Admittedly GREEDY attempt at using Jeskai Ascendency as an insane value card in a Modern Infect deck. It's still explosive, with possible T3 wins, yet better suited for an attrition war with the probable resurgence of Jund post bannings. It may be terrible in practice, but its certainty worth exploring. Inkmoths love to be untapped too.

The beauty for me is that you don't need Ascendency to win like the combo decks, so it's actually great if they waste resources on it. Also, winning with regular damage is very real.

The Become Immenses and Snapcasters are for taking advantage of the looting and using wasted mana. I really want a Sylvan Scrying, but the list is pretty tight. I'm on the fence about the Flesh/Blood, but it can really help win through endless spirit tokens.

Please be constructive with support for any suggestions offered.
