Deck Description

Now that Phyrexian Processor has new art and the slick new card face, I'm going to officially bring a classic combo to the new generation. Way back during Urza's Saga (when the Phyrexians were up to no good (down to bad?)) there was a great duo that eventually churned out massive amounts of life and huge creatures. The matching card was Angelic Chorus. Pay ghastly amounts of life to the initial Processor, gain it all back with the first Minion token, and then proceed to absurdity.

I just think its pleasing to play this combo nowadays, with both pieces sporting new art and the new card face. Plus, it's a blast from Magic's past! What's wacky about the combo is that after you spin it for a bit, you'll have a ton of life, at which point subsequent Phyrexian Processors can safely churn out 40/40 Minions. Just for kicks.

Recently, we've gotten another white five-drop enchantment that combos perfectly with Phyrexian Processor: Near-Death Experience. Process all of your life but one measly point and win the game on your upkeep!

Diverting back to Angelic Chorus, I'd love to have other creatures with high toughness in the deck. Preferably cheap ones. And it's Phyrexia Week. All these signs point to Phyrexian Soulgorger, which warps the deck hilariously. This 8/8 for three needs lots of souls to gorge, and Spectral Procession literally provides them! (Wow, two Processes in one deck. I love the universe. And yep, that's two columns in a row with cumulative upkeep, after a ton without. Infinity is awesome.)

You can stall with defenders early. I went with this strategy because Angelic Chorus likes the toughness, they're creatures to feed to the Soulgorger, and because stalling is probably necessary. Wall of Omens is a great colorshift of the classic Wall of Blossoms, Perimeter Captain ties into the life-gaining theme, and Roc Egg makes backup tokens for the Soulgorger.

Some fun singletons in the deck include Fountain Watch (which protects your key artifacts and enchantments), Angel's Grace (which saves you from a Lightning Bolt during that brief window where you have a low life total, and is nice with Near-Death Experience), Cradle of Vitality (why not?), and O-Naginata (which bestows trample to your huge creatures!).
