Why no Groundswell?Are land drops not consistent enough?

It was in there and really had a hard time taking it out. But Become Immense came out and this deck burns through alot of cards so you cast it for the same cost as Groundswell and with it out the deck runs a tad slower but has better sticking power where there so much removal in modern.

Aqueous Form for scry?

scyring nice but it has no fit here. the only thing that could be removed for that would be Distortion Strike and that gives plus 1-0 and has retrace so cast next turn for free and interacts nicely with Wild Defiance. but thanks for the suggestion.

What about Misty Rainforest instead of your two off color fetches?

Cost. The only thing I'm fetching is Breeding Pool which both those fetches find and cost half the price.

why is Dryad Arbor not mb?

Only need it in lilanna matches so I see no need in running it Mb. If I didn't use a fetch on my opponents turn it would have summoning sickness if played from my hand so puts me behind a land.

Groundswell is a great card and was hard to cut but I needed a deck that was fast but able to survive long game.

You probably want 8-9 fetches to make Become Immense better.

How has 3x Distortion Strike been? I ran 3 for a while, but found it rather unimpressive so I cut it to 2.

Dismember might be something to consider for the SB.

Nice deck overall :)

I've def thought about more fetches still on the fence bout them. Personally I have found Distortion Strike great especially with Wild Defiance and sometimes getting through arrgo decks really hard and Distortion Strike gives me two chances of that for 1 mana and with Wild Defiance it makes it a Giant Growth as well. And Dismember I'll be honest I ummed and awed about this card,I mean it's great for what it does but the only 2 scenarios I could see me using it with be to take out a Siege Rhino which I would have someone beat by that time or to stop Splinter Twin combo from going off but I have Apostle's Blessing and Vines of Vastwood for that. Thanks for the comment.

Arrgo decks hard to get through*

That makes sense. There is more combo/control where I play Distortion Strike isnt as good.

I would still recommend going up to 8 fetches though (they should all be green so you can fetch that Dryad Arbor in the SB).

Yea eventually it will be Misty Rainforest just waiting to see if it gonna get a reprint.

i run Livewire Lash in a deck i own that is very similar to this. It may seem slow, but it honestly makes a great addition. I would recommend it.

I did spend alot of time looking at that card and I'm just not sure on it. It is good but seems slow and not sure what I would remove for it.

bobiscool145 says... #18

isn't Wild Defiance a little slow at 3 mana?

March 28, 2015 2:25 p.m.

deltacobra says... #19

not with Noble Hierarch comes out turn 2

A cute trick that an Infect player I know uses is running Simian Spirit Guide to get out Apostle's Blessing when tapped out. It also lets you turn 2 your Wild Defiance more reliably.

Turn 1 Blighted Agent seems good too. The only real question is, how many Guides can you support without risking running out of resources? I have no idea. I think I prefer it to Noble Hierarch, but I haven't seen that card played in Infect before.

The exalted triggers help alot in infect could be that one extra infect dam u need for the win. And with Noble it stays on the field and not a just a one trick pony. That card great to get something out fast but noble gives me extra mana every turn.

Destrian says... #23

That makes sense. I forgot about the Exalted trigger for some reason.

Did run him for awhile but I decided to change things up to survive against control decks.
