Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive Rakdos infect and proliferate deck led by Ingris Stingerquill. The core strategy leverages Ingris's triggered ability: whenever a creature attacks, that creature deals 1 damage to each opponent. Because creatures with infect deal damage to players in the form of poison counters, attacking with an infect creature immediately places a poison counter on every opponent before blockers are declared. The deck deploys low-mana infect and toxic creatures early, casts Ingris on Turn 3, and attacks aggressively starting on Turn 4. Follow-up spells proliferate existing poison counters and remove blockers, while lord effects like Hand of the Praetors amplify table-wide pressure. A dense suite of efficient Rakdos spot removal and board wipes clears opposing threats, while combat tricks protect key attackers. The deck steadily accelerates poison counters across the entire table to eliminate all three opponents by Turn 7.
