Life-loss good stuff and some life-gain, fetchlands, and life-ping lands to use Willowdusk just like Grevin.

And what better way to utilize a ton of +1/+1 counters in a turn than throwing them on infect creatures?!

This deck can go off fast but you'll have to accept that you're not going late game with this deck. As soon as your opponents see you with a 10/10 infect creature on turn 3-5 you become enemy number one and you might not draw into the life-gain cards to offset their hate (8 life-gain cards excluding K'rrik).

UPDATE 2/20/2022: I decided to take the deck apart. I have a Skithiryx deck that I main and having two high powered infect was just too much. This deck can be pretty fast but way top heavy due to the life lost. Any pods without removal get wrecked but any that do and this can't recover. Ultimately I just thought it was too un-fun for people to play against.
