My favorite type o' budget deck. I bet this thing routinely beats decks that cost 10x as much in 4 turns. One suggestion: Swap out one of the instants for some Simic Charms. Great multi-tool card for a deck like this, keeps the option to pump up your creatures, but also does some SUPER useful stuff if you need it to.

Use Invigorate as a pump spell. Their lifegain does not matter.
that is only legal in Legacy.
What are your thoughts on dropping the mamba for piston sledges?
this deck is already low on creatures so no
really nice budget deck. might go make this one. what about putting Aqueous Form. take a look at my unlinkable deck.
Aqueous Form is a great idea. i'll drop the 4 Artful Dodge for it
Wild Defiance I can only see slowing you down. I would use some card draw instead myself.
Wild Defiance is being played by one of the best aggro deck builders around in his Modern Infect list. You think maybe theres a reason?
nope, i think the pros have no idea what their doing. None of them have the vast understanding of magic I have at my disposal. For I am an omnipotent God, and i have seen the future of infect decks everywhere.
I can tell by the massive amount of bad advice you give that you actually believe that.
Well I'm not at the level of Necromaster but I do agree that wild defiance does slow the deck down. If you are going for a more turn 4-5 win then keep it but infect wants to win fast with a turn 2-3 otk. I don't run it because of it.
and what happens when they do something to screw up your turn 2-3 win? you need to have something to help stabilize. this list is all set up, no protection. a good player wont put out more than one or two infect dudes to avoid getting blown out by a boardwipe, but electrolyze, lightning bolt, echoing truth/courage are all blowouts against infect. Wild Defiance stops your dudes from getting burned by pumping them without a spell leaving your hand, and double pumping them when a spell does come from you. Wild defiance is not NEEDED, but it gives the deck some form of protection, and a great deal of later game
Yes i know, I said there was two ways of building it cx lol
Ninjastyle the way you approached his joke about being omnipotent was pretty damn rude, he was obviously just trying to lighten the mood on this site XDI would recomend some artful dodges which can be flashbacked whenever you need it on any creature because youre not only gonna get an unblockable and artful dodge will give you a 12/60 chance of an unblockable infect creature (:

lol calm down, hero.
just tryna make it friendly <3 <3 <3 ^-^
What about Autumn's Veil? It's nice if you use ita on wincon turn, and if they counter it, they need to have so many counter to block the vincon, and usually in modern (there's not great cards like daze or force of will) is pretty unusual (at least it's not a counter-control decl)
Autumn's veil is only good against blue & black decks though . . . anyway glad someone can take a joke.
lol I gotchou home boi ;D
Well a splash of white for Greater Auramancy would be fantastic, otherway the only way to protect all creatures is Plaxmanta but's having the effect for only a turn it's a bit difficult to manage.At this point is better something like Clout of the Dominus, good cause only one mana and give +1/+1 to Blighyed Agent, or Aspect of Mongoose that's even better cause you could take it back to your hand (something that exile an enchantment it's not very common).With also unblocable there's Protective Bubble, but 4 mana it's too much :I
seems like someone else knows what I'm talking about. I think What we really need is a gelectrode, as well as a triumph of the hordes. In order to give gelectrode infect. Infect pingers are crazy good fast.
The only bad thing is that without black (Tainted Strike or Phyresis) it's difficult to give someone infect.Grafted Exoskeleton it's a good way cause it's an artifact but it's also a bit heavy.I personally hate that's no creature with soulbound that could give infect to another creature.A bit intricated it's to use Corrupted Conscience on your own creature, but son't forget that this card it's also amazing to take away some nice creatures from the oppo.
We could even put in some red and play fallen ferromancer, though that's some weak sauce compared to gelectrode with infect.
I'd suggest:-1 wild defiance, -1artful dodge, -1-2 land, +2 simic charm, +4 invigorate, -2titanicYou have my like :]]
invigorate is only legal in one format. o if this is legacy or casual, sure its great...if you intend to run it anywhere with tournaments, its not legal for anything but legacy
I mean he didn't specify if this deck was a specific format so I would honestly add it in :)
Im not saying dont add it. Im saying be aware of the cards status if the intended use is to play modern with it.
Yes we know :) lol
Definitely give some thought to thinning your land a bit though. Maybe swap some of the islands for breeding pools. Additionally I agree with the subtraction of a single (or maybe two) Wild Defiance for another one cost buff spell. Just my two cents.
Replace aqueous form with distortion strike. costs the same and gives your guy a +1/+0 pump instead of the scry. Enchanting the creature ins't that crucial if you are trying to close the game out by turn 4 or 5
It really depends on when you want to end the game. On how you want to play. With in fect aggro wou are looking to end the game turn 3 usually, turn 2 if you get all the mutagenic growth you need.
than distortion strike is definitely the better choice because it gives you the pump and you can target a different creature the next turn if needed. Scrying 1 isnt that much of a plus in this case. The 2 extra poison damage over the two turns is 20% of the winning damage
Have you thought in change for Titanic Growth you can add Invigorate? It's 10x better! :)
No invigorate. I want to keep this deck as legal as possible. Thx ninjastyle612. I ordered simic charm when it arrives i'll change the deck a bit. Thx for the rest of you guys... but I need more help with my other deck's so if you have the time take a look
Which format though? Modern?
yeah modern is good
Gotcha gotcha :)
Simic Charm what a great idea.
Why not giant growth just wonder since it is modern legal
Not sure if this is a budget deck, because there a lots of better cards to work with than . . . *shudder* . . . Titanic Growth.
DEAR GOD THIS DECK IS A MODERN PIECE OF ART!!
I suggest taking out 2 Titanic growths or 2 wild defiances to make this deck a compact 60 cards.And I suggest running these lands:7 Islands15 forestsTechnically this deck only needs 3 islands and 10 forests.
i also have an infect deck that runs very well, check this out: http://www.mtgvault.com/educn07/decks/budget--infect-fast-kill/
What about unstable mutation? and I wanted to know if you have transcendence and rain of gore out can I not lose the game from life loss or gain or do I autamatically lose? Just wanted to know. :)
Take a look at might of old krosa in place of titanic growth
love the deck idea
I personally like the deck but I have a friend who made an infect deck sorta similar but hes wins slowest turn three fastest turn 2I wish I remembered some of the cards but I don't haha. either way cheap deck and really good!
No invigorate?
.......... :-/
No modern legal sadly
Might as well add invisible stalker and phyresis
Phyresis is black
Why add invisible stalker combo'd with phyresis? Why not just keep it as Blighted agent besides having to use a pointless combo xD
At least inkmoth
I personally use some artifact in my deck like 'Inquisitor's Flail', I don't fear the side effect on a creature unblocable, also -2 ironclaw myr and +2 tummingbird could be helpfull, cause tummingbird help a LOT he normally could do 2 infect token alone!Check my deck if you want http://www.mtgvault.com/hextar13/decks/unblockable-infection/
thrummingbird doesnt do 2 infect alone unless you have a way to give it infect. proliferate only gives one additional counter
Yeah already checked just now about tumming bird xD btw the Inquisitor flail is still nice, expecially to wincon, on the agent, using 2 mutagenic growth
Based on how this deck is normally played in most Modern Tournaments, it's a bit too slow. If you've not won by round 3/4 you will most likely loose.Add Main Deck:4* Might of Old Krosa4* Rancor2*Simic Charm4* Noble Hierarch4* Plague Stinger4* Inkmoth Nexus2* PendelhavenRemove Main Deck4* Blight Mamba (too slow)4* Ichor Claw (too slow)4*Aqueous Form (too slow)4* Titanic Growth (too slow)4* Wild Defiance (too slow)Build your manabase to support this set up4* Misty Rainforest4* Verdant Catacomb3* Overgrown Tomb3* Breeding Pool
or he could, you know, not get his ideas from the internet and build the deck the way he wants to...
and it looks very expensive
His initial deck build is very similar to a regular Modern Infect Deck, which you can find a varieties off all across the internet. I'm assuming that he wants ideas to the deck, since he's posting the deck publicly here.Not all the cards are expensive. Might of Old Krosa, Simica Charm, Pendelhaven and Rancor are affordable cards. But even if you're not interested in spending a dollar for a card, it's always beneficial to know what to put on a wishing list :)
Why not Phytoburst instead of Titanic growth?
I'll put it on my list
Like your deck! Great job. I just have a few concerns...... 1) Lands, you have too many islands for what you're using. I suggest either add more blue buff/unblockable e.g. Distortion Strike or scrap some of your islands. Also you need dual lands, this can include Guildgates (For a budget option, for all you Guildgate haters) until you work up to shocklands and sac lands 2) Titanic Growth... Really? Good card: yes, usually. Infect: not so much...... Try Giant Growth, 1 drop +3/+3 until end of turn 3) Enchantments. Too many for a fast infect, which I can see it is. I'd personally reduce your enchantments as they are, maybe scrap 2 Wild Defiance and 1 Aqueous Form..... Add some more buff like Might of Old Krosa or even the humble Rancor Your deck looks pretty compleat as it is
Maybe instead of the aqueous form run 4 artful dodge I know if he put aqueous for on something it would make it a instant burn target for me
Also, look at Apostle's Blessing. Great protection!
Well I think that this card it's awesome in INFECT!!!Livewire Lash, someone want to exile/bounce a crature with infect out of your battlefield? Well that's ok but first take 2 infect damage directly!!
So finally the new cards arrived and made some changes:Dropped: Titanic Growth, Vines of Vastwood, Aqueous Form and 2 IslandChanged: Might of Old Krosa, Artful Dodge and Simic CharmThx for all your help
Vines of Vastwood is strictly better than Simic Charm....
Yeah was hesitating about that one. i'll put the charm in my sideboard may come in handy and put the vines back in
If you are not going budget, Put in berserk! It's the best all you have to do is go turn 1 glisterner elf, then 2 play might of old krosa then berserk! If they do not have removal or a creature out they lose turn 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
there are plenty of ways to get a turn 2 kill out of this deck, using the "no creature, no removal" scenario without making it legacy only by adding berserk
My deck has had plenty of turn 2 kills WITH removal in their deck and no creatures
Is it modern though? And I meant that was problably the easiest. :)
Yes it is. And every one hates my deck It's too good for them
then "everyone" should run more pyroclasm...infect is pretty easy to overcome unless they draw nutty on you
In all fairness, these people I play against are the ultimate budget players. High school kids who can't afford any decent cards, thus the ultimate budget And they can't build a decent deck unless they proxy
