Another Redesign —Dec. 3, 2014

Decided that since this deck had been, mono-green, G/B, and G/U, all at different times, I would try my hands at a Sultai (BUG) deck, and feel like it will be a fairly competitive deck against my local competition. Any suggestions are always welcome, thanks for taking a look and DFTBA.

Very cool, I also designed a G/U Infect deck, with a potentially faster endgame. Check it out for inspiration/ideas. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/vitiating/

Forgive me for sounding like a noob but im guessing G/U stands for Green/Unblockable?

Green and Blue actually. Because B is black. He recently switched the Black out for Blue and hasn't gotten around to switching the title over I would guess.

a good card to look at for the sideboard would be card:Autumn's Veil to help with targeted removal and control cards.

Giant Growth and Distortion Strike might help this deck a little more :)

resembles mine in a way, though I don't use the miracles. the Mutagenic Growth is exactly what I have been looking for to push my deck back to turn two wins in modern, however, since Invigorate isn't available.

I reccomend Groundswell due to being a little more powerful in the early game.I also reccomend Simic Charm over the Mizzium Skin as it can also give hexproof, with the added bonus of being both removal and a pump spell.

No Revenge of the Hunted as a 1,2-of? The miracle is blowout.

Vines of Vastwood for 2 Green you get +4 +4 hexproof

To speed your deck up you probably need more dual lands, like Breeding Pool and definitely Misty Rainforest to search for Breeding Pool or basic's.

Remand 's are also a nice counter spell.

I'm a bit confused. What's your intended turn to end them? I'm getting 5-6 consistently.

As another commenter suggested, Distortion Strike would be much better than Artful Dodge as it is basically costs half as much and gives creature +1/+0 Otherwise, very cool deck. I am a big fan of infect

@yungxak I have had this deck get wins on between turns 3 and 5 myself but it does take the right combination of cards in the opening hand and certain early draws.

those "certain early draws" is made a little more difficult to get due to the relatively high cost spells the deck seems to be relying on. Increasing Savagery mostly happens in the late game, and Blessings of Nature only gives about the same benefit as Groundswell in the end, and that is only if you catch its miracle cost, which is unlikely due to the number in the deck. if you want to rely on miracle cards, I suggest running Revenge of the Hunted alongside it to give a much higher potential of drawing one.

Wild Defiance can potentally hurt the deck speed, turning the deck away from a turn 3 win, even though it might save you from Lightning Bolt and the likein my opinion Phyrexian Hydra is better than the Blightwidow for the late game, which usually finishes off the opponent the next turn in my experience.

and yes, to be effective you need more two color lands. Your budget might not be able to afford it, but you still need them.

alternatively, you can simply cut your losses and just run 1 or 2 miracle cards. if you were to have 8 miracles instead of the 3 that are there now, it would have a higher chance of dead cards in your starting hand.
