The "Battle Cries" deck hits fast and hard, swarming your opponents with an army of ragtag Mirran rebels. It's all about strength in numbers. Cards like Master's Call or White Sun's Zenith bring forth armies with a single spell. From there, summon up some Kuldotha Ringleaders, Accorder Paladins, or any other creature with the battle cry ability, and even the lowliest of your creatures will pack a heavy punch. Or call upon Victory's Herald and watch as your armies swarm over your opponents' minions from the skies.

Things die when Phyrexians are involved. They die a lot. Th e "Doom Inevitable" deck embodies the Phyrexian hunger to consume all life. Cards like Contagion Clasp and Trigon of Corruption spread -1/-1 counters across your opponent's team, and the proliferate mechanic quickly makes those counters lethal.

Some Magic decks win the game with powerful creatures. Others, like the "Mirromancy" deck, win with powerful spells. Burn spells like Lava Axe and Red Sun's Zenith take fiery bites out of your opponent's life total, while cards like Quicksilver Geyser and Sleep give you the time you need to win.

The Phyrexian infection has spread to encompass all the colors of Magic. Like any aggressive green-white deck, the "Path of Blight" deck deploys cheap creatures to the table and then uses combat tricks to ensure that your cards trump theirs. The difference is that since all your creatures have infect, they need to deal only 10 damage to your opponent to ensure your victory! If you can't get the last few poison counters using your creatures, Decimator Web can seal your victory once and for all.
