First strike, protection from red and from white
Infect (This creature deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)
Mox strategy
Phyrexian Crusader excels as an aggressive, resilient infect threat with first strike, making it efficient in dealing poison counters quickly. Its protection from red and white grants strong resilience against removal and combat from those colors. Best used in infect and poison counter decks to pressure opponents effectively. Synergizes well with pump spells (e.g., Giant Growth) to maximize poison damage and with cards that support infect strategies like Blighted Agent or Inkmoth Nexus. Key mechanics enabled include infect damage and efficient combat interaction through first strike and protection, making it a core aggressive piece in infect-focused decks.
