Welcome To Phyrexia Festival: The Dross Pits Event Guide and Decklists

With Phyrexia: All Will Be One’s release, we have five festival events to play in to celebrate! Battle your way through Singleton events with different emblems in order to claim as many ichor card styles as you can! Today, I’ll be covering the fourth event, The Dross Pits.

Event Details

Praetor Sheoldred reigns over the Dross Pits after claiming them by trickery from one of her upstart rivals. The acidic necrogen and toxic gases that flow throughout the sphere make an unforgiving setting for their ongoing war games.

• Dates: February 22, 2023 8AM PST – February 25, 2023 8AM PST
• Entry: 2,500 Gold or 500 gems
• Format: Singleton with The Dross Pits Emblem
• Structure: Play as much as you want until the event ends.

The Dross Pits Emblem

If a creature dying causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.

Event Rewards

The Dross Pits Decklists

Like the other Emblems, this one is quite powerful and definitely worth building around if possible. This isn’t as strong as the first two Emblems, but definitely stronger than the previous one!

While this emblem certainly incentivizes Sacrifice strategies, you can work well within the Emblem while circumventing the most obvious matchups with Gruul Aggro!
