Venum,

I think that the Sword of Truth and Justice is the better add over Vraska's Fall, and if you don't mind i'd like to walk through my logic on this and get your opinion. Hope you don't mind. Vraska's Fall has the big benefit of getting poison counters on players - but the edict effect becomes less beneficial as the game continues and It costs more than other similar spells (e.g. Infectious Bite and Prologue to Phyresis. The Sword of Truth and Justice requires more set up - it requires a creature on board and an extra for the equip cost. The payoff however can be significant at any point of the game. It further enhances Infect creatures but more importantly provides an additional source of +1/+1 counters. Without the sword only 2 cards in the deck can create +1/+1 counters.

On the subject of +1/+1 counters, should I try and find a spot for Ozolith, the Shattered Spire? It only has partial synergy with the deck, being only dedicated to +1/+1 counters, but it can make infect creatures lethal. What do you think?

I do have some ideas in mind when it comes to closing out a game with Poison counters. But you don't have to make it through a couple times - all it takes is once and it's the beginning of the end. Some traditional combo pieces would be:

And other spells of that ilk. Another synergy are +1/+1 counters. Forgotten Ancient, Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, Ozolith, the Shattered Spire and The Ozolith are real powerhouses if you wish to go that route. This synergy does telegraph your moves more and you'd be less explosive.

But what to do when the table goes against you? I recommend stax. Tying up the resources of the table, forcing slower and less impactful turns on your opponents while the clock continues ticking. Cards like Astral Cornucopia and Everflowing Chalice help break parity as you will likely have access to more mana than your opponents while they're being held back. Some oldies but goldies would be:

  • Winter Orb
  • Static Orb
  • Ensnaring Bridge (This has good synergy well with the aforementioned pump spells as you can still attack with low power infect creatures)
  • Tangle Wire (A personal Fave as you can proliferate these counters)
  • Parallax Wave (A personal Fave as you can proliferate these counters)
  • Parallax Tide (A personal Fave as you can proliferate these counters)

Playing pretty much any of these cards will likely earn you some ire - but the idea is to only play these when you have poison counters on your opponents and you can reliably proliferate them at least once or twice a turn. The idea is that you've already got your opponents where you want them, all you'd need to do is simply wait while the Poison counters end them.

Nice I love the Legend of Drizzt novels. I'm not seeing Doubling Season or Ozolith, the Shattered Spire in this list, have you considered those? Pretty staple in counter heavy decks. Doubling Season is a bit pricey, but there are proxies out there for a few bucks.

I'm a fan tho, good work. I didn't even realize they added Drizzt cards to mtg

Craeter, Great suggestions! Thanks.

I do already have Hardened Scales and Primal Vigor in the deck.

I have Fertilid and considered it for this deck but didn't put it in the Maybe list. I'll add it now and may swap it in. Very useful.

Ozolith, the Shattered Spire and Branching Evolution are exactly the kind of cards I'd like to have more of in the deck.

Heroic Intervention is terrific protection, and I have my eye out for some.

Doubling Season is nutso good and, as you say, super expensive. I've not done proxying and mainly just play kitchen table games, but . . . Yeah. Wow.

Hooded Hydra is great. I don't think I have any, but I'm going to go digging to make sure.

Tribute to the World Tree, Forgotten Ancient, Devoted Druid - You've given me a lot to think about and look for. :-)

This is pretty good for cards you just happen to have! If you're looking to upgrade in the future here are some suggestions: Tribute to the World Tree, Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, Heroic Intervention, Hooded Hydra, Forgotten Ancient, Fertilid, Devoted Druid, Ozolith, the Shattered Spire, Primal Vigor, then there's the staple stupid expensive Doubling Season - I'd recommend just proxying it for a few bucks.

I think there are some better options out there for getting +1/+1 counters on creatures. One fairly recent card, Ozolith, the Shattered Spire I think you should consider in place of the Falconeer- it's lower to the ground, harder to remove, and provides a strong static effect that synergizes well with your +1/+1 counter theme.
