A deck focused on an infect strategy would benefit from including Hand of the Praetors, as it provides a significant boost to other creatures with infect and helps to spread poison counters to the opponent. While there may be more powerful infect creatures available in Magic: the Gathering, such as Blightsteel Colossus or Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, Hand of the Praetors can still be a valuable addition to a deck aiming to win through poison counters. Its ability to pump other infect creatures and increase the pressure on the opponent makes it a viable choice for decks looking to utilize the infect mechanic effectively.
