We kill enemies with infect counters. Either to ping them for 1 Poison counter and proliferate them to death, or we slap them with a beefed up infect hitter with Minthara acting as a banner to buff them once she's on the battlefield. Minthara is resilient to targeted deletion, but will go down pretty fast before her ward can get very high or simply to board wipes. Thus we try to bring her as late as possible. We either tutor Daxos the Returned so that she can create the first experience counter for us, or we bring Minthara on the board early for that. Then we rely mostly on Proliferate to increase this counter. Any infect flyer we ideally keep in hand if there is not too much discarding happening, because once it is on the field we will become The Threat. When ready to finish the game, proliferate a bunch, bring Minthara to buff our infect cards, swing and delete. Our wincons are Poison and Experience counters, which both ignore all form of board wipes. Thus we're perfectly fine with board wipes happening, and might even want to trigger some ourselves.

Need to remove some useless cards and put more tutors / ways to thin the deck (sac lands).
