Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov midrange strategy centered on Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos. It uses Phyrexian creature spells to generate Incubator tokens and triggers proliferate whenever friendly Phyrexians die. Early turns focus on establishing mana rocks and deploying utility Phyrexians. Once Brimaz enters the battlefield, every creature cast creates an artifact Incubator with +1/+1 counters equal to its mana value. The deck converts these tokens into active creatures using mana or dedicated transformation abilities, then enhances them with anthem effects like Sculpted Perfection and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. Proliferate triggers grow your Incubators while accelerating life loss through Scheming Aspirant and poison counters from toxic creatures. While the deck possesses resilient recursion and flexible removal, its reliance on committed permanent boards makes it susceptible to mass exile effects.
