An infect deck that wants to kill all. The name refers to that most excellent movie Megamind, where Megamind (voiced by Will Ferrell) is surrounded by little Myr-like creatures. And 'Diseased' refers to all the Infect in this deck. And Wither. And the overall sickness of what Mikaeus does...

** Neat Moves

{B} ** Mikaeus The Abusive **

There are so many way to abuse Mikaeus, here are a few:
Burnished Hart - get two uses of her ability, sometimes many more
Dusk Urchins - a card draw engine with Mikaeus, you WANT to be attacked
Gray Merchant of Asphodel - playing him twice in a turn is sick
Grim Poppet - grant Undying again to your own creatures, or wipe the board
Tatterkite - and any of your sac outlets, Vampiric Rites is the best

{B} ** Die, and Undie Again

Remove counters from creatures that have recurred from Undying with:
Carnifex Demon , Grim Poppet , Harbinger of Night , Hex Parasite , Midnight Banshee & Retribution of the Ancients

{B} ** Mana Machine **

Ramp into the atmosphere with these cards:
Crypt Ghast , Caged Sun , Sword of the Animist , Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx , Nirkana Revenant , Magus of the Coffers , Cabal Coffers

{B} ** Winning with Mikaeus **

There are 3 main strategies for Mikaeus;
Generate enough mana to go lethal with Torment of Hailfire or Exsanguinate, use Boseiju...
Kill everyone with Infect.
The Triskelion combo.

** Possible Upgrades **
