(EDIT: I started this deck as BUG, but ended up cutting black for a more stable mana base to be able to run Inkmoth Nexus). Modern Infect deck for around $100. Common enough list, just my own take on it, with cards I can afford. This deck is definitely geared toward a T3 kill, possibly T4, T5 at the very latest. Must mulligan if there isn't a Glistener Elf, Blighted Agent, or Plague Stinger in the opening hand, along with a couple pump spells and the right mana (or a Birds). Ideally, it goes T1-Birds of Paradise; T2-Blighted Agent (save one mana & keep Vines of Vastwood in hand to save from removal); T3-Vines of Vastwood+kicker, 2x Might of Old Krosa, and as if that were not already lethal at 12 poison, I would pay 2 life per Mutagenic Growth in hand too lol. Even just Vines of Vastwood+kicker, 1x Giant Growth, & a Mutagenic Growth would be lethal damage on an unblockable (or simply flying) body, with Hexproof. Pretty fast, with some protection, lots of evasion, and redundancy to assure the right draw. Rancor is mostly for Glistener Elf. Phyrexian Crusader or Become Immense + Rancor is for if swing one isn't lethal. If swing one won't get to 10 poison, I will play Wild Defiance T3 if I can and not swing at all until T4, which will for sure be lethal.
