Ideas and Thoughts on a Modern U/G infect

Deck Help forum

Posted on March 18, 2013, 3:18 p.m. by nazgulth

This deck is my newest project since my Valakut deck and my artifact aggro deck. The description on the site kinda says most of it, but its just a very early game push to get 10 or more unblockable infect on the field and put the game away.

Anyone with ideas / thoughts of how to make it more consistently hit on 3rd turn (Which it can do, but rarely) or make it so it stays below 6 turns (it sometimes gets to 6th turn) it'd be appreciated.

The deck is Elusive Blight here.

With running blue you would be suited doing two things...

  1. running some amount of control.
  2. running Livewire Lash to help with those instant/sorcery pumps.

Without some control infect does not run consistent. It just wins big occasionally.

What control do you recommend for this? I rarely play control, and I've never had a good experience with it.

Mana Leak Unsummon Simic Charm that sort of stuff.

give you some flexibility in your build to get stuff out of your way, and keep it off the board.

my infect deck that I play is not the same as this, but it still functions with some elements of control built in to control the board so my baddies can get through with greater ease.

check Parody of Parity for reference. it's mono-white but you can see what i mean.

@theemptyquiver Thanks for the insight. I think I'll add 2 charms instead of Titanic Growths because its only one less on the buff for the possibility of more utility, and I'll put some thought into Unsummon.

@Sidneyious Thanks for that link, I found those forums quite helpful

I will say this, be careful what you say and where you say it. The most tiny thing could get you suspended. They are rules Nazis.

I mostly just read a bunch of info that was already there, so unless I'm reading in a wrong way... Haha. Thanks for the heads up though
