Description

My personal infect deck. Only need 1 Inkmoth Nexus and 2 Skithiryx to round off the deck.

Go for the ThroatMTG Card: Go for the Throat: For 1B, you have TerminateMTG Card: Terminate all over again. Need more explanation?

GroundswellMTG Card: Groundswell: The premium finisher for this deck. This card pumps and pumps extremely well. I'd be insane not to put this card in. I remember I actually considered Mirran MettleMTG Card: Mirran Mettle for this deck.

Hand of the PraetorsMTG Card: Hand of the Praetors: Recently I subbed these out for the Phyrexian VatmotherMTG Card: Phyrexian Vatmothers. These do their job very well, but they have become more fragile.

Ichorclaw MyrMTG Card: Ichorclaw Myr: Check out GroundswellMTG Card: Groundswell. This ties with Plague StingerMTG Card: Plague Stinger for the best Infect Creature In Standard. This has actually won me more games than Plague StingerMTG Card: Plague Stinger.

Infiltration LensMTG Card: Infiltration Lens: One of the main problems with aggro decks is card advantage. This changes everything, which really helps.

Inkmoth NexusMTG Card: Inkmoth Nexus: Instant 4 in an infect deck.

Livewire LashMTG Card: Livewire Lash: Sure, expensive, but pump and reach at the same time? Priceless.

NecropedeMTG Card: Necropede: A great card. This clears blockers with it's -1/-1 counter it leaves and it's very efficient.

Phyrexian CrusaderMTG Card: Phyrexian Crusader: Why did they print Go for the ThroatMTG Card: Go for the Throat? This card. It has protection from the removal colors and consistently strikes above it's weight.

Plague MyrMTG Card: Plague Myr Ramps n' provides a body to stick on pump spells. I've been impressed more often than not.

Plague StingerMTG Card: Plague Stinger: Ties with Ichorclaw MyrMTG Card: Ichorclaw Myr for best infect in standard. You can overload this with pump and your opponent just dies.

Prey's VengeanceMTG Card: Prey's Vengeance: Rebound is extremely useful. Miniscule pump, but rebound solves that problem.

Vines of VastwoodMTG Card: Vines of Vastwood: I like this card. This is one of the best pump in standard. Only problem? GG really messes this up.

Virulent SwipeMTG Card: Virulent Swipe: Sometimes you just have a Wall of DenialMTG Card: Wall of Denial, Wall of TanglecordMTG Card: Wall of Tanglecord, or Wall of WoodMTG Card: Wall of Wood in front of you. This solves everything.

You're running a lot of what I started with and let me give you some ideas from my limited knowledge and experience. I can't see your acquireboard, so I'm just gonna throw out what I can think of for now.

My smaller creatures got removed so fast I didn't really have time to infect anything and if I waited for any combo it seemed too late, because they would have some other sort of removal ready.

So, I put some corpse cur in my deck because that is something I had to get my creatures back, but it is a little high on mana cost.

Something I did think of though while talking to someone was running mimic vat. You can either bring something back to block on their turn, which I've seen it used the most as. Throw a virulent swipe on that to kill off whatever threat they have and gg?

What about canopy cover over bladed pinions for your sideboard? Also what about memoricide for your sideboard? If they relying on just one way to kill you, this could give you a huge edge.

I guess you could throw contagion clasp in your sideboard for a proliferate...not so expensive to play and gets rid of pesky 1/1's but 4 mana for prolif it's like eww to me.

I'm also assuming if you're getting rid of putrefax you're going for skithiryx and once you get to that it's gg.

This is my acquireboard..

I will answer your suggestions.

First of all, on your Corpse Curs. They do have a very steep mana cost, so I am reluctant to put them in. I would want to draw a HotP over these. For protection I have the Vines of Vastwood and I am also considering Blight Mamba over Ichor Rats.

Mimic Vat is a idea in progress... Many people have said about the joys of Putrefax + Mimic Vat, but I feel that it is a bit slow.

My sideboard is nothing. Canopy Cover may be an alternative to Whispersilk Cloak... Good ideas! However it is a bit too defensive, which is so-so for the mainboard but juicy for the sideboard. I'll add that to the acquire list.

I dislike Contagion Clasp in all non-control infect decks. It is too slow for what it does.

Yup, your right. Skittles does have a steep price cost, however, in both in mana and in cash.

Sorry about rejecting most of your ideas. I am very picky about infect. :D

Hey, I have an infect deck, and I was wondering if you could help me out. It's called Mono Green Infect Ramp, and I was kinda hoping you could tell me more about my rebirth deck.

I like Black Sun's ZenithMTG Card: Black Sun's Zenith a lot, but the problem is that just a 3-or 4 mana activation of it could kill most or all of my infect creatures. Come to think of it, this really makes me think about adding Consuming VaporsMTG Card: Consuming Vapors to this deck...
