Corrupting Influence

Commander precon · Phyrexia: All Will Be One Commander · 2023 · led by Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa

Upgrades at bracket 1–2

No Game Changers and no infinite combos: the level of an unchanged precon. Game Changers are cards on WotC's official list of cards that make a deck much stronger.

Its cards work together a little more: synergy 2.4 → 2.7 of 5, still developing. It is a little more consistent: Build 4.4 → 4.6 of 5, still on target; still 4 short on interaction, 1 short on card advantage, was 3. That is what this page measures: how well the deck holds together, not how strong it is.
