Just bumping the thread, hoping for a bite haha.

I was kind of thinking that Hex Parasite and Glistening Oil might go well together, as I can feed the -1/-1 counter to him to make him a 2/1 Infect, though I'm sure that's probably a waste of Mana.

Another shameless bump. Looking for deck ideas with the listed cards above. Any feedback would be great.

82 views and no one to lend a hand? :(

Another bump it is, then.

96 views and not a peep...wonderful... -.-

112 views? I'm starting to think no one is willing to help out. :(

Stop bumping your thread every few hours. It's a weekend, there's not a lot of people on and even fewer that actually post. It's not like there's so much traffic that you've even dropped from the top spot...

Phyrexian Metamorph is blue so can't be used unless you have a blue general.

A lot of these cards have absolutely nothing to do with infect or are counter intuitive to the strategy... Suture Priest? Who cares what someone's life total is if they're dead at 10 poison?

A lot of the infect creatures are too weak for EDH. You'd be better off playing naturally large creatures (green) and giving them infect or getting people poison counters and then proliferating (blue).

There's also the option of large buff effects like Hatred.

What general do you have in mind? You'd be better off making a deck list first and then asking for help to improve it rather than asking for people to help you build it from scratch.

I should have thought about that first. I wasn't going for an EDH deck, just your average 60-card setup.

That's my bad... I swear the title said EDH in it. >.>

The best infect decks for 60 card tend to have the 1-2 drop infect guys and then use pump effects to get them to kill in one or two hits.

I figured as much. I have a 60-card monoblack infect deck in my profile, but I was hoping to find some way to blend B/W, but the only cards I have are the ones I listed.

Why white? what does it do for an infect deck?

Green I can understand, :manab::manag: infect is from what I've seen the most effective way to get about it. Both colors have cheap infect dudes, green has great cards to make creatures huge (Revenge of the Hunted and Invigorate for instance) and black has the best creature removal to make sure your creatures don't get blocked.

PS: I noticed that you have replied to no other posts on this forum but your own. Are you really that surprised that no one helps you out with an attitude like that? Lets presume everyone acts like you do by only asking for help but giving none in return... see where this is going? That's the reason you don't get any replies, you and others need to contribute to this board in order to make it work.

Because it's difficult and I'd like some suggestions on how to make something like this work.

PS: I've been inactive on the forums, doing most of my talking outside of the forum. I give back on the regular mtgvault site, providing insight and suggestions for deck ideas. I'm fully aware of the need to contribute, though I cannot provide insight on topics I am neither familiar with or have any stake in, as I'm certain I would be talking about things I know nothing about.

yeah ok but there are no good white infect cards and white doesn't contribute to an aggresive infect strategy. It's a very passive color.
So aside from it being challenging what do you want to play thats white in an infect deck that makes it worth playing and that can't be done in for instance green (which overlaps white for a large part)? Infect as a mechanic is like a tribe with only a handful of creatures ever printed for that tribe, it just doesn't mix well with the rest of magic the gathering. Playing infect forces you into an overplayed stereotype.

By the way It would help if you put card tags around the cards you post. I for instance don't know these cards by heart and I have to go look them up one by one which doesn't help you get a lot of response.
It also helps if there is no dash in front of the cards, either just put the card name or the quantity space card name. That way people like me can copy your card list and dump it in a program like http://deckstats.net/ that shows us the info we need.

So I pulled up DeckStats and put the cards I listed in there for easier viewing.

I'm hoping I can find a way of making them work together. I was almost considering getting Rage Extractor and just buying a bunch of spells that use the Phyrexian Mana haha.

Just cleaned up the thread to save people the trouble of looking through whiny bumps.

that's great man, I'll try to build you something when I get the time

cheers

here's my attempt at a deck

I don't have access to some of those cards, but I doubt they'll be hard to obtain. This looks...like...REALLY good, Man. Thanks! I'll have to put them together and playtest it to see how it does.

lost leonin, priests of norn and shriek raptor are good white infect creatures
