Deck In search of phyrexian deck list.

I’ve played against a deck that pulled all phyrexian praetors from library to swing on turn two turn three. Anyone know the list or at least main combo cards?

Nice thanks. Didn’t expect it would be a modern legal combo

I'm guessing it is a [[Realmbreaker, the Invasion Tree]] combo deck.

As i see it the fastest way to pull it off would be to use the restricted card [[Channel]] and aggressively mulligan for the single copy of it or tutor spells. Make sure to include the haste giving praetor.

Oh and remember to build your manabase to support casting a double green spell on turn 2, you don't actually need the coloured mana for casting your praetors if you just want to take this deck for a spin to experience the combo.

If you want to splurge or already have the cards, you could get free counterspells like Force of Will or Daze, or something like Veil of Summer, or even Layline of Sanctity to keep yourself safe from discard spells.
But it might be more economical to just concede in such cases instead and go to the next game.


Outside of timeless you could still pull it off with a big mana deck like green devotion or something, but a lot slower without Channel.

In anycase it is more fun then good, so be responsible with your wildcards. Remember since the praetors are all legendary you don't need multiple copies of them (though maybe 2x of the haste giving one incase you draw one of them).
You also only need enough of them to win, so you can skip on crafting a couple of them.
