02 -- TODO -- Poison Creatureless by saryon-dav

Format: Commander

Commander: Esika, God of the Tree // The Prismatic Bridge

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Esika is a five-color proliferate/poison control deck. The front face acts as a commander-based mana dork; the Prismatic Bridge is incidental value for a small planeswalker package, not the engine. The primary plan is to put early poison counters on all opponents with Prologue to Phyresis, Phyresis Outbreak, and Infectious Inquiry, then leverage Inexorable Tide, Contagion Engine, cantrip proliferate spells, and a final Expansion Algorithm to jump everyone to ten poison. A heavy fog/pillowfort/removal suite buys the necessary turns. Darksteel Reactor and Chandra ultimates are backup win conditions. The deck is slow, tutorless, and commander-independent, but packs enough interactive density to survive into its win window.
