Allright I wanted to create an infect proliferate deck but pretty soon I found out that creating a good infect proliferate deck without Hand of the Praetors or Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon is pretty much impossible. I can't buy Hand of the Praetors or Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon because I have a very limited budget. So I tried to create a deck without those cards that is fast, and good enough to play on a casual play level. The reason Contagion Engine and Inexorable Tide aren't in the deck is because of their high manacost. They would slow my tempo too hard. I came up with a hybrid infect-proliferate combo deck. Using Steel Hellkite, Tainted Strike, Distortion Strike for the combopart of the deck. Cranial Plating boosts the power of my infect creatures. But when I look at the deck something doesn't feel quite right and I can't put my finger on it. So tips and comments are certainly welcome.

ok 1st let me say you have done so well on a budget and leaving out those big cards !, now best i can see you dont need virulent strike ! and arguabley you dont need the livewire lash's although they are excellent little cards and it does link well with all the instants !, so not a bad idea, i just think you should focus more on how your gonna get the kill counters on them, i really like the hellkite idea boosting him and doing his damge in the form of counters with the tainted strikes ect, i would add other things which could do this such as a shade of some discription - looming if you cant afford nantuko or there are some that boost on colourless mana, i would replace the virulent strike with these, even if you keep the lash's you would still have plenty of instants !, - good luck and well done

on reflection i like that you have a fair bit of kill to back up the counters and you need the +2 +0 of the lash's for your smaller poison creatures to do more damage so i would stick with the lash's but do swap the virulaent strikes for something with a bit of boostability and threat. (ive just posted a deck about a nano second before you put this up if yopu could return the favour and comment on my angry wurn deck, kile you something just dosent feel quiet right) - well done again, liking this one as we speak.
Yeah I think you are right. I need something to permanently boost the power of my infect creatures that corresponds with Livewire Lash. But I can't use equipment since "equip" is an ability not a spell. So my options are very limited and I haven't found anything worthwile. Enchantments would be the logical choice but that isn't black's strong point, and blue enchantments aren't offensive enough. I'll keep looking :-).
Sinister Strength can be usefull also thinking about Cranial Plating. I need to power my infect creatures up as fast as I can so Bonesplitter could be handy. Hmmm gonna think about a little more
May I suggest getting rid of the Contagion Clasp. It just takes too much to Proliferate. You could though add 4x Flight Spellbombs to your deck. This would grant flying to your ground creatures. Also, have you considered putting any Ichor Rats in the deck? Check out my Black, Blue, Green Infect/Proliferate Deck. It runs at pretty fast tempo.

I think Contagion Clasp is really necessary in this deck since the deck lacks the strength of bigger creatures. It is a good way to massively infect creatures and add poisoncounters to the other player's life total. I think 4 mana isn't very expensive especially since the benefits are pretty great. Also it's colorless mana which decreases the time I need to be able to use the proliferate ability of Contagion Clasp. And about Flight Spellbomb: it can be usefull, but to add this in the deck I must remove other cards which I think are more usefull than Flight Spellbomb. I'm gonna think about Ichor Rats though. Thx for the comment!
