Incarnate is a False God that utilizes the synergies between Death and Darkness to create an army of creatures. He was introduced prior to Patch 1.0, being implemented alongside the other 10 original False Gods.
His strategy revolves around the infection of Bloodsuckers and Retroviruii, as well as the sacrificial effects of the latter, to generate death effects, which create Skeletons through Graveyard, and also increase the amount of attacks blocked by his Bone Wall. Alongside this, he also uses Vampires and a Vampire Dagger for healing, and Eclipse as a global buff to all his creatures. Incarnate can prove to be difficult if you are too reckless with playing creatures, as he will poison everything he can and create a potent Bone Wall that can be a fatal defense if not prepared for. His offense can also be deadly, as he can amass a field full of creatures, especially with the use of Graveyard.
Despite this, Incarnate does have weakness that are easy to exploit. Although he has Darkness, he does not have any permanent control, and as such permanent heavy decks stand a good chance against him, including rainbow controls and OTKs. RoL/Hope shouldn't be too bad if you can stop retroviruses with an lobotomizer.
Oracle Counter
In fact, a popular counter to him, when given as an Oracle prediction, uses these alongside Voodoo Dolls and Fractal. While this seems mundane, it abuses the AI's trigger-happy use of Retrovirii and Bloodsuckers by allowing him to poison a handful of Dolls, which transfer to poison to him. As Voodoo Dolls are also Darkness creatures, they are affected by his Eclipse as well, which adds even more damage. You can Fractal Bloodsuckers if you are desperate for damage.
