Deck Description

This is my infect deck, its primarily based on winning by turn 3-5 but its also made to be fun and "not the same hand again" based so that it remains fun to play while having a strategic sideboard too easily make it Tournament minded.

I'd love comments and thoughts. Thanks.

First strategy: Aggro!
Remove high cost creatures and some +counters and add more destruction, +X/+X buffs and lowcost creatures.
Play to get the first 1-4 poison counters as quick as possible without using too many buffs and finish off by playing multiple on "secure" creatures, what I mean is basicly play them when you know youre not wasting them, pay attention to mana, cards in hand and available easy counters as lightning ball, fog and so on. Use your destruction to strategely remove creatures when you get blocked and so on.

Second Strategy: Anti-Controle!
Add all 3 livewire lash, 3 thrown of geth, keep the highcost (4+) creatures and some counters and change the signal pest with plague myr and necropede (Use the destruction you deem nessecary)
Use your destruction to boost creatures with blade of the bloodchief and protect your valuble creatures such as Hand of the Praetors with Vines of Vastwood.
Play your lowcost creatures to push fast controle and if possible get the first poison counter but dont throw them away. Use harrow to fix mana and take advantage of the 2 untapped mana you get which the deck is based on and to quicker get to Hand of the Praetors, make sure you can protect him and play your low cost creatures to poison when they enter play then sac them with the throne of geth after or before controle to get more poison while boosting counters on other of your creatures.
Get livewire attached to a creature and use your buff spells to controle and give poison counters and get that one counter on Quest for the gemblades.

Third Strategy. BitO'Both and More!
The way the deck is currently setup but also the overall funniest way to play because you can easily change a little here and there and play fun alterations with less of the same cards being drawn.
This is also the most advanced way to play because you have to read your hand a lot closer and play the strategy you've been handed while being open to change and you have to do this from only 7 cards and 2-3 of them most often being mana that makes 4-5 cards. So like the title of the strategy says you play a bit of both worlds and a lot of other fun strategies.

Extra cards I sub with:
Birds of Paradise
Corpse Cur
Stabbing Pain
Contagion Engine
Contagion Clasp
Blackcleave Goblin
