Bazaar trader is a good idea but you would need the ideal condition to make this happen. first off you would need to get bazaar trader out. then next turn cast vatmother (2,S,S), send it over with Bazaar trader, then use Pacifism (1, W). Looking at your mana, that would be at earliest on turn 6. At that point you are already in mid-late game. Depending on who is more aggressive at that point, you might want to keep the vatmother for defense. That is if they are not also playing infect. If they are, then this match would be a battle of first to 10 and trying to focus on the combo will most definately distract you. Also if a Vatmother goes to the graveyard and you have the ooze out, you start getting poison counters.

My suggestion would be trade out the vector asps for other artifacts with infect. Maybe even a plague myr for a bit of mana ramping. Then take Skithiryx, at least 1 vatmother and 1 bazaar trader out and put in 3 Hand of the Praetors. Next i would exchange the mark of mutiny with Act of Treason. Same cost and doesnt give the creature a +1/+1 when you give it back.

Now you can use the Bazaar trader to take creatures from your opponent using mark of mutiny or act of treason. If that is your alternate goal then you might want to have 4 marks and 4 acts of treason.

Now looking at the primary color of this deck, i see majority black but you only have 4 swamps and 4 cliffs.

lol! funny thing is i will only use the foil captivating vampires...

The "counterspell" (UU) you speak of is actually 3 mana (1 colorless, 2 blue) called Cancel. I will put 4 Negates in sideboard. With Asceticism and Whispersilk, i want to make sure that the blightsteels do not get bounced, arrested, or exiled. The mana acceleration is a good though and i will need to add more. And as for the 4 Blightsteel Colossus', just havnt play tested it to verify if the validity of the number needed. I will proxy what i dont have, and try to actually play test it. i will use the the elves and the cultivates to get the mana needed and if needed to hardcast the blightsteel at turn 6 or 7.

How often does the Culling Dais combo or the tectonic edge land destruction work? This deck is extremely impressive and i would like to try it out on my friends.

I did create this Infect deck but was not able to play test it yet. Not an instant kill but blightsteel on turn 4 isnt too bad.

Also White Suns Passage is an instant 5 life for 1 colorless and 1 plains.

I have seen this deck in the making and it is a pretty tough casual play deck.
