Deck Description

Infect early and BANG!

*NOTE: This is my first new deck since I stopped playing at the end of what is now referred to as the "Artifacts Cycle."

I didn't have the cards for the sideboard when I played the GPT qualifier last weekend, so I literally just grabbed a handful of Forests, Llanowar Elves, and Naturalize's. Still picked up the win.

Nice man. Maybe Ichorclaw Myr? Other than that, you're looking good and fast!
Check out my U/G infect? A little different take. I added proliferate.

I thought about Ichorclaw in place of Necropede, but found the people were afraid to block the Necropede for fear of getting a "feature" creature knocked off as a result. I still might try running it that way sometime to see what difference it makes. I also got odd looks, once people had a chance to look at the deck after the tournament, for not running Inkmoth Nexus. Again, it was a possibility, but the deck has very little use for colorless mana. I just wasn't willing to risk not having the right type of mana. Between the Blighted Agents and the Distortion Strikes, the benefit of a flying infect creature to get by land defenders just wasn't that great.

This deck won our local GPT qualifier, with only one game loss on the day. It was a small qualifier, but I was extremely pleased with the way the deck performed. I know that some people have opted for the proliferate route, but I found that I either delivered all 10 poison counters to my opponent in one turn, or possibly two turns. Proliferate cards would have sat in my hand waiting for an opportunity to use. This deck can't afford to lose the opportunity to draw a pump card. Drop a Livewire Lash on a Glistening Elf, hit it with a Distortion Strike and a Groundswell in one turn and it's over.

I love fast infect. I picked a different route for infect, though. Check it out and let me know what you think. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=230571
