Deck Description

"Where nature impedes, Phyrexians overcome"

How to Play

The main strategie is to drop a creature early and start bashing all players with a single hit. From there go for the defense open players and go with flyiers to those who don't have them. Then proliferate a lot.
Special favorites of mine:
Geth's Trone - Sacrifincing all those equipments seems legit!
Howl from beyond - They don't expect it!
Tainted Strike - "Thank you for killing my oponent for me"

Deck discussion for Skithiryx - Infect - Commander

Prismatic Lens wins up being just a 2 cmc mana rock that gets you 1 since you're playing mono-black. Maybe replace it with Worn Powerstone at the same cms? I'd think the comes-into-play-tapped effect would be more than offset long-term by getting 2 per tap. Coalition Relic might be worth considering too as proliferate effects could throw an extra counter onto it every other turn.

I think you could replace some of your equipment with stuff that makes your guys unblockable. Bonesplitter and Viridian Claw are super cheap and nice to sacc to Throne of Geth but Prowler's Helm is also fairly cheap and it'll let you get through untouched more often than not.

Suq'Ata Assassin drops poison counters and has built-in evasion.

Spread the Sickness would be nice. Yeah, three more mana than Doom Blade, but you can hit black creatures, and the proliferate tag is really helpful.

I like Do or Die over Devour Flesh. Why make someone saccrifice a creature when you can make them destroy half their creatures for the same mana cost?

Maybe consider one of the old school land batteries like Subterranean Hangar. I'm running a few more proliferate effects than you (deck is black/blue not mono) but I've had one counter on it turn into four pretty quickly just from proliferate.

Nice use of Dauthi Embrace. I run it in my infect deck and never see anyone else use it.
