The highly competitive deck that has brought me several FNM top 3 finishes and won a pptq for the aether revolt pro tour season. This is the deck list i had for the PTQ Montreal (Dec 11, 2016)

Why I play infect:

I've been playing mtg since 2010. I only went to fnm for drafting. Soon after playing for a little while and "gathering" many cards. I decided to make some decks. Many of which were strictly casual. I went to college just having bad casual decks. The local store in my college's town didn't draft for fnm. They played modern. I looked into it and it turned out one of my poo-poo decks was modern legal. I brought it the following Friday and the first deck I played against was urza-tron. The kid was a snob. Stuck up and obviously beat my noobish deck. That's fine and all but he happened to mention my deck was utter shit. This pissed me off. I later went to the internet lie most aggravated people do. I looked for the best deck to beat tron. Turns out it was aggro decks like infect. I built a budget mono green version with Rancor. This was also before Kahns of tarkir was a set so Become Immense wasn't an option. I beat him that next week after I got all the cards for the deck. It was great. Ever since that day he has held a grudge against me. After the mono green versions, I tried to make it faster. I made a red variant of this deck with Assault Strobe as the double strike factor. It was easy to get a +4/+4 buff from something like Might of Old Krosa or Groundswell then swing double strike. Assault Strobe being at sorcery speed made it too easy to predict. It was lethal on turn to many times but the was harder to get than I wanted it to be, even with Simian Spirit Guides. The deck was fun as but it was way to inconstant regardless of top 8ing a pptq for the 2015 season. After this I didnt want to have my infect creature become blocked after I pump it up or waste pumps to keep it alive after blocks. I went for the variant for the unblockable Blighted Agent and Distortion Strike also before Slip Through Space. I liked this deck a lot and ended up keeping it these color but that didnt stop from trying new things. I ended up trying . Splashing for Path to Exile and Sideboard options Rest in Peace and Geist of Saint Traft.

All in all, I ended up liking the version and finding it the most consistent kill not necessarily the fastest out of all the variants.
