The most insane infect deck you'll find on the site. Designed to be among the fastest decks in modern, rivaling even mono-red goblins. Sure, the price tag is a huge downside, but it's an ironically small price to pay to sit at the cool kids table.

Here's an overly in-depth explanation of this deck (In no particular order (because I don't feel like ordering it)):

Creatures Show

4x Blighted Agent: An infect staple. A 1/1 unblockable for 2. Obvious pick for this deck.

4x Glistener Elf: Can't live without glistener elf. With it being the most efficient infect creature, building an infect deck without one (or four) is almost unheard of.

4x Noble Hierarch: While it may not be infect, the exalted trigger is insane in this kind of deck, especially if you have multiple on the battlefield. You can't forget it has UGW mana fixing as well. An extremely powerful one drop in magic, no wonder it's over $200 for a playset.

Other spells Show

4x Become Immense: One of the most important cards in the deck. Instant speed buff of +6/+6 with delve, which makes it very easy to cast in this deck.

4x Rancor: One drop aura for +2/+0 and trample. What more could you ask for. How about reuseability.

2x Apostle's Blessing: Insant speed protection. Surprise your opponents with these.

1x Spell Pierce: Aye bois, ists backsups.

4x Gitaxian Probe: Pretty much a free spell to make sure the coast is clear to do your work, then draw a card to replace it. A modern blue staple.

4x Mutagenic Growth: +2/+2 buff for free at instant speed. Easily my favorite pump spell.

1x Distortion Strike: Make your elf an unblockable 2/1 dude and maybe even pump that shit a bit. Foolproof.

4x Groundswell: My favorite pump spell that isn't Mutagenic Growth is Groundswell. Pay one green and a creature you control gets +2/+2 until eot. Unless you played one land that turn, the landfall would give it +4/+4 instead. In a scenario where someone attacks you, try cracking a fetchland, and surprise block with a 5/5. Your Blighted Agent get bolted? No sweat, Clyde, drop a Groundswell on it.

Lands Show

4x Inkmoth Nexus: Ahh yes, this deck wouldn't be much without inkmoth. Tap one, turn it into a 1/1 infect flyer. Not only is it difficult to block, but it's even harder to get rid of, with it being a land.

2x Pendelhaven: This is self explanatory, a land that can buff creatures. Legend rule also benefits Become Immense.

2x Breeding Pool: A simic shockland, not much more to say. You usually don't need more than one on the battlefield, because blue is so scarce in this deck.

9x Fetchlands: O boi, what would you do without fetchlands. I have nine of them so you're almost guaranteed a breeding pool, and is very effiecent for feeding Become Immense's delve. I run nine that can fetch forests, so I'm able to always have either breeding pool or a basic forest (or Dryad Arbor).

1x Dryad Arbor: It may seem like it doesn't belong, but it's perfect if an effect, like Liliana's downtick ability, forces you to sac a creature. Plus, it has Forest as a subtype, so it's fetchable.

2x Forest

Sideboard Show

4x Twisted Image: Your opponents stopping your buffs with Spellskites? Just drop Twisted Image on them and get rid of them.

4x Spellskite: Your worst enemy can become your best friend sometimes. Throw in a couple Spellskites if your opponents running lots of burn or removal.
