Deck overview

This deck is a aggressive Rakdos poison strategy helmed by Ingris Stingerquill. Ingris alters traditional combat math by turning any attacking infect creature into a global burn source: when an infect creature attacks, Ingris triggers that creature to deal 1 direct damage to each opponent. Because the attacking creature is the source, each opponent immediately gains a poison counter on attack declaration, completely bypassing blockers. The 99 is saturated with low-cost infect creatures such as Plague Stinger, Phyrexian Crusader, and Ichorclaw Myr, supported by table-wide poison enablers like Ichor Rats and Phyresis Outbreak. Once all opponents carry poison counters, the deck leverages proliferate engines including Contagion Engine, Staff of Compleation, Karn's Bastion, and Vraska, Betrayal's Sting to rapidly escalate the counter count. Additional combat phases from Karlach, Fury of Avernus and Full Throttle double up trigger output, reliably eliminating the entire table by Turn 7.
