Phyrexia: All Will Be One is about to begin at Magic: The Gathering Arena. That means it’s time to make a new deck. There will be an Early Access event on Thursday, February 2nd, 2023, where I will be attending to try out decks, draft, and see how the expansion handles.
With that in mind, I’ve been thinking and researching decks that might be fun to play in Magic: The Gathering. We’ll have to wait until the day, but some players start their journey today.
I haven’t tried these Magic: The Gathering decks yet as I don’t have server access, but they look like a lot of fun. Note that these are not necessarily tier-1 decks. We’ll have to see how the meta changes in the coming months.

Three standard decks to try with Simic Rotpriest, Gruul Aggro/Oil, and the Magic: The Gathering Arena expansion
5) Simic Rotpriest (Blue/Green Aggro)
I TRUE i love the idea of Respected Lotpriest I’d love to see what you can do with Magic: The Gathering. A 1 drop with Toxic 1, giving your opponent a poison counter whenever a creature you control is targeted by a spell. So technically you don’t even need to actually attack with this deck.
This deck is packed with some control spells and single target spells. fading hope return the creature to your hand, slip out the back Give a creature +1/+1 and phase out, Tiber’s stand Grants +X/+X, Hexproof, and Indestructible.
With this Magic: The Gathering deck, you can easily slow down your players and hit them with poison counters, or buff a creature or two for a one-turn kill. Ivy, Merry Spell ThiefYou can also continue the attack with . Bloated contaminant Proliferate and ensure damage is transmitted.

4) The Filigree Sylex + Urabrask’s Forge (red/blue combo)
filigree silex is another Magic: The Gathering card I’ve talked about many times. It’s unbelievable that it can be used with some oil counters to do 10 damage to a target. can be used to easily win the game.
so you can do it Forge of Urabrask, to generate an oil counter every your turn. It also creates aggressive Phyrexian terrors that can be sacrificed.The idea is to use large amounts of oil, certain spells, and large amounts of Multiply effect.
It also creates creature tokens through the Forge and Third Path Iconoclast. This is a strong but should be an effective aggro/combo deck.

3) Gruul Aggro/Oil (Green/Red)
Migros, Maze Crusher Another devastating card from Magic: The Gathering. This deck is all about creatures with oil counters.
You’ll want to keep them coming into play with oil counters or ramping them to creatures that acquire them for other effects.Then you can drop the pair Cinder Slash Ravagers 2 mana instead of 6 mana. They are 5/5s with vigilance and deal 1 damage to all opponents’ enemies when they come into play.
It has a nice array of creatures with decent mana costs that can do a decent amount of damage.you have Evolving Adaptability, You get +1/+1 for each oil counter you have, and this deck naturally proliferates and follows a method of generating oil counters.
feature Halana and Alena, Partnerscan be temporarily buffed to make one of the creatures very Intimidating. It is preferably Bloated contaminant, because it has trample. I’m not sure if this deck will make it to Tier 1, but I think it can be deadly if you mess around with it.
deck

- 3 Bloated contamination
- 1 Enduring Starbeast
- 3 Canker Bloom

- 1 Crucible of Rebellion, Sokenzan
- 2 Filigree Silex
- 4 Monumental facade
- 4 Roaring Thunder Beast
2) Mono Black Aggro
Archfiend of the Dross is currently one of my favorite creatures in Magic: The Gathering. Mono-Black Aggro has the potential to be a real threat right now, mainly because of its cards. A 6/6 fryer of 4? However, if you run out of oil counters (remove one by one upkeep), you lose the game, so the timer runs out.
In Magic: The Gathering, this creature tries to get your opponent to find cheap blockers while you demon blade and tenacious underdogThere are also powerful Phyrexian flesh eaters. I wonder if I should pay the prototype cost and equip it with the demon blade.
Combined with continuous damage evoke despair, Gix, and Law Officer of Yawgmoth, this deck becomes uncomfortable. Well, I hope in this Magic: The Gathering he can find the location of the Phyrexian Obliterator. That’s the next step.
deck
- 4 Demon Lord of Dross
- 4 Demon Blade
- 4 cut down
- 4 Evolved Sleeper
- 3 Yawgmoth Praetor Gix
- 3 Aim for the throat
- 2 Hell’s Grasp
- 4 Evoking Despair
- 4 Mishra’s Foundry
- 3 Phyrexian Flesheater
- 19 swamp
- 2 Takenuma, abandoned marsh
- 4 Tenacious Underdog
1) Vraska’s Sting (Black/Blue Control)
Control is my favorite way to play Magic: The Gathering, but it hasn’t made much of an impact in a while.It’s a very aggro-focused meta, or at least that’s what it looks like to me. Vraska, Needle of Treachery It seems to have the potential to overwhelm the player.
This extension runs a lot of my favorite cards – Tectal, Inquiry Dominus (Doubling Proliferate), Vender, Corpse Puppet (Reward Proliferate), Voidwing Hybrid (Proliferate, Poisonous, Early Game Poison Counters).
Then multiply like crazy and get a win condition with Vraska’s ultimate. From there, it just takes one more simple proliferate or poison counter and the game is over.
deck
- 2 Blast Zone
- 4 bring the ending
- 4 Darkslick Shores
- 4 Twisted Curiosity
- 4 Drown in Ichor
