Hello! I just played in the modern classic in Worcester and I think my sideboard needs major help. Some cards I think I should add are Invisible Stalker's and Wild Defiance or any other card you may recommend. You can also check the main board, but it not that much of a priority and please do not coment on the mana base, I have yet to update it. If you want to recommemd a card please tell me what to take out.
BodhiQL Thank you so much for your help! One more question though, what do you think about invisible stalker and wild defiance in the sideboard?

Invisible Stalker depends a lot on your meta. I would only play it against decks that have a lot of removal and deal a lot of damage to themselves, such as Jund or Grixis Death's Shadow. Wild Defiance is good but I think Shapers' Sanctuary is better, personally.

BodhiQL, I did some things to my deck, but I'm missing one card and it seems incorrect. Could you please give me some final advice on my deck?

I would add a second of either Become Immense, Spell Pierce, or Distortion Strike depending on your meta. Become Immense is probably better in general, however if you have an abundance of creature heavy decks I would add the Distortion Strike. If there are a lot of control-type decks or decks that require noncreatures such as Scapeshift or Through the Breach I would add the Spell Pierce.

Hey there. I know you said not to comment on the mana base but honestly it looks pretty alright. The only three changes I would make are to switch the Island for a second Forest. Green is more important and prominent in the deck so having a land that can only be blue kinda sucks. The second and third changes are to take out the Flooded Strand and some other land, probably a Botanical Sanctum. Infect plays all low cmc cards so 19 lands is optimal. I would cut Flooded Strand because you only want to play fetches that can get green. Anyway sorry for the mana base rant I know you said not to. In the rest of the mainboard everything seems good. If you take out 2 lands, I would add 2 Become Immense or a Become Immense and a Spell Pierce. Other than that everything is good. In the sideboard I would replace the Fracturing Gust and Damping Sphere. Fracturing Gust is far to expensive. It can only be played on like turn 4-5 with a Noble Hierarch and that requires tapping out. Its just too much mana. Damping Sphere does more harm than good. You're usually gonna win against Tron so the first ability is useless and Grafdigger's Cage is better against Storm because it doesn't harm you. I would replace these two with a Spell Pierce and a Nissa, Voice of Zendikar. Nissa is great against edict effects like Liliana of the Veil and aggro decks like Humans where you can just get a free blocker every turn. Anyway, other than those the deck seems solid. I currently play a Sultai Infect deck, which I will link below. Best of luck to you and your Phyrexian endeavors!
