The BG infect lists I've seen before typically play Phyrexian Crusader, as it dodges Path to Exile and Lightning Bolt and is hard to kill with Fatal Push. It also needs to be blocked by 4 toughness or higher because it reduces their power before they deal damage. Any reason it's not included at the moment?

The only real reason I don't have him in the main is because on my turn 3 he ended up getting the fatal push pretty much every time. And on turn 3 that's a huge hit to this deck when I could have been pumping for a possible win instead of bringing him out. I have him side boarded because it's a great card for the deck and has worked for me before but what I'm playing against here he just hasn't preformed well and is a removal magnet/wasted turn most times.

Id drop 1x Guttural Response and 1x Livewire Lash from Side and add in 1x Nature's Claim and 1x Heroic Intervention.
Really nice build, +1

Okay, so first off, you need to finish the playset of Inkies. They dodge removal and make your opponents choices much harder. If possible, pick up fetch lands (Windswept Heath, Verdant Catacombs, Wooded Foothills). They fuel delve, clear lands out of the deck for later turns, and make the deck more consistent. For creatures Blight Mamba is meh, I would rather play more pump spells. If possible get Noble Hierarch, they cost a hefty price tag but make the deck so much better. Now to pumps. Virulent Swipe and the like are awful in Modern. You need Blossoming Defense, because in a world without Gitaxian Probe and with Fatal Push, etc. Hexproof is highly important to keep your creatures alive. Might of Old Krosa is +4/+4 for G, so it easily replaces some of your sub optimal choices. My personal list is Blue Green, but you may be able to learn something from the primer. Deadly Neurotoxin

I understand where you are going with Blight Mamba, but you shouldn't have 2 mana open for regeneration. When you play an infect creature, your goal is to tap out next turn and kill your opponent. Leaving open 2 mana is too much of a commitment. Ichorclaw Myr would be better because it self-pumps, fore free, and with the self-pump will more reliably kill opposing creatures.

All in all a great deck. I would suggest some hand disruption to replace the now banned Gitaxian Probe, such as Inquisition of Kozilek or Thoughtseize. Also Abrupt Decay would be a nice option to deal with permanents instead of just creature removal. Lastly, I suggest Rancor as a permanent pump spell and it gives trample. It also returns to your hand if your creature dies. Just my two cents. Good luck with the deck and keep us posted on the results you get with it.

Thanks for the suggestions! All feedback is always appreciated. I have thoughtseize in there and it works wonders for this deck. I used to have inquisition in there as well but i found i was drawing it way too often an decided to take it out. As for rancor (it was in here as well) it is a great card. I took it out only because i found it more effective to have bigger 1 time pump spells in.

Np, I am a control fan myself, so I figured I'd give your creature based deck some help against blue respectively. There might be other spells to help, but I think Guttural is one of the few staples for it's cmc, within your colors that could be the difference between winning and losing
