Blue/Green super-budget Pauper Infect. The idea is to win really early with just a couple creatures with support from "can't be blocked" effects, pump spells and protection. The maybeboard are other cards that would go very well with this deck, but are either a bit more expensive or not common.

-Glistener Elf can come out on the first turn and has infect. Standard for a fast infect deck.

-Blighted Agent 2-drop already packed with avoidance so allows one to prioritize making their green creatures unblockable.

-Viridian Betrayers not the best overall, but with enough avoidance effects and protection, the low toughness for mana cost shouldn't be an issue. It's hella cheap ($) and with 3 power, it's intended to just come out turn 3 or 4 to help land a finishing blow. This guy with any one of the pump spells in this deck (other than Giant Growth) will deal 10 poison damage in two attacks if unanswered to allow for a very likely win by turn 5 unless your opponent is able to shut everything down

-Apostle's Blessing's usefulness here is twofold, offering protection against removal and in situations where one's opponent's creatures all share a color, it gives yet another avoidance option or allows your creatures to survive

Some nice things that this deck can do:

-Turn 3 victory with Glistener Elf on the first turn, Prey's Vengeance and Aqueous Form turn 2 and attack for 3, Larger Than Life turn 3 also rebounding Prey's Vengeance, swing for 7, GG. This would only require an island and a forest to pull off. Would be better with Apostle's Blessing or Turn Aside instead of Aqueous Form if your opponent doesn't have blockers.

-Turn 4 victory should also be very easy to pull off with three turns of dealing infect damage. Beyond this, the deck should be able to maintain some level of competitiveness for a couple turns at least as it should be able to still deal damage with avoidance effects and sometimes protect creatures. Apostle's Blessing with Viridian Betrayers could be a great blocker combo on your opponent's turn after Betrayers comes out, but usually this deck just will want to be attacking as much as possible.
