I didnt even mentioned toxic or infect. I just say that with an enough critical amount of "each opponent gets a poison counter" and proliferate effects inside a dedicated poison deck (like old Atraxa) , you can kill your opponents by even skipping combat step entirely and being stopped only by counterspells.
Yeah if you throw 10 mediocre spells you are gonna win. That's gonna break EDH for sure
Basically every card you mentioned is not from this set. You can already play a "opponent gets a poison counter" spell followed by tons of proliferate. No one is doing that. Because it's so suboptimal that it will never win. You can't hope to poison ping an opponent (a thing that requires a dedicated synergy or to play suboptimal) and then proliferate 9 times (again with dedicated cards that will not advance your boardstate or slow your opponents) all while the whole table will try to stop you. Unless you are playing against craw wurm decks
They played so safe with toxic that is impossible to complain... the EDH sky is falling for limited cards. LOL
Blighsteel colossus is a more compelling reason to increase the poison count in EDH than this whole set combined. If they haven't done that, they won't do that for virulent sliver's weaker cousins.
WTF are you saying guys. Toxic+proliferate is extremely weaker than infect.
Infect gets incredibly strong even after a single giant growth. triumph of the hordes is game ending, because it's basically an overrun that quadruples your creatures' power. blightsteel colossus one-shot players. Giving infect to card like Nekusar win you the game if it isn't removed.
Toxic is balance around 20 life and doesn't scale basically. Winning with toxic will requires you to play a bunch of weak tokens in the hope they survive, play some incredibly ineffective french vanillas like paladin of predation or resorting to proliferate. Proliferating 9 times is way slower than, idk, playing approach of the second sun?
This set will have no impact on poison in commander because infect is already busted
Consequences smonsequences
They have one job here, to wipe out phyrexia and they failed.
Wiping out half the known multiverse is not in the mission, and honestly is a stupid solution. "We saved several planes from destruction by the Phyrexians... by destroying them ourselves!"
If Phyrexia was a real threat and not something that will inevitable crumble in a dumb way when the plot requires it, it woulb be a perfectly fine solution
Honestly i don't even get these "corrupted values engine". I can see like 4-5 being commander playable, the rest is limited fodder

Disregarding concrete toxic/corrupted sinergies for imaginary golem sinergies? Meh
I have a Naya group hug deck that usually wins with flameblast dragon, hellkite charger, hydra broodmaster or genesis wave
"I attack with 10 mites. You lose"
Eheheheh
