Sultai Infect list, very different than my own U/G infect list. Sultai Infect is much more versatile and feels more like legacy infect. You have the option to wait until the right time to lash out for 10 infect instead of the "all in" buff spell style of other infect lists. The only black card that we put in the mainboard is Plague Stinger. This is much better than Glistener Elf in the current modern meta where fliers are not a common threat, making Plague Stinger virtually unblockable. The deck uses Thought Scour and Opt to go through your deck quicker and find the pieces you need. This deck is also able to use Become Immense very easily thanks to fetch lands, Opt, Thought Scour, and Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  . A very powerful infect deck with extremely consistent turn 4 wins, often with enough control and protection to guarantee your win.

NOTE ON JTMS UNBAN - 2/26/2018

This unbanning is very good for infect. Anything that incentives opponents towards a more mid to late game play style is good for infect. Before this unban, I believed this version of infect to be superior to the UG version. Now, I am unsure which is better. While I do believe they are both now more powerful, the UG version may be superior for the fact that it is designed to kill on turn 3 whereas this deck is designed to kill on turn 4. With the lovely JTMS costing 4 mana, we can see where the problem arises. JTMS is very good against any non Inkmoth Nexus infecter, as it can repeatedly bounce our infecter to our hand. This may create problems for this deck that the UG version will notice less of the time, but only time will tell what will actually happen.

EDIT AFTER EXTENSIVE TESTING - 5/12/2018

I have come to believe that the U/G version of infect is now superior to this list. To see my personal U/G list, click right here.
