Magic: The Gathering’s Mirrodin Besieged Path of Blight Intro Pack is a deck designed to introduce players to infectious Phyrexian tactics.

Unlike Scars of Mirrodin’s Phyrexian Poison, this version of the infect strategy includes plenty of the spillover to white Phyrexian cards featured in Mirrodin Besieged and a plethora of combat tricks to make sure your creatures punch through the poison.

Doom is definitely Inevitable in Magic: The Gathering’s Mirrodin Besieged Doom Inevitable Intro Pack, a Phyrexian ensemble that eschews any sort of infectious road to victory. A blue/black approach to Phyrexian philosophy powered by a foil Psychosis Crawler and a Bonehoard in the rares slots, Doom Inevitable combines Phyrexian sacrifice with the new living weapon equipment mechanic.
