Deck overview

This mono-blue deck helmed by Sun Quan, Lord of Wu aims to win through poison counters, leveraging horsemanship to make its infect creatures unblockable. The primary plan is to deploy small infect threats, grant them horsemanship via the commander, and connect repeatedly while proliferating to accelerate the poison clock. A secondary, clunky infinite-mana combo exists with Basalt Monolith, Isochron Scepter, and Dramatic Reversal-but the deck lacks a clean outlet, requiring Viral Drake and an initial poison source like Prologue to Phyresis to convert mana into a win. The deck packs a dense interaction suite of counterspells, bounce, and stax pieces, but its consistency is hamstrung by a near-total absence of tutors, forcing it to rely on redundancy and raw draw to find its key pieces.
