SevynnthDimension - hey man yeah those are great cards. I've looked at them also. Transmute Artifact could be pretty awesome. Imperial Seal is amazeballs, but holy shit batman! $1039.54 on tcgmid :D

I looked at the prices after I posted, :P sorry. But I was just looking at some cards on the gatherer and thought they were just damn great so I threw those few at ya to see what you thought. Btw I like this deck so much I'm building it myself :D can't wait

hah yea man. i use an app called Decked Builder - great for researching cards. thanks for all of the suggestions and feedback. its a fun deck - my friends hate it. well, actually they stopped playing EDH with me haha...

i still need about 300$ worth of cards for it... and then the three old school dual lands :( lol

Oh cool perhaps I'll check out that app. And hey, np I'm happy to be apart of this and help out. I haven't even built it yet and my friends are already afraid haha!

And yeah I only recently started to build it so I'm slowly getting there, I need bout $500 to finish mine. The dual lands are gonna be a bit tricky eh? I want to see what the lands are for the new set of Khans.

I do not have the same reputation in this website I use a very similar deck but I would recommend you to think about these 2 cards 1. Sun Quan, Lord of Wu2. Bident of ThassaI hope that you analyze my recommendation

darnerd - hey man don't worry about rep ;) its all good.

and those are great suggestions. especially Sun Quan, Lord of Wu! at first i was like.. huh? but then ya. thats sneaky as hell haha. what would you recommend switching out for him? my first thought was maybe replacing Thassa, God of the Sea for him.

thanks again for the suggestions! much appreciated :)

I would not think in remove thassa Because at the end of the day or draw one or draw another , in my experience [ [ Maralen of the Mornsong ] ] is easier to remove because if your opponent already has half combo in hand goodbye to your advantageother creature that is not bad and your opponent grabbed hate is this [ [ Thalakos deceiver ] ]

How about Evil Twin

Had him in here for a while but eventually cut him for other cards. Do you see anything that would be better off being replaced by him?

Nice.You should take a look at Caress of Phyrexia, Inexorable Tide, Relic Putrescence and Decimator Web. There are also more cards proliferate out there.That would work well with this deck.+1

This deck just SCREAMS Grave Betrayal...and I also recommend Warstorm Surge, which makes more damage (double if you've got Gratuitous Violence on the field) to repeat the cycle of creature killing/stealing...also they stay on your side if they die thanks to Marchesa (at least I think that's how it works.)

Cool deck! add Cauldron of Souls since Dethrone/Undying and Persist go infinite so cards like Glen Elendra Archmage, Murderous Redcap, Puppeteer Clique, and River Kelpie would be amazing in here.

Might consider adding stuff like Warstorm Surge, Flayer of the Hatebound, and Stalking Vengeance.

I'm very new to playing Infect. But I used to play Marchesa. Great commander. Very versatile. That's why I thought I'd try out infect with her.

So what have you observed from the deck? Strengths? Weaknesses?

What could be improved? Thanks! :)

heya JustinWunderlich - thanks for the comment. this deck was fun but got hated out pretty quick. infect is extremely hard to play in edh. i honestly dont know why people complain about it so much. the infect player is at an automatic massive disadvantage.

anyways, I haven;t worked on this deck in a long time. after this one, i tried: Saskia is itchy and hateful. however right now what i have sleeved up is Saskia is itchy. its a lot more optimized and works pretty well.

Yeah it definitely looks like the second version of the deck is faster and more consistent. Maybe trying to do LD and infect was what slowed it down before?

I'm trying to complete a saskia build similar. Just tweaking the pump spells and such.
