Deck Description

Based on the article "Third Turn Standard Kills", http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/rc/197

This deck attempts to punch a hole through your opponents defense to deliver 10 poison counters.
This deck works VERY well and packs a quick punch!! It has often won games as early as turn 3!

The Wild Defiance enchantment ensures that your creature's grow by +3/+3 whenever they're targeted. With this enchantment in play, it's very easy to attack your opponent and then apply the buffs to your creatures to pack a huge infect punch!

Livewire Lash:
- This equipment, if attached to an infect creature (which is a given), deals 2 "infect" damage when the equipped creature is targetted with any spell.
- Use this to your advantage to kill potential blockers with -2/-2 infect counters, or instead deal 2 x infect counters directly to your opponent

Gut Shot:
- This one of card is useful for killing a cheap (potential blocker) creature on your opponents side
- or to target one of our creatures, with Livewire Lash equipped, to deal 2 infect damage directly to any target.
- or to target one of our creatures triggering the Wild Defiance enchantment which gives our creature +3/+3 until end of turn.
- We don't have red mana in our deck, so we'll need to pay the phyrexian cost with 2 life.

Apostles Blessing:
- Use this card to give one of your creatures protection from a colour to either punch through defenders or to protect him from spot removal.
- This can can also trigger Livewire Lash or Wild Defiance when a creature is targeted.
- We don't have white mana in our deck, so we'll need to pay the phyrexian cost with 2 life.
