Deck overview

This Mardu deck blends the mutate mechanic with aggressive Phyrexian infect and toxic creatures. Its main strategy involves resolving a low-cost, non-Human infect creature during early turns, then mutating Snapdax, Apex of the Hunt over it on Turn 4. This creates a lethal 3/5 double striking infect threat that immediately removes a blocker with its mutate trigger and deals 6 poison counters in a single swing. Efficient Mardu removal spells clear paths for attackers, while cards like Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar and Chandra's Ignition convert single-target combat into table-wide poison lethality. Without tutors, the deck relies on high threat density and raw draw spells to maintain pressure, closing out games by Turn 7.
