The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...
Start typing a card name and use the auto-complete feature to quickly select the card you're trying to add. Enter a quantity and add that card to your sideboard!
Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.
Potential deck for a $10 deck challenge.
The idea is to win through poison with the infect mechanic, getting at least one poison counter on your opponent so you can proliferate. Can also use the -1/-1 counters and proliferate to take out opponent's creatures.

I had no idea it even existed! It's amazing, thank you! I've tweaked the deck and added it.
No problem.
I would recommend you cut Abjure to make it a modern deck.Decimator Web gets a poison counter for 4+4mana. Viral Drake is a proliferating infect flyer for the same cost.Inexorable Tide is to expensive for its use. That late into the game you wanto to do something else with 5mana and also hand should almost be empty.Tezzeret's Gambit (or Steady Progress) could solve both problems.Have you considered black or green infect instead of white?All in all a ice budget deck though :)
Thanks for the ideas! I've added in the Viral Drake and Steady Progress, and removed the Decimator's Web and Inexorable Tide.This is just for a little challenge with a few friends. Our only guidelines were at least 60 cards, no infinite loops, and it has to be $10 or less (excluding basic lands). So it doesn't have to be Modern. What would you recommend to replace the Abjures though?
would drop 2 Lands and both Abjure for 4 Tezzeret's Gambit -> it draws two for 3 mana...Ordeal of Thassa could be interesting too. You can proliferate the +1 counters and after 3 attacks you draw 2.If you are looking for counter spells, simple Mana Leak / Remove Soul could do.Playtesting is the most important thing to balance a deck. With decent blue card draw 22 to 21 lands should do :)(depending how often you run into creature removal, Stratus Walk could be better then Aqueous Form. AF is an awsome card, but your creatures die to every red/black removal. Stratus Walk at least replaces itself, therefore you don't lose 2 cards for 1)(Combining instant card draw with counter spells is very powerfull, you leave your mana open and if your opponent doesnt do anything worth countering you can use the mana for drawing...)
Also, Mental Misstep would be a good 1-drop counter and it'll fit in theme
Dont think 1 drops will be that powerfull in a 10$ environment that he needs a counter spell, just for that.Salvage Drone as a value blocker or Peek should do. Wingcrafter is also fun as it will provide flying to another creature
Thanks guys! I really like Mana Leak, and I've added a few in. Mental Misstep looks great, but I don't think they'll be playing with enough 1-mana spells to make it useful. Maybe for a sideboard?I think I'll stick with Aqueous Form over Stratus Walk. None of them typically play with red or black removal cards, or not many if they do, so I don't expect to see them showing up in their $10 decks.I really appreciate all the input and help from you guys =]
