THIS IS INFECT

Obviously we all wish Invigorate wasn't banned, butttt I have put together a really unique set of cards that can land 10 damage in one-punch without it. The deck has 2 parts;

  • The infect creatures / pump spells
  • The evasion / land combos.

With our infect creatures, their base power is 1 (save for Lost Leonin), which means they are gonna need some help from pump spells to get 10 poison counters across.
I quickly realized that adding 4 power to a 1 power creature was the way to go, It allows us to win in two attacks of 5, or one attack of 5 + double-strike from Double Cleave.
To that end, all of the pump spells in the deck can give +4 power on their own.

DAMAGE COMBOS:

Balancing the creatures was pretty easy, there aren't a lot of infect pauper choices, and using white in the build opened different doors than red, blue or black.

  • Timing is key when playing your creatures, it's okay to play a creature a turn late if it means you can protect him. This isn't the all in Turn 2 infect kill version of the deck. We are looking for Turns 3, 4 and 5 wins. That being said, sometimes you just go for it nah-mean?

Because we are opting out of traditional green beater cards like Rancor, the deck only has 2 main-board cards to trample damage through a blocker in 2 copies of Larger Than Life.
To compensate we are playing a SUPER FUCKING SWEET package of my own invention:

The Idea of The utility lands is to provide all the special effects our infecters need.
Because of Crop Rotation we can play the steppe at instant speed to block spells like Lightning Bolt.
And with 4 steppes, 4 rotations, and 1 Soaring Seacliff The deck can send in unblockable attacks multiple times in a game.

  • Because of the unique way our lands work, and our low card cmcs, sometimes correct to hold lands in hand, or even not crack an Evolving Wilds so that you can save up the damage.

CROP SYNERGIES:

Sideboard:

Final note:
- Pauper landfall infect is a really fun deck to play. It's fast and linear, yet the combos and synergies can create an exciting puzzle and even in the mid-range of games it often feels like your still drawing live. After all, 1-punch can change the game. And that's what makes this deck competitive, you don't need everything to go perfect. Your the aggressor 95% of the time and you have strong match-ups vs Tier 1 decks, if they mess up, your chances of winning double.

Please up-vote if you like the build or the read. I worked hard on both. Thanks!
