerful early on and then later on to clear the board and to then bring back your creatures with Corpse Cur for the win. The sideboard is tailored to deal with artifact decks, white-weenie decks and if you need the extra card draw for the advantage. The idea is to play your Blight Agents as early as possible and lay down poison counters and then to follow them up with Phyrexian Crusaders with Distortion Strike to lay down more counters. The Reapers of Sheoldred are an excellent tool for putting down poison counters because no matter if they're blocked or not, your opponent is taking a poison counter and if they block, your opponent recieves a counter for just attacking you. On a good draw, the fastest this deck can win is turn 5.

Deck discussion for Control and Poison

To be honest, I would lose the Caress of Phyrexias. I'd also drop to less than 4 Life's Finales...maybe just 2. Blighted Agent is a nightmare if you have board control, which you should...So I'd strongly consider them. Finally, Tezzeret's Gambit might be a nice draw mechanic in addition to giving proliferate =]

Hope that helps man =]

I might have to try that. I have some moolah burning a hole in my pocket so I may buy those thing you suggested. I may stick the extra 2 Life's Finale into my sideboard incase mass clearance is needed on a more regular basis. And are you sure about the Caresses? I've found them really useful. Maybe thats something else I should shift to the sideboard. My sideboard is basically a mish mash of cards that were in my deck but I switched out, so that kinda needs redoing lol.

xD Sorry about the link spam on your decks.
