I like this deck, seems very fun. I'd say that if you're shooting for fast wins, Primeval Bounty , Into the Wilds , and Primal Surge don't belong here. They'll just clog up the draw. However, 3x Rancor and +2x Ethereal Armor would fit. Take that same description from above, switch the first two lands played, and you can be swinging for game by turn three, with the right hands.

ItchiUchiha117 I totally forgot about Rancor . Thanks for the advice. Do you know of any hexproof enchantments that might help against removal?

Yeah,ItchiUchiha117 has a good point. Rancor would do a better job than those things. Swap Holy Mantle for Spirit Mantle for speediness.

If this deck isn't a hyper aggressive deck looking to win on Turn 2/3 (considering all the Auras, I suspect not), you could get away with a 1 of of a higher-end Infect creature. Phyrexian Hydra , Putrefax and Phyrexian Swarmlord all offer some later game options, though Putrefax doesn't synergize with your Auras. These will be more effective than Primeval Bounty and company.

If you are running this many enchantments, you might want to look at Sphere of Safety . One or two in this deck would be sick.

I actually suggest removing the infect creatures for creatures that do things with auras. Most infect decks run instant pumps for the quick win. For example most mono-green or R/G infect decks can win by turn 2 in the best conditions. Here is a sample of a deck like that, Blood Infection.

For cards that do things with auras, here is what you could run. Evershrike , Kor Spiritdancer and Uril, the Miststalker .

Other cards that I suggest are: Retether , Daybreak Coronet , Mesa Enchantress , Verduran Enchantress and Sigil of the Empty Throne .

I also consider having you go Selesnya instead of Naya, red does not have very good aura's when compared to G and W.

If your going infect, these cards can help your problems against the various forms of control.

I suggest running Greater Auramancy . You can put this down once your infect creatures are buffed to a great enough extent so they can prevent mono-red and other creature control decks. Grand Abolisher is good against U or U/W control and is really hard to get rid of once it is enchanted with Greater Auramancy on the field.

I also really consider running Leyline of Sanctity , because with the limited number of creatures you have, a discard deck or a mill deck could really destroy you.
