Help with an infect deck.

The type of infect deck I have built so far uses low cost/weak creatures that have infect such as Blight Mamba Blighted Agent and Glistener Elf and swing with them, almost luring my opponent into a false sense of security before throwing down fast and cheap instant spells that super buff my creature right before it deals poison counters to my opponent, such as Groundswell Invigorate Mutagenic Growth Berserk and Vines of Vastwood . THis deck requires a very fast one turn win if not an extremely reliable second turn win. One of the problems I have is that Berserk is too expensive of a card for me (money wise) to buy, so I'm looking for a possible replacement for this deck. As you have probably guessed it would need to be either a green or blue instant card that is super cheap to bring out. Also, since this deck relies usually on only one creature to make the win and that these instant cards really don't account for trample, any one of my super buffed creatures could easily be chump blocked. I'm not really looking for trample as an effect, more of I'd rather have momentary unblockability, preferably at instant speed but as long as its as cheap as possible I'd be fine. I use to mitigate this by putting Whispersilk Cloak in, but this deck isn't really meant to last long enough to bring it out, usually suppose to pull off a second to possibly forth round instant win. What might your suggestions be?
Distortion Strike is also a solid option, and Infiltrate is a little worse but instant speed

Distortion Strike works amazingly well for this deck! Thank you!

Also Whispersilk Cloak is a terrible card for Turbo infect. Shroud means that you can't target your creature with your pump spells.

Well for the momentary unblockability, Artful Dodge is probably the card you are looking for.
