Deck description
Growing Threat is an Orzhov (white-black) Commander precon led by Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos, turning each Phyrexian or artifact creature cast into Incubator tokens that later hatch into real bodies. The board develops in layers: cheap creatures and mana rocks accelerate into larger artifact threats like Myr Battlesphere and Phyrexian Triniform, while proliferate from Brimaz and tools like Karn’s Bastion grow Incubators and +1/+1 counters to keep pressure rising. Games tend to end with a wide, upgraded army backed by life swing and attrition, or by leveraging big artifact creatures and reanimation to stay ahead after a wipe. Interaction is steady and practical, with removal such as Swords to Plowshares, Despark, Mortify, and Utter End, plus reset buttons like Phyrexian Rebirth and Cataclysmic Gearhulk that can leave you best positioned to rebuild. Players who enjoy incremental value, creature combat, and resilient midrange lines will find plenty to tune, especially by adding more proliferate, Phyrexian density, or artifact synergies.
