Powerful two drops are a very important part of any limited format. Duelist of Deep Faith Duelist of Deep Faith Toxic 1 (Players dealt combat damage by this creature also get a poison counter.)
During your turn, this creature has first strike. is a really reliable early-game attacker for White. Even if you’ve built a deck that doesn’t aim to win through poison, Duelist of Deep Faith is just a card that’s really hard to block. Your opponent’s Stinging Hivemasters and Urabrask’s Anointers will need to stay out of its way. If you do care about winning through poison, then having a two-drop that gives your opponent poison counters and is really frustrating to block is fantastic.

3. Experimental Augury

In any Limited format, Blue players love to draw cards and in ONE Blue players love spreading counters. Experimental Augury Experimental Augury Look at the top three cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in any order. Proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.) does both.

Draw a card. does have a certain appeal. Although, In the event that an opponent already has a poison counter, or you have some oil counters in play that you want to proliferate Experimental Augury is the better card. If you have both of these cards in your hand at the same time, and your opponent doesn’t currently have any poison counters, remember to open with the prologue and then cast the Augury next to give them a second dose of poison.

Nothing breaks through a stalled-out late-game board like a big flying Phyrexian fisher. Quicksilver Fisher Quicksilver Fisher Flying
When this creature enters, draw a card, then discard a card. provides you with just what you need to push through that last bit of damage to close out a game. Not only is it a big evasive threat, but it also helps you dig through your deck for more threats or some removal. Just make sure you’ve got a land to discard as it comes into play. It’s never fun drawing and then immediately getting rid of a card,

3. Gulping Scraptrap

First things first, this card’s name is absolutely fantastic. The phrase Gulping Scraptrap Gulping Scraptrap When this creature enters or dies, proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.) is just incredibly fun to say. You would never imagine it was the name for an eternally hungering Phyrexian monstrosity. This adorably named abomination offers you two proliferate triggers, one as it enters play and one as it dies. Whether you’re using this effect to churn out oil counters or poison counters, it’s definitely useful when attached to a 4/4 body.

2. Blightbelly Rat

Blightbelly Rat Blightbelly Rat Toxic 1 (Players dealt combat damage by this creature also get a poison counter.)
When this creature dies, proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.) is a good two-drop and a great include in Poison decks. The risk with any deck that features proliferate cards is that you’ll end up with too many cards focused on proliferating and not enough that actually produce the counters you need to spread around. What makes Blightbelly Rat Blightbelly Rat Toxic 1 (Players dealt combat damage by this creature also get a poison counter.)

If this little rodent manages to get an attack through then toxic 1 will ensure you have some poison counters to proliferate when it dies.

1. Anoint with Affliction

Exile effects are always valuable, especially in a set like Phyrexia: All Will Be One which features a cycle of mythic rare bombs that are incredibly difficult to kill otherwise. Although you need to be in a deck that cares about poison counters to get the most out of Anoint with Affliction Anoint with Affliction Exile target creature if it has mana value 3 or less.
Corrupted — Exile that creature instead if its controller has three or more poison counters. chances are that if you’re playing Black then your deck will have plenty of poison to go around. Even if you don’t, you could do a lot worse than a two-mana spell which unconditionally removes your opponent’s Glissa Sunslayer Glissa Sunslayer First strike, deathtouch
Whenever Glissa Sunslayer deals combat damage to a player, choose one —
• You draw a card and lose 1 life.
• Destroy target enchantment.

In Limited, Red burn spells are always terrific. Whether it’s the early game and you want to destroy some of their initial threats, or the late game and you want to blast through that last bit of damage to get them down to 0. Having this stapled to a proliferate effect is very useful. Don’t underestimate Volt Charge Volt Charge Volt Charge deals 3 damage to any target. Proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.) despite its, relatively, steep cost. You’re still absolutely getting value for mana here.

2. Bladegraft Aspirant

Many of the cards in this article are universally powerful. They work across archetypes, and so will be strong in a wide variety of decks. Bladegraft Aspirant Bladegraft Aspirant Menace
Equipment spells you cast cost {1} less to cast.
Activated abilities of Equipment you control that target this creature cost {1} less to activate. is a bit more niche but is so powerful in its niche that it’s worth discussing all the same.

If you’re using Bladegraft Aspirant Bladegraft Aspirant Menace
Equipment spells you cast cost {1} less to cast.
Activated abilities of Equipment you control that target this creature cost {1} less to activate. you really want to be in a Red/White “For Mirrodin!” Equipment-based deck. The aspirant makes all of your equipment one mana cheaper, letting you rush out your Rebels and their Barbed Batterfists. If all of those Rebels end up meeting with a terrible fate and getting horribly slaughtered by Phyrexians, Bladegraft Aspirant Bladegraft Aspirant Menace
Equipment spells you cast cost {1} less to cast.
Activated abilities of Equipment you control that target this creature cost {1} less to activate. can take up their weapons at a one mana discount. All of this on top of having a relevant keyword ability and a decent, if not amazing, stat line. If you’re putting together an equipment deck in this format, you really want a few Bladegraft Aspirants in there.

1. Hexgold Slash

Removal that counters one of the format’s scariest-looking strategies is definitely a big plus. Hexgold Slash Hexgold Slash Hexgold Slash deals 2 damage to target creature. If that creature has toxic, Hexgold Slash deals 4 damage to that creature instead. deals two damage to any target for only a single Red mana or four damage to a toxic creature. Every Red deck will want to lock down a Hexgold Slash or two to keep themselves safe from the Tyrranax Atrocities and Nimraiser Paladins prowling around.
