I love Phyrexia; the flavor, the art, the story, but I felt as though the actual invasion was... underwhelming. So I decided to make an Archenemy showcase of the set and include the individual battles in each Teams deck, because honestly where else are you going to see them? They are kind of a terrible sub-type and have very little support. Maybe we will see more in Ikoria vs. Kamigawa. I digress, the contents of this package are free to use, please playtest this with your playgroup and let me know how it goes.

When a scheme resolves or is abandoned it is placed at the bottom of the scheme deck. Each Scheme card I have is tailored to be flavorful with the Phyrexian invasion. I also included a large suite of ramp schemes as this 4-color deck can be fairly mana intensive. This deck includes all of the archetypes of the All Will Be One block which entails: Incubate, Corrupted, Proliferate, Toxic, Infect, and Compleated. It also includes all of the Praetors as well as both Atraxa and while they don't synergize very well with eachother (which is totally on flavor btw) their effects are powerful enough on their own. Despite having infect and proliferate in the deck, the intent was to actually be able to use the corrupted ability to our benefit.
