Need Help Vs. Infect

Deck Help forum

Posted on May 3, 2013, 3:07 p.m. by Bauhom

Hi there, I'm fairly new to Modern. I ran into a fast infect deck last night and now I'm wondering what I can sideboard against such a deck. I'm running Mono-Black. Here's my deck: Curtain of Darkness

Thanks for your help!

The best way to stop infect is to prevent damage, In mono-black, Darkness is the best card to prevent infect to you as a player. There are some black creatures you can use to block like Uncle Istvan

It might be worth splashing green for Melira, Sylvok Outcast she is one of the best anti-infect cards.

Well, Damnation to get rid of their creatures, and Duress to get rid of their pump spells?

Spellskite in your SB, it will solve many problems for you against many different decks.

Spellskite is the way to go plus. Disfigure

Thanks, everyone. He won on turn four in the two games he won. He had the land that becomes a 1/1 flier and then he pumped it a bunch to go something like +8 with one swing. I made a play mistake, but ... yeah. Spellskite and Duress and Darkness look like good plays.
