Description

Tainted Air Toxins

 

The deck is all about that evasion and toxic love! You just need to get a posion on the oppenent and smack in. You will either slap away their life or poison them into oblivion. 

The flying Poision Brigade:

Pestilent Syphonerimage - a quick board presence to help block or get that initial poison in. 

Tainted Observerimage - is a pretty chonky bottomed flier that can poison and help proliferate it. 

Voidwing Hybridimage - is a toxic flyer for cheap that the oppentent just cant keep down! proliferate and bring it back!

The prop fliers: (corny play on Prop Planes but I cant help myself)

Thrummingbirdimage - is the J-31 Jumpstreams of creatures, small flying critter that proliferates on contact.

Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominusimage- the B-52 bomber, big payloads for all proliferation. (doubles all proliferation)

The Intercepter Squad: 

Trawler Drakeimage - The F18, small sleak but can get in and land some big hits. 

Archfiend of the Drossimage - F35 falcon, going to hit the oppent in the blindside. It is big, fast, and powerful. 

 

Early Plays, and Starts: 

Prologue to Phyresisimage - start the poison train, and get some cards. 

Experimental Auguryimage - Lets you look for what you need and proliferates while doing it. 

Prophetic Prismimage - get a card, make sure you can play your Tainted Observerimage's. also helps to smooth out for double pips

Removal and Tempo:

Serum Snareimage - Tempo the oppent while proliferating either your Oil or their Poison. 

Drown in Ichorimage - -4/-4 while proliferating to help keep you making progress while removing theirs. 

Big Bomb: 

Vraska, Betrayal's Stingimage - Just ends games with it Prolerating and Removal abilities. 

Some play strategy's: 

I prefer trying to get proliferates out of my Tainted Observers as often as possible because it is a proliferate that does not drain any extra resources. I won games because I held onto my 2 drop cards and opted to use the Tainted Observers ability instead. Then when the opponent gummed up the board on me, I used my cards to proliferate them into Toxic Oblivion. 

The Archfiend of the Drossimage is just a nasty creature. The openent always has to answer them or they usually win you the game. This deck has plenty of ways to proliferate more oil onto them. I would not hesitate to land them when you can. 

Then anytime you can keep Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominusimage in play it is awesome. He makes your proliferate cards like 2 for 1's. If you get so lucky to have both Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominusimage and Vraska, Betrayal's Stingimage in play at the same time, well it pretty much spells victory for you. 

Some Considerations: 

I am a creature player, and control is anthima to me. So you may want or need to add counter spells or other controlly cards to the mix. I can tell you I did not even think in those terms so this deck may be better if you do. 

I also pretty much would not add a creature if it did not fly. So there may be some better choice creatures, like a Bloated Contaminatorimage but it was ground base. You may want to edit for that. I just wanted this to be an Air Force only deck. 

I also do not spend any wilds on lands, I know, I know, I should but it is so hard. So there are probably way better mana bases that can be played instead of what I have listed here. So you should review the lands and make the necessary edits. 

All that aside I hope anyone downloading this has fun with it, and if you make it better please let me know and post a comment here on this deck list. I would love to get the feedback.
