LAST UPDATE: 04/04/2024

Throughout the years, most of my attempts to an infect fell short of my gameplay exepections. The quick cantrippy one shot attacks with small creatures never felt fun or interesting for me.Phyrexia All Is One diversify ''Infect'' gameplay by adding a lot of cards that add poison counters directly to opponents, thus allowing decks to be less reliant on combat damage and more on the proliferate mechanic. I figured it was about time to reconsider building an infect deck that I could enjoy. Enjoy !

DECK OBJECTIVES

1- Have the potentiel for 2 poison counters per opponent by end of T5

2- Cast Agent Frank Horrigan on T6 and be able to swing with him same turn

3- Using Agent Frank Horrigan's triggered ability and other prolifderate triggers to close the game rather than combat damage.

GOLDFISHING OBSERVATION

05/04/2024 Changed a few ramp options from Cultivate, Explosive Vegetation and card:1x Kodama's Reach (DMC) to 2 CMC options that puts untapped lands into play even though they don't fix as much (Forest instead of basic land). Getting proper colors don't seem to be an issue at this stage. Also, never was happy to draw a high-CMC creature and thus decided to cut Contaminant Grafter and Phyrexian Swarmlord that are good mid/late game (on paper) as those don't help my deck objectives listed above.

KPI DASHBOARD (15/04/2024)

N=30

1. Average Mulligans Required: 1,12
2. Earliest creature cast: 1,67
3. Turn Commander Cast: 6,30
4. Number of Hypothetical poison counter by T6: 23,30
5. Turn of Land Miss: 9,30
6. Turn of empty Hand: 8,67

PILOTING THE DECK

Ideally have a starting hand that comprises 3 lands (with both colors), 2 small infect/toxic creatures, a way to give a poison counter to every opponent and a ramp card. The objectives is to quickly give a poison counter to every opponent, then play defensively with proliferation mechanics to finishing opponents.
