Blighted Agent is a fun way to infect opponents
Caress of Phyrexia is kinda mana-costly. It's also a modal card that either draws you three cards or gives an opponent 3 poison counters.
Corrupted Conscience is also fun.
Grafted Exoskeleton is another infect enabler
Phyresis is another infect enabler.

Nice job, have you ever tried Blighted Agent? It being unblockable makes it a pretty reliable way to get counters on people.

I really appreciate the simplicity of this build, and it's efficacy. Plus one from me! Elusive Otter loves what you're doing here, but isn't invited to the table. If I'm not mistaken, I think that Blighted Agent and Thrummingbird are also capable? It's been awhile since I've harped over commons. Sometimes the best decks are the simplest, and this feels like RDW can GTFO. great build, sir.

Opening hand was amazing. Mana Crypt, Gemstone Mine, Reflecting Pool, Blighted Agent, Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, Prologue to Phyresis, and Imperial Seal. First draw was Thrummingbird, then Sword of Truth and Justice, then Imperial Seal for Command Tower,then Counter spell. I couldn't ask for a better set-up

Blighted Agent + a big mutant is damn near a one shot kill (i like Archipelagore but Brokkos works)
Dreamtail Heron is good just to give something flying and all your smaller infect creatures would get a power boost as well.

Joneleth Irenicus - Dimir Donate

Tainted Strike would make a single hit from a Rotting Regisaur with 2 counters an instant kill shot. Or on the Lord of the Pit, Desecration Elemental or anybody the Blighted Agent has been working on. Really fun to cast that on an opponents creature to take out another opponent by surprise.
You might need more protection for your boss. I would be very tempted to just wait until you cast something horrible and then remove Irenicus with an instant.

The balancing issues people are referring to are in regards to non-edh formats. infect in edh only really comes up with triumph. but in other formats Glistener Elf and Blighted Agent are the back bone of infect as the only half decent cards with infect. but even as simple as those cards are they are decks that can run away with Turn 2 or 3 kills because they can drop an elf turn 1 then swing turn 2 with something like Scale Up and Might of Old Krosa or any other combination of cards. In a way infect is sort of like doublestrike to players and wither to creatures. both really strong effects, but its hard to put powerful effects like that on a large number of cards without having to make most of those expensive or bland. and if they misbalance even 1 or 2 they are likely going to see those cards run away with the 60 card formats of all kinds. the other problem for the design of infect was that you could only play an infect card if you were going to play an infect deck. infect only deals poison damage to players, not regular damage. so if your deck was mainly regulars you'd never hope to kill with infect (Arcbound Ravager into Inkmoth Nexus not withstanding)) and if you were a majority infect deck, your non infects would have to be relegated to entirely support based roles as their damage on their own couldn't take out an opponent. There are a couple other minor reasons they wouldn't do it but i think the above ones are the main factors.
