Deck overview

This is an Atraxa, Praetors' Voice poison deck built on a two-part thesis: put poison counters on all three opponents as early as possible, then proliferate faster than the table can answer. The early game leans on cheap table-wide poison injectors like Prologue to Phyresis, Ichor Rats, Infectious Inquiry, and Phyresis Outbreak, supported by evasive infect/toxic beaters such as Blighted Agent, Plague Stinger, and Skrelv, Defector Mite. Once Atraxa resolves, her end-step proliferate turns every turn cycle into pressure, and a deep backup package of proliferate outlets - Flux Channeler, Evolution Sage, Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus, Throne of Geth - keeps the deck running even if she is answered. The attack-tax trio of Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, and Windborn Muse buys the time the incremental poison clock needs. There are no infinite combos; the deck wins through accumulation and inevitability.
