Deck Description

This is another new phyrexia-enabled standard combo deck based on Melira and phyrexian unlife. I'm not sure if it works or not based on the stacking of the effects on those two cards, but if it does, Melira removes infect, phyrexian unlife gives it back to stuff, but Melira makes it so that infect stuff can't hurt you. This gives you enough time to pull out a soul conduit to swap your 0 life total with your opponent for the win, and if you don't have 0 life, repeatable phyrexian mana activations will get you there. Overgrown battlement and wall of omens provide defense while making lots of mana for the conduit and cantripping, green sun hunts up melira or a birds if you need mana acceleration, squadron hawks and journeys provide more defense, and spellskites or the souleater act as life sinks, with the skites also keeping spot removal off of your combo pieces.

It works because you cant gain poison counters and unlife cant overrule that
I would suggest ascetism for this too since you have more creatures thab i do

hmmm asceticism- good call seeing as I already have a very solid manabase- I'll through some in- maybe drop spellskites.
