Volrath, the Shapestealer infect/proliferate deck. The game plan for this deck is to get a poison counter on all of your opponents as quickly as possible, proliferate, and swing in with infect creatures for the win.

Meanwhile you can control the battlefield using Volrath's -1/-1 counter ability paired with proliferate effects or cards like Crumbling Ashes or Willbreaker. Speed up the production of those poison counters using Volrath's ability to copy your infect creature's abilities and swing in with a 7/5 infector. Cards like Aqueous Form and Aether Tunnel are included to help your infect creatures connect unscathed.
