This deck is all about fast poison or mid speed pump victory.
You want your starting hand to have either Phyresis or Tainted Strike ideally, but it's your call because you can get by on pump cards.
Turn 1: Swamp or Forest. Hopefully get out Tormented Soul or Skarrgan Pit-Skulk.
Turn 2: Swamp, Forest, or Hybrid land. Play a creature if you can, Dauthi Slayer, Wandering Wolf, and if you played Tormented Soul Turn one swing and bring in Skarrgan Pit-Skulk for that sweet sweet bloodthirst counter. Or, Phyresis to spur your one mana champion to victory.
Turn 3: Land. Pump: Slaughterhorn (bloodrush), Giant Growth, Phytoburst, Groundswell, maybe Tainted Strike if you have no Phyresis.
Turn 4: Land. Pump. Ideally win from infect.
Turn 5: Land. Pump. Ideally win from pumped pummelling.
Turn 6-53: Lather, rinse, repeat until your opponents tainted or battered corpse hits the floor.
I think this deck is alright.
I dunno. I'm newish to competitive playing.
I mean, I never go to tournaments or Friday Night Magic to find out because everybody knows way more than I do and I feel like a dick asking what their cards do every turn.
I guess what I mean to say is that this deck does well amongst my circle of friends.
