R/G hyper aggressive Infect that includes a decent possibility of a turn 2 victory.

Turn one: Green Mana, Glistener Elf

Turn two: Red Mana, any green buff(s) equaling +4/+? and then Assault Strobe .

That's in addition to simply buffing up the elf with a minimum combination of +9/+9 buffs on turn two.

Flesh / Blood is a brutal finisher and a great way to get around blockers or various forms of control.

I'm curious to see how effective Wild Defiance might be in this deck. The 3 casting cost isn't optimal, but it doesn't just protect infect creatures from the ubiquitous Lightning Bolt , it also turns other spells like Assault Strobe and Flesh / Blood into potential kill cards even without additional buffs.

Life's Legacy is a card that I feel like could have some sneaky meta benefits, refilling your hand when you have more infect creatures on the board than you need - shame it's not an instant.

The only thing keeping this deck from being dirt cheap are the lands.

For those who don't like Canopy Cover as much as I do, simply replace with the more standard Vines of Vastwood (as you see above), with Wild Defiance or with Ghor-Clan Rampager for its un-counterable Bloodrush ability.
