Commander deck I am working on for Grand Prix Atlanta. I want the deck to be relatively competitive, but don't want to have any infinite combos. If there are some incidental ones, that is fine, but I am not aiming to build towards them. Has to be kept legal for 1v1 and multiplayer.

For multiplayer games:-1 Dust Bowl +1 Strip Mine-1 Thassa +1 Sensei's Divining Top-1 Pact of Negation +1 Mindbreak Trap

The biggest was this deck operates different than other infect decks is that Rafiq is a combo piece, so we really only need to punch a 4-power infect guy through, since Rafiq will give it the +1/+1 and then double strike for 10.

One of the more powerful combos in the deck is Rafiq + 2 power Infecter + Jitte. Attack with 2 power/jitte creature, it becomes a 3/3, hits them for 3 infect on the first strike, Jitte gets the counters, take them off before regular damage for +2/+2 twice, and it becomes a 7/7, so they die, and Jitte gets two more counters.
