This is an attempt at -1/-1 counters and some proliferate I could scrounge up. Infect generally is met with too much aggro in my casual pods, so instead, I took a look at Infect Jr., aka Wither.

This deck will start with Mishra, Tamer of Mak Fawa but may transition to The Scorpion God once I acquire it. Mishra's first ability ward is pretty salty, but card draw from Scorpion God is more tempting.

I am spoiled by playing green decks and using their mana ramp spells, and not having them is annoying. Instead, I decided to pull out the mana rocks to substitute for the lack of mana ramp in red and black.

The -1/-1 counters shall be generously put onto the battlefield. Salt negative counters thoroughly on those indestructible pesky creatures.

Particular favorites I hope to see in play are:

• Blowfly Infestation, We will keep -1/-1 counters going with this on the field triggering all kinds of fun.
• Crumbling Ashes, Opponents will not like a single negative counter on any creature even my own, super exciting.
• Everlasting Torment, OH MAN, this is where the fun begins with all damage done as Wither -1/-1 counters.
• Kulrath Knight, How many creatures have counters going on them these days? Let's shut them down.
• Stigma Lasher, This one will be fun to tag opponents who try too much Lifelink.

I am still determining how viable this is going to be, but this is a salt tossing, creature-hating pile of rakdos garbage. If I can sandwich more cards in here that proliferate or put out -1/-1 counters, then let's go.

As stated previously, I tried not to get too much into Infect, but there are a few in the deck that exist. Oh well.

I used to play this as a 60-card deck before EDH was really anything. It didn't work all that well, but I was still pretty new then.
