Subject: Poisonous Psions T1.5
Challenged to make an inexpensive deck consisting of the indestructible poison counters if you forget about Leehes, here it is.
 
Poisonous Psions
http://www.anycraze.com/deck_viewer.asp?id=78885
 
Lands Creatures Non-Creatures Side-Board
12 Forests
12 Islands
4 Marsh Viper
4 Sabertooth Cobra
4 Aphetto Alchemist
4 Aven Envoy
4 Fog
4 Instill Energy
2 Nature's Chosen
4 Psionic Gift
2 Long-Term Plans
4 Hermetic Study
None

"Whenever Marsh Viper deals damages to an opponent, that player gets two poison counters. (If a player has ten or more poison counters, he or she loses the game.)"

"Whenever Sabertooth Cobra deals damage to a player, he or she gets a poison counter. That player gets another poison counter at the beginning of his or her next upkeep unless he or she pays 2 before that turn to prevent this effect. (A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game.)"

This T1.5 Deck glorifies the loopholes in the Marsh Viper and Sabretooth Cobra text: damage, not combat damage. Untap with the alchemist, block with fogs and the envoy (0/2 flying for B.)  Instill Energy works beautifully.  Long-Term Plans comes in handy, natures chosen is great on the envoys.

The only problem that I have is the current enviroment.  The artifact heavy and etc. enviroment is hostile towards such decks.  If you have suggestions that will keep the price under $30, please include them in a response or in an e-mail to me.
