If I cast Tainted Strike on Perilous Myr then the myr dies does it's triggered abililty deal infect damage?

Tainted Strike + Perilous Myr . Does Perilous Myr 's trigger cause infect damage?
When perilous myr hits the graveyard, from battlefield, does it still have infect from tainted strike?
This is correct. It's a similar case to activating a Mogg Fanatic equipped with Basilisk Collar . The game uses the last known information about the source to determine any effects of it's abilities, so as long as your Myr had infect when it was sent to the graveyard, the damage will be dealt as poison or -1/-1 counters (unless you target a planeswalker, of course =P)

I'm not sure if my answer was sufficient. Let me ask this. If I use Dead Reckoning on my Perilous Myr , now in the graveyard, will it still do infect damage to target creature?
In other words, does the infect applied from Tainted Strike stay on the creature even after it enters graveyard?

No, if Dead Reckoning is dealing the damage, Dark Reckoning does not have infect, therefore it deals normal damage. It has to be the creature dealing the damage, and I don't think instant and sorceries carry over after the creatures go into the yard anyhow, but I am not familiar with those rules.

Definitely not, since in this case Dead Reckoning does the damage, rather than Perilous Myr. In the case of a card that states the CREATURE deals the damage, I still believe the answer is no. The state of a creature is reset when it leaves the battlefield, so all counters on it are removed, equipment is unequipped, aurasenchanting it are removed from the battlefield and any other effects active on it end.

Ah Dead Reckoning was a bad example, didn't read it carefully enough. You guys got my point anyways. Thanks for the explanations.

Yes, It will deal 2 poision counters because it has the ability of infect until end of turn, and Perilous Myr is doing the damage while it has infect.
