*Pease Note that this deck is still in its prototyping stage!*

Trying to build an alternate and hopefully more resilient infect deck (Fatal Push is just merciless towards most infect creatures and them Dispelling your counter to their Fatal Push just makes you want to scoop) around Livewire Lash, Spellskites, Phyrexian Crusaders, etc. Any tips/help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

P.S. The Ashiok is in the maybeboard only because I like her so much and would really like to build a deck with her in it :P

P.P.S

The combo with Livewire Lash and Spellskite (for those who may not know) would go like this:

1. Need 2 Spellskites and a Lash

2. Cast Tainted Strike on the Skite equipped with the Lash, Let it resolve (now your Skite has infect)

3. Cast another random 1 CMC card targeting the Skite with infect; in response, change the target to the other Skite (one without infect) in response change the target back to the previous Skite (with infect)

4. Repeat step 3 as long as you need to (don't kill your self) the Skite with the Lash will deal infect damage directly 2X times since it becomes a target X times as the stack resolves.

(If my understanding of this is wrong please let me know)
