Infect turn 2-3 kills in Pauper.

Mulligan: T1 play + 1-3 lands. At least 1 infect creature within the first 2 draws.

Sideboard's all silver bullets to certain metas; change at will as the format develops, but always mind BURN and AFFINITY. Don't overboard, most days you'll drown'em in poison before they can do anything.

P.S.: I got tired of detailing every single update I made to this. I'm just gonna cut out what didn't work quite as well and throw it on "maybe", for when format shifts occur.

Unusual lines:

Land Grant 0-1 land keeps

Apostle's Blessing to be unblockable

Vines of Vastwood to counter opponent's spells on their own creatures

Tamiyo's Safekeeping your land against ponza

Ram Through after the effect of Llanowar Augur (on upkeep, so remember before drawing for turn!)

Suggestions

Updates Add

Added

  • x3 Tormod's Crypt
  • x2 Apostle's Blessing

Removed

  • x3 Relic of Progenitus
  • x2 Vitality Charm

Even while missing the cantrip potential, being able to go faster by wasting no mana to cast or activate helps this down-to-the-ground (in the mana department) take on infect by a lot.

With the additions (+Modern Masters's), it just so happens that colors other than black are pretty okay with their removal, thus making extra copies of Apostle's Blessing more relevant than Vitality Charm.
