So here is my take on an infect deck...I wanted to deliver poison with out having to tap my creatures. Infect creatures are great on the defense due to the fact that they deliver -1/-1 counters each time they deliver damage. That alone is enough to keep people from thinking about attacking as well as the possibility of the counter attack.So the simplest way to deliver poison was to summon Ichor Rats to deliver 1 poison counter to each player! Getting out a Hand of the Praetors will cause trouble as well. This deck features some cheap infect creature's that will trigger the hands poison mechanic. Ichor Rats +Hand of the Praetors=2 poison for 1BB. Livewire Lash is also a heavy hitter. Equip it to any infect creature, then target it with spells to deliver 2 poison. It also works like shroud as it will keep your opponents from targeting your creature with spells. Virulent Swipe is awesome with the lash because of the rebound , 2 poison for consecutive turns!Things really get crazy when you stack the Lash's on the same creature, 4 poison for 1 mana.Another easy way is just to play Soul's Fire on a pumped up infect creature. I included Furystroke Giant as my finisher. Imagine having out 5 infect creatures when he hits the battlefield!any Suggestions are welcomed!
