Deck overview

This deck combines a mono-blue tempo-control shell with an infect and proliferate win condition. It accelerates early using fast artifact mana to establish poison counters through cheap, evasive creatures like Blighted Agent and Inkmoth Nexus or non-combat spells like Prologue to Phyresis. Once opponents are poisoned, the deck transitions into rapid multi-target proliferation using engines like Flux Channeler, Dreamtide Whale, and Expansion Algorithm. Sun Quan, Lord of Wu sits in the command zone as a late-game finisher, granting unblockable horsemanship to any grounded infect or toxic creatures to bypass crowded boards. Backed by free countermagic, flexible bounce removal, and powerful card advantage engines like The One Ring and Rhystic Study, the deck defends its board and disrupts opposing combos while ticking all three opponents up to 10 poison counters simultaneously.
