Why only one Phytoburst? Seems like you should run at least two, maybe over your Wooded Foothills. Also, I'd run another Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, if only for consistency's sake.

I know some infect decks like to run Noble Hierarch due to the exalted ability and the slight mana ramp.

Nef as much as I would like to run those, unfortunately, they're not in my budget. I'm substituting them with cathedral of war. seems to be effective, just not as consistent.

I am currently working on an infect list of my own, Gangreen infection.

I can recommend using fetch lands such as Windswept Heath and Wooded Foothills as both are plentiful on the market and relatively cheap at this time. You can increase this efficiency by using more Breeding Pool as your mana source as it can be fetched by fetches.

Become Immense is a cheap ($) buff spell that will be cheap to cast, especially if you start using fetches as they will fill your graveyard and allow you to go for a faster finish.

weisemanjohn good suggestions. I'll have to play test the fetch land dynamic, and I've been meaning to track down a couple of copies of become immense. thx.

I would think about throwing in a one off of Dryad Arbor if you decide to run fetches. Against Liliana of the Veil -2 when you have one creature on board, you can fetch arbor in response and keep your infect creature alive. I'll also second Become Immense. In a deck where you can have a full graveyard turn 2 or 3, it tends to cost almost nothing nost of the time with its delve cost. Think about replacing the Giant Growth with them. +1 from me

thanks for the suggestions Unlife ill definitely play test the fetch dryad. unfortunately though, after extensive play testing, become immense never made the cut.

Giant Growth is pretty miserable. I'd choose a more fun, and stronger card to play instead. Probably go to 3 Distortion Strike.

yeah, youre right. need to get my hands on some Noble Hierarchs also.

4/0 @ fnm last night. placed first.

simoHayha says... #18

Nice list, my only thoughts are that 3 Distortion Strike may be a bit overkill since they dont really wanna block many of youre creatures and you have Apostle's Blessing anyway.

I would suggest 1-2 Become Immense and/or 1-2 Gitaxian Probe. Knowing when you can go for it and put creatures into play safely or when you have to hold up protection has so much value. But having 4 is just horible against burn so 1-2 is nice.

Thats all i got. Like the build, good job on the 4-0 .

simoHayha says... #19

Also, maybe Spell Pierce/Dispel > Ranger's Guile in sb? Its something that could be brought in against things like burn and still serves a similar purpose.

Im still on the fence about that but its a thought at least.

r_type_one says... #20

Those are good suggestions. I've been meaning to update the sb. Meta is always changing.

+1 for infecty fun. There's still nothing more infuriating than a modern infect deck.

Noble hierarch is very good in the deck, but I like spellskite as a (more) budget alternative. I also don't think you need ichorclaw myr, and would replace some of him with become immense. Spell pierce and natures claim should both be somewhere in the 75. Gitaxian probe could also be interesting.

r_type_one says... #24

thanks for the suggestions. ill look into playtesting those.
