Deck Description

I have been building infect for a long time, and have finally settled on this sort of take on it. I tried to make it more of an aggro-control style and less combo-y.

This deck, of course, tries to win the game using the infect mechanic. This essentially doubles the power of your creatures and simultaneously negates their life gain. This strategy's biggest weakness is that it is entirely creature based, so things like Elesh Norn absolutely kill everything. It is, however, extremely good against most kinds of decks. It is fast enough to win games (sometimes even on turn 3), and slow enough to be consistent and flexible.

Also, yes, that's Fog sitting in the sideboard. A full four copies. Trust me, they come in handy in my heavy-creature meta. It basically gives me a free turn.

Deck discussion for UG Infect: MDN v8

Have you considered running Virulent Sliver over Necropede? I've found it very good due to the fact I always want to get a creature out on T!.

Nah. I would much rather wait and cast a better creature on turn 2. I have seven one-drops in this deck (Glistener Elf, Noble Hierarch), and if i don't have a one-drop, then i can spend that turn cracking a fetchland or tapping a shockland. Also, poisonous is VERY different from Infect. My pump spells would be worthless on that sliver.

I don't even know what to say. I've been playing that way for over a year. I've never even been called out for it. Pumped it and everything.
