Without fetches Become Immense slows down a bit but u still burning through alot of cheap spells. Gitaxian Probe is def a solid 4 since it draws cards and check opponents hand for removal spells. On a budget Ichorclaw Myr teamed with Rancor is pretty solid. I'd personally cut Wild Defiance since you will want to finish your opponent before u slap that down. I'd also cut Cathedral of War a deck built for speed can't afford for a land to enter tapped. Slip Through Space a much more solid card than Aqueous Form. Definitely need 4 Mutagenic Growth pump spells are a big part of infect. Apostle's Blessing I'd run 2. there better pump spells then Phytoburst. The only 2 blue cards that all infect decks run are Blighted Agent and Gitaxian Probe since they the only ones worth running in the main unless u wanna mainboard a few Twisted Image if your play group plays Spellskite and Dismember always a solid sideboard card.

There is a fundamental difference between Mono-Green infect and simic infect. Mono-G is built to slam hard and fast, and, as such, is not an appropriate home for main board Wild Defiance. You want to cram as much cheap pump as possible. It's much more a combo deck than simic. Simic, however, is much more resilient. Wild defiance shines here, blanking Lightning Bolt and Forked Bolt; spells that are common in this meta. I suggest Spell Pierce or Dispel main board, as a one or two of, for protection. Slip Through Space is a great card, and I prefer it over Artful Dodge and Distortion Strike- the card draw is that good.

So Become Immense or not? Why is Slip Through Space better than Aqueous Form? Just curious. My play group probably won't be playing Spellskite, most of them play too budget. Most of the people I play with aren't very serious. What do I take out to get in the Gitaxian Probes, Apostle's Blessing and Mutagenic Growth? As cutting the Wild Defiances will only get me 2 extra spots.

Thanks for your help too! We posted almost at exactly the same time! So if I should keep Wild Defiance how do I get in all those other cards? I feel like just making 150 card decks sometimes... I have to go right now but I will respond later.

So seems like the vote goes to Slip Through Space! That's a can-do! I'll keep it in the description though just in case anyone else has a different opinion/argument to the card.

Thanks so much for all the feedback deltacobra and mtgThaen, I feel like on this website people often just write really short comments like: "Add (X card that fits with the deck but isn't that good)" I see that a lot on many different decks. Although it isn't worth having a whole discussion about that here, better for the forums.

You could try Become Immense as a 1 or 2 of to test but it won't be as good without fetches. Form is decent but I'd rather draw a card then scry that card that you draw could be the lethal pump spell u need. I'd cut defiance your shooting for turn 3 win so you be firing off pump spells instead of that. Now Distortion strike great in a deck running defiance since the rebound awesome.

If u want there infect decks on my wall if u wanna check them out.

And Np I've been playing infect for bout 4 years now and I started with a budget infect deck till I built my tier 1 infect deck with my winnings from fnms

So take out Wild Defiance? Add 2x Gitaxian Probe is what you are saying? I'll check out your wall!

Does This Look Infected??? (Budget Version) was actually one of the decks I was looking at to find good infect cards to put in this deck. What a coincidence! It is extremely similar to this deck now that I look at it again.

Actually, I take that back it was the original version, not the budget version now that I look at them. I didn't know there was a budget version at the time I think. Although, the budget version is still similar to this deck though.

Wait... You made a tier 1 modern deck from packs and promos from FNMs!? Or did they do store credit and you built it up that high!? They had all of those singles at your local store?

Store credit that I won I'd buy a piece here and piece there. Even with budget infect I was finishing top 3 everytime but to be honest when I started it I just went mono green to start

Yea you definitely want 4 probes the card draw and checking to see if there anything in your opponents hand that can kill or exile your creature is so important and u get all this for life.

Wow that's incredible! I am switching the cards now. You said earlier I would be shooting for T3 win? Is it really that consistent? I currently have: Mono Green Infect. One of the reasons I wanted a U/G infect was because I already had many of the cards that I would end up putting in it (from the deck I posted earlier). I got that deck about a year after I first started playing (again I am a pretty new player) I didn't write that I made the mono-green deck already in the description because I want this deck not to rely on using as much as what I already have as it can but just to be as good as it can be. So, I don't care if I don't use the cards in that deck in this one. Anyway, in that deck I barely ever get T3 win. Is this deck that much better? What if I don't win T3? Then what? Do I need to win T3 or will I just wind up normally winning around then anyway? Btw I probably won't be playing tier 1 decks with this most of the time. Also, do you know a good casual budget infect deck on this website? I just can't find one.

Also, where do I find room for the other cards you and mtgThaen said I should add?

No problem! I too started out with a "budget" infect deck (when Inkmoth Nexus were $25. To be honest, busget builds for infect tend to do best as mono-green. Non budget, simic is better, but not being able to play fetch lands is a pretty big deal.Slip is better than aqueous form, to me, for a number of reasons: it immediately draws a card, rather than just scrying; it procs wild D; it can be used on Inkmoth Nexus without it feeling like a waste of resources. I know you don't run the nexus, but the other two points still stand. You can safely go down to two, though. Three is a bit much. Besides, you already have Ichor Myr and rancor.

Also, I wouldn't run any more than 19 lands. You can cut three islands, I think, and if you're worried about blue run an additional Yavimaya Coast. That should free up some slots. I say 19 because the general consensus is, from what I've heard, that 19 is the magic number for Aggro infect. Golgari infect and mono black can run more, but that's not important here. The Cathedrals are great for exalted, but with 2 colors you may find them hindering more than helping.

If you have any questions about piloting the deck, I've been playing it for quite some time, and my metas are very competitive, so I can help with matchup analysis.

Usually with infect if you haven't won by turn 4 on budget I find you don't usually win the match due to the fact alot of tier 1 decks start to get there board state going and combos off. Personally the only thing you running blue for right now is Blighted Agent and Slip Through Space which don't get me wrong are both good cards but simic infect is expensive due to the fact of running Noble Hierarch and the fetchlands and Breeding Pool. I personally think the Cathedral of War is a huge waste of space due to the fact it comes in tapped and is only adding one attack. But a deck that relays on speed can't afford to lose a land for a turn. In this deck I also feel your creature count is low due to the fact that non budget deck will run Inkmoth Nexus. How much of a budget do you have to acquire cards cause Might of Old Krosa is a solid pump spell. And 19 lands in my opinion is too low without fetches and shocks.

Here try this out it.

I was messing around was hitting turn 3 wins fairly often.

Cool! I will take out Cathedral of War then. If Might of Old Krosa goes down in price a bit more I might add it, but right now I am only doing cards under $5. Also, I want it to be well under $100. I agree that 19 is probably not enough if I don't have fetches or shocks. I'm not too experienced so I could well be wrong. However, most of the people I would be playing do not use tier 1 decks. Although, some might. Again, how do I free up the extra spots?

That deck above is basically what I think u should run and replace the mights with giant growth

And test it to see if u like it since u will be the one using the deck. That was easier then looking through your list and picking things out since doing this on my phone sucks lol.

Another great budget deck is goblins and easy on the wallet since you only dealing with a single mana base
