The blight has spread to Theros.

Forty life, shmorty life. This deck is meant to piss off all your friends with infect. Sounds fun right? ......right?

If you think about it, this is pretty close to your normal Xenagos commander deck. The only real difference is instead of gigantic dudes one-hitting opponents (ie:Malignus), it's just tiny infected dudes one-hitting opponents.

As soon as my opponents realize what this deck does the game immediately turns into everyone vs me.

Heavy Hitters

If Xenagos, God of Revels is on the battlefield these creatures are lethal with no additional buff.

Become Immense and Mage Slayer makes any of these creature lethal without Xenagos.

• Phyrexian Hydra
• Phyrexian Juggernaut
• Putrefax

Use Chandra's Ignition to nuke the table with your beefed up bro or Soul's Fire to take out one player.

Keep in mind every creature in this deck is a threat and can kill a player in one hit with a pump spell and Xenagos.

Evasion

These are the cards that help get the damage delivered directly to my opponents face.

• Chitinous Cloak
• Glaring Spotlight
• Gruul War Chant
• Mage Slayer
• Nim Deathmantle
• Rogue's Passage
• Surestrike Trident

Protection

These keep my infected dude-bros on the battlefield.

• Asceticism
• City of Solitude
• Domri Rade: Ultimate
• Glaring Spotlight
• Nim Deathmantle
• Price of Glory
• Reincarnation
• Vines of Vastwood
• Wild Defiance

• Wild Ricochet

Pump

Game Enders

Become Immense: Kills in one hit on all three of the heavy hitters and Phyrexian Swarmlord.

Kessig Wolf Run: Pump until lethal.

Vines of Vastwood: Kills in one hit with Phyrexian Hydra. If Xenagos is on the battlefield, every creature in the deck can be lethal.

Constant Buffs

• Cathedral of War
• Chitinous Cloak
• Gruul War Chant
• Livewire Lash
• Madcap Skills
• Nim Deathmantle

Other

• Centaur Garden
• Garruk Wildspeaker
• Skarrg, the Rage Pits
• Wild Defiance

Extra Combat Phases

There is one infinite combo in this deck just in case the game goes for too long. To be as fair as possible there is no way to tutor for any of the combo pieces. Aggravated Assault + Nature's Will gives me infinite combat phases.

Other cards to give me additional combat phases include:

• Savage Beating
• Seize the Day
• World at War

Super Secret Tech

Most people forget that when a creature with Infect and First Strike deals damage the -1/-1 counters are placed on the defending creature before it deals combat damage to the creature with First Strike. Razor Swine and Surestrike Trident will almost always catch my opponents off-guard.

Centaur Garden is another thing they rarely see coming and since it's an activated ability it's much harder to counter.
