Nice deck, Dark Confidant would help you a lot, if you can get your hands on some.

I would also up your Devour Flesh count. It's so strong in an infect deck, with lots of other removal. You can even sack your own creatures for life in a pinch.

Thanks The_Squirrel! I don't think Dark Confidant is a must have for this deck. As for Devour Flesh, I'm going to do some play testing this weekend to see how well my removal spells do. If I find that Smother or Dismember are inaffective, they will get cut for more Devour Flesh. Thanks for the up vote!

I like how this deck is shaped up. Lilly makes such a huge difference :)

Hey APPLE01DOJ! Thanks man. Yeah, Lilly is great. I just got a play set yesterday ($190 btw). I haven't done too much play testing as of yet. This weekend I will get a chance to do some serious testing. I don't think I need to run 4 Lilly's. I used the fourth slot for a Phyrexian Arena to help with the card advantage.

I can appreciate if you think you've spent enough money on this deck already, but seriously, in this kind of deck, Dark Confidant is far better than Phyrexian Arena . I agree, Arena has its uses. (I took over confidant anyday in the early stages of my deck ProgEmrakul, the Opponents Ragequit before I learned about Explore .) But that was because I have Emrakuls in there, so I wasn't willing to take 15 damage from a topdeck...
In this case, Dark Confidant is better due to a lower mana cost, the ability to attack and protect your Lilianas. Furthermore, the majority of your curve is really low, so Confidant will rarely do huge damage to you.
If you won't take this advice, switch Night's Whisper for Sign in Blood . It's strictly better on the grounds that you can kill the opponent with it, while Whisper can only target you. Sign is Whisper, but it can also be a finisher, not just a card advantage creator.

Sign in Blood is useless for an infect deck simply because my opponents life total does not apply. Also, if you notice Emrakul-the-Format-Broken, I run a colourless land, Inkmoth Nexus. I like to play Inkmoth on turn 2 if in hand. With that said, I like to run 2 cmc cards with 1B as opposed to BB. This is what makes Night's Whisper a great card in this deck. As for Dark Confidant, he is not a must have in this deck, regardless of the price. Phyrexian Arena works just fine. Thanks for the suggestions.

I think I commented before comments were cleared, but in case I didn't, great deck! I recently constructed a similar modern deck, minus the Lillys, which are a little out of my price range for the time being. Aside from Lilly, do you have any suggestions? I haven't had the chance to run the deck competitively yet. Mono Black Discard and Infect

Hey avrgeboy123. Thanks for the suggestion. If you took the time to read my discription, you'd understand why I use Devour Flesh over Geth's Verdict.

I saw that after i posted the comment and felt stupid immediately after! sorry!

Sign in Blood could be better than Night's Whisper because it targets anyone. What if they have 2 or less life? BAM, draw two cards and lose two life please! xD
July 25, 2014 6:07 p.m.
Lol, acutally... Scratch that. You're using Infect! xD Only poison counters, not damage.

Thanks for the suggestions Nightside_Eclipse. I'm starting to think eight creatures is not enough. Plague Stinger looks the best out of the three you mentioned.

So I've found a good deal on a play set of Lilliana of the Veil. I need some help figuring out what to cut to make room for this sexy Planeswalker. drenardy
