Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive Abzan infect and toxic strategy commanded by Vishgraz, the Doomhive. The primary game plan accelerates early using mana dorks and rocks, then deploys efficient poison carriers like Bilious Skulldweller, Bloated Contaminator, and Plague Stinger to deliver poison counters across the table. Resolving Vishgraz on Turn 4 establishes immediate board presence with three Phyrexian Mite tokens and a growing commander. The deck transitions into a rapid kill window on Turn 5 by leveraging combat finishers such as Triumph of the Hordes and Akroma's Will, or by using proliferate engines like Evolution Sage, Contaminant Grafter, and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician to advance opponents to 10 poison counters. Defensive spells like Teferi's Protection and Flawless Maneuver safeguard the swarm against sweepers. The deck delivers high synergy and rapid lethality, closing games around Turn 7.
