Legendary Creature - Praetor Phyrexian Skrelv's Hive At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life and create a 1/1 colorless Phyrexian Mite artifact creature token with toxic 1 and "This token can't block." Corrupted As long as an opponent has three or more poison counters, creatures you control with toxic have lifelink
When it came out, though, it did so to a very lukewarm response
With ramp staples like Sol Ring, Cultivate, and Sultai Banner, youll have the mana you need to keep up the pressure and cast those expensive creatures early
The deck also benefited from purple ramp tools and red pressure tools, giving it the ability to cheat tempo in a way that often felt unfair once the card pool caught up to what the leader wanted to do
Jill and Joshua both help out in this regard, with Jill acting as a way to slow down your opponent's onslaught, and Joshua helping you curate your hand by discarding dead cards in a given matchup to find cards that better suit your needs
It featured heavily in Jake Beardley's Pro Tour Lord of the Rings championship deck, and the lines of play in that setting are amplified in Commander.
