rebuild, so updated description:

Affinity Infect

Utilizing Infect from Blighted Agent, Inkmoth Nexus, and Ichorclaw Myr, together with synergy from Blighted Agent + Cranial Plating , Inkmoth Nexus + Steel Overseer , and Cranial Plating + Inkmoth Nexus , this deck has an arsonal of quick game-ending attacks.

Right now, Blighted Agent is definitely the main wincon, with support wincons being Cranial Plating + Ornithopter , and, secondary infect options of Cranial Plating + Ichorclaw Myr / Cranial Plating + Inkmoth Nexus , etc., and of course there's the massive advantage of getting two Steel Overseer on the board, or equiping multiple Cranial Plating on pretty much anything (Etched Champion, Ichorclaw Myr, Ornithopter, etc.)

so here's your typical game:

=======================

opening hand:

1x Inkmoth Nexus

1x Blighted Agent

1x multi-color land or Mox Opal

1x colorless land (doesn't matter which, because a Springleaf Drum will most likely pop up at some point anyway)

1-2x 0-cost creatures

0-1x 2-cost creatures

1x Cranial Plating


Turn 1: dump your 0-cost creatures and Inkmoth Nexus

Turn 2: land and a Blighted Agent & attack with 0-cost creatures

Turn 3: land and Cranial Plating; attach to Blighted Agent & attack for 3-4 infect damage

Turn 4: land and a 2-cost creature (if you have one); attach Cranial Plating to Inkmoth Nexus & attack for 5-7 flying, infect damage for a possible turn 4 win

Turn 5: Cranial Plating on either Blighted Agent or Inkmoth Nexus again finishing the game if it's not ended on Turn 4


this deck is a lot of fun to play, and, as shown, it secures the win as early as Turn 4/5, but will most likely end it somewhere around 6 to 8 turns (i.e., if you're not lucky enough to draw a land for Turn 4..)

This deck, like most Affinity builds, has the rare occurrence of getting a turn2 or turn3 win with the perfect opening hand.
