Tetsuko And Her Sneaky Squad

Commander / EDH Aggro Budget Infect Mono-Blue

Zyterix


Wanna annoy your playgroup on the cheap and still potentially win games? Sad about how much Blightsteel Colossus costs but still want to infect people? Then this deck is for you! Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive makes any of your creatures with a 1/x or x/1 stat line unblockable, where X is anything else because we care about the power or toughness being 1. What can we do with this exactly?

First, let's take a look at the most important part of this deck: our infect and poison counter synergy. Blighted Agent, Contagion Clasp / Contagion Engine, Corrupted Conscience, Decimator Web, Ichorclaw Myr, Inkmoth Nexus, Necropede, Phyrexian Digester, Serpent Generator, Skyship Plunderer, Steady Progress, Thrummingbird, and Viral Drake make up our poison spreading package. With these cards, we aim to take out our opponents with infect and adding more counters on top of people already infected.

But the problem is that these creatures are often only doing small bits of damage each hit, and as such don't add many poison counters. That's where some of our other cards come in to increase the speed at which we - {cough cough} - Spread the Sickness. We use Fireshrieker, Loxodon Warhammer, Ogre's Cleaver, and the ever-so-powerful family heirloom (flavour win!) Umezawa's Jitte to increase the power of our infecting creatures, and besides Jitte won't prevent many of them from being granted unblockable from Tetsuko.

So what else can we do besides infect? Value. Most of our creatures are low power but have an extra effect every time they hit a player. You have Salvage Drone, Riptide Pilferer, Scalpelexis, and the amazing Raven Guild Master to Thanos Snap your opponents deck away. You can also use Scytheclaw to melt away life totals, Neurok Commando and Looter il-Kor to draw cards on combat damage, and lastly Coastal Piracy, Bident of Thassa and Mask of Memory to draw a crap-ton of cards on combat damage.

Since we're all sneaky around these parts, why not add some thievery? Soul Seizer   and the spells Knowledge Exploitation and Stolen Identity all give us the ability to take toys we like from our opponents and use them ourselves. We can also generate some mad card advantage with EDH staple Rhystic Study - the sheer card draw we can generate from it is no joke.

That's about it. This is easily the most aggressive blue deck I've made as far as I can tell, so surprise your opponents with the infect shenanigans!
