How it grades
Fundamentals 93/100. Plays like Poison / infect and +1/+1 counters.
This reads as Poison / infect · +1/+1 counters, built around Atraxa, Praetors' Voice. The clock is ten poison counters, not twenty-one damage, so a single evasive infect or toxic creature, pumped and protected, ends a player in two connections. Threat count stays low on purpose: the deck spends its slots on protection, pump, evasion and proliferate instead, and every removal spell aimed at your one live creature is the game. Redundancy of threats and resilience against a single removal spell matter more than raw card advantage. Its strongest fundamental is mana curve (45% of spells cost ≤2, 6% cost 6+); the first thing to tighten is land count: 35 lands. About 38 fits this curve for Poison / infect.

Where it falls short
- B+Mana reliability88% of your spells arrive on time. Ichor Rats is the riskiest: its B cost is heavy for this mana base, so expect it several turns late.
- B+Land count35 lands. About 38 fits this curve for Poison / infect.
