I'm setting out to build my first fully custom deck, and I want it to be an infect deck. Other than that one criteria, I'm undecided on the rest. I'm also relatively new to magic as a whole so I'm not entirely in the know about what I'm doing.

My first idea for a strategy went: get some early poison counters onto my opponent with low cost creatures (In particular the Blighted Agent, perhaps also Ichor Rats and Plague Stinger), then throughout the mid game proliferate as much as possible while staying alive with a few tougher creatures. Ideally this would be enough to win, but as a fail-safe I thought throwing a couple of Phyrexian Swarmlords in should finish the job.

This hints at a three colour deck, something I have little experience with, which presents another of many uncertainties. This is my first and only idea so far, I'd really like some advice on the validity of the concept, other concepts would be welcome too as well any general deck building advice :)
