Deck Description

A pretty cheap (in dollars compared to most of my other EDH decks) deck that is all about infect/deathtouch. Basically, your opponents don't want these touching either them or their creatures.

Deck discussion for EDH Don't Touch Me

Nice. I've been running Glissa deathtouch tribal for a few years: http://www.mtgvault.com/doctorhydrogen/decks/glissa-the-traitor-edh-9/

Few small things:

Regrowth has the same cmc as Revive, but lets you get any color card. It's like 80 cents too so it's budget friendly. I think there was a copy in the Heroes vs. Monsters dual deck. If you can't find one Treasured Find also costs 2 (BG though) and also gets any card, though it self-exiles after. It's not a game breaking change, but I wouldn't want to have a Revive in hand and really need to get a Doom Blade back.

Speaking of, Hero's Downfall is just over two bucks, costs the same to cast as Murder, and can also hit Planeswalkers. Again, not amazing, but for two dollars it's worth upgrading at some point.

Triangle of War is another recurrable kill option like Executioner's Capsule. You could also use Arena, but I found being unable to tap for mana, and giving my opponent the option to pick the creature made it not worth running.

Although they look stupid, Mishra's Bauble and Urza's Bauble are AMAZING. I've had games where a single bauble has drawn me ten cards over the course of a game at zero cost.

Deathreap Ritual is also a really good draw option here.

Thornbite Staff gives another Viridian Longbow-like way to remove stuff. The real cool part though is if you happen to have both out, they combo. Use the Viridian Longbow to kill a due, and Thornbite Staff untaps your guy. Repeat. You can essentially chain-gun down the entire board if you have it on a deathtouch guy.

I looked thru the cards you mentioned, and I have to say I especially love the baubles. Getting a hit of what might becoming is awesome, and drawing an extra card is just icing on the cake. I think I may even already have a Thornbite Staff somewhere, so I cant wait to try it out! Thanks for all the suggestions, they all seem great!

No problem, glad to help :)

People are going to look at you like you're crazy when you play the Bauble.. Then something dies and you bring it back and draw again, and again, and again, and again, and eight cards later people think you're a genius :)
