Deck # 9: Kylie's Herbal Remedy Kit (EDH / Commander) [Revisão 49]

Dr. Kylie Moriarty and her deity, Pharika, did not quite succeed at defeating the Phyrenxians using a modified form of infect against the Phyrexians. But they now fully understand the infection and how to deal with it. Essence of clones of Melira is helpful, but it's not a cure. Pharika's old leeches, modified and stripped of darkness, prove an effective treatment.

Cards that remove all counters work against -1/-1 counters. And the secret therapeutic weapons are Quillspike, which can convert infect into power for itself, and Hapatra's Mark and the Hex Parasite as backup remedies. Now, Quillspike, with its strange mana cost, forced me to make two deck compromises in order to balance the deck. The normally useless Nature's Chant, and the strange but interesting Cauldron Haze suffice to keep the three colors equalized.

This deck also draws in a lesser form on the old idea of lifegain and resurrection. And on the concept that if one is going to master at bringing creatures back, it's best to select creatures that do things upon arrival. To regulate the dead, they produce a clone of Athreos. He becomes the master of bringing back the dead, aided by a clone of Liesa, Forgotten Archangel.
Now that the two of them have the power, Kylie and Pharika perform a ritual, Entreat the Dead, that will protect England, but they will need to gain more power to repeat the ritual for Theros.

Kylie and Pharika once again turn to Felidar Sovereign and his wife Healer of the Pride to lead the way, knowing Phyrexian powers will have no permanent effects on them now. The Helix Pinnacle still awaits. If properly charged, it will provide enough power to revoke all infection everywhere.

The deck was working fair, but it seemed to lack the power to actually solve anything except infect counters. Into the breach steps Kozilek, having reformed himself. He is initially a threat to Kylie and Pharika, but the two are masters of medicine. They medicate him, which gives him sanity. Instead of Kozilek the Great Distortion, he becomes Kozilek, the great Correction, starting with himself so he will no longer need their medication.

He brings them a small number of Eldrazi, under his control and now sworn to defend England rather than distort it.

A clone of Shalai is also made, to provide hexproof to England itself (meaning me) and +1/+1 counters to offset should any infect counters temporarily happen to hit any of the army. Slippery Bogbonder and my only copy of Helm of the Host are also present, to provide protection for Shalai.
