I would still run white with the urza...I mean the only white cards in the mainboard require 2 plains at most and urzas would give me more than enough colorless. Quicker as in run 4 apostle and unscathed for free poison counters each turn for a quicker win. I don't always get to swing unblocked, and running 4 apostles instead of 1 would make it quicker in theory, the only problem is what to take out if i chose to do that. I value unblockable over removal but they both help. I'm not sure.

@Vahkii i would go with the unblockable too. it's the game changer more often than not.

Okay so I just finished building this deck, minus the vats. What kind of opening hand do you look for?

2-3 lands (maybe 2 plains, one inkmoth), 1 tempered steel, and at least 1 creature (myr, or necropede). getting the tempered steel out on turn 3 is hard to stop because all the creatures are much scarier at that point. it really put them on a 3 turn clock. especially if you have an inkmoth because they have to have instant speed creature removal on hand, or land removal.

i also like to have oust in my hand early because it sets them back and messes up their draw early game.

Would you maybe recommend Idyllic Tutor to get an extra armored ascension or tempered steel out? Or just draw them?

I've never used the Idyllic Tutor...but that could be a nice to get something in your hand.

Okay, so I played this at our local meetup and this deck was about a 1:1 ratio on W/L. Then I wanted to try out Elusive Blight and it started going more towards a 1:2 W/L. Only reasons I lost any match was any aggro I couldn't Oust or Condemn in time. I loved playing it and I'm gonna keep experimenting with this and not take it apart (:

That sounds about right 50% +/- is a good ratio for a deck. Playing it casually, I have succeeded in maintaining about a 2:1 win/loss but you are likely going up against stout competition if you were playing it Modern.

Oust is my favorite control play for this deck.

Yes, this was competitive Pithing Needle and super aggro decks, yet still I went 2-2 of 4 rounds. Casual I've won about 3:1, though. Oust was hated by everyone and they sideboarded so many Pithing Needle s just for that. I almost got an award for "Most annoying 1 drop"

NICE! I love that. That's my favorite award!

Path to Exile instead of Oust maybe?

Mixing artifact to white can add some cool stuff on an infect deck, but I was wondering about how to increase the effectivenes of my mono-black infect deck and it should be green, so I can put a few more buffs and destroy things that black cannot! Take a look on Infect new generation and give ur feedback if possible. Good deck btw, +1!
