This deck works by either bouncing Infect damage around with Saskia the Unyielding then using something like Overblaze or Insult / Injury then attack with a 2/2 which will then do 4 infect to one opponent bouncing to 8 on the player picked by Saskia, the Infectious. Strionic Resonator can make for some quite powerful attacks attack with a 2/2 and deal a total of 6 infect damage. one pump spell like Invigorate can make things really scary.

Another major theme in this deck to to make things unblock able favorites of mine are things like Trailblazer's Boots and Prowler's Helm . There are also a few ways to make something unblockable without saying it through things like protection with Spirit Mantle or indirect damage with Mage Slayer or Outmaneuver

Finally we are trying to do damage without attacking with things like Chandra's Ignition or Soul's Fire or Surestrike Trident just to get that damage in where we otherwise could not.

Lastly as with any infect deck we run lots of pump spells Invigorate being my favorite by favorite. This is fun mixed with Livewire Lash which can get two infect on a player or two -1/-1 counters on a troublesome creature. Personal shout out to the planes walker in this deck Arlinn Kord   I just really like it a lot. also this deck is easily turned budget if you take out the two swords in the deck and maybe even the top it drops to 60$.
