Major Changes.. —Sept. 28, 2014
Now with 30% more Control!!!
This deck has continually evolved more & more into a Control deck; and now here we have it...
I have since dumped the 'cheap evasive weenies' (Plague Stinger& Blighted Agent), as well their intended pump-enchantments (Predator's Gambit& Deviant Glee); in favor of a much more controlling approach.. Although this removes the potential T-4 win, it more importantly takes away all of the frustrating 2-for-1's and even 3-for-1's that a (Creature/Enchantment) Win-con was subject to..

@CanadianSamurai.. Yeah, nobody else in my group of friends mess with Infect, and I wanted to stay away from the extra-cheesy Green-pump method; Sure it works--but is no fun at all for either player. Plus I wanted something that would still work against decks with 1-drop creatures themselves (ie RDW, et al..)
Also, I have a playset of Godless Shrine in there (and I've been considering replacing a Drowned Catacomb with a Isolated Chapel ) for White mana. And although Annul seems like a pretty decent idea, I just decided to include White as my "sideboard color' as sort of a 'catch-all' against things that Grixis colors tend to fall short on (Artifact, Enchantment, & Graveyard hate)..
Oh, and is there anything in particular that would (NOT) like to see sided against control decks like yours?:)

Would add more Livewire Lash . It may seem only okay at first, but it leaves your opponent the option to either use their spot removal on a strong beater or take 2 straight to the face and watch you re-equip another creature. It's powerful. It also can remove creatures if necessary

Nice build, +1 of course :) I really like original and different builds, specially on infect decks. Tested it and love the enchantments.
I also have a deck with a different approach to infect: Rakdos Infection. Comment if you like, I'm looking for suggestions to improve it.

I usually hate Infect decks. Mainly because it's B/G (green is my enemy) and I have this nasty curse of losing on turn 2 against them. However, I like that you decided to go with blue. Though you'll have to explain Revoke Existence in the sideboard. I don't see any white land for that to ever work. Maybe Annul would be better?
