My hidden player trait is I like to steal from my opponent and use their own deck against them. I'm not sure why, but almost every deck I make has some way to put opponents cards under my control

Said on Has Toxic fixed …...

#1

I've had a major issue with infect ever since it came out. It's one of the playstyle I affectionately refer to as Simpleton Playstyle. It didn't take intelligence to use, all you needed to do was have an infection source and a way to pump it and that's game. It doesn't take much brainpower to do. I hold infect decks in the same regard as eldrazi titan decks: anyone who plays them is not a fun person to play with/be around, and all they want is the simplest ways to do things.

Infect was clunky from the get go, and I was happy when Toxic was spoiled because literally everything I said they should have done with Infect is what they did to it and called it Toxic. Having to keep track of multiple sources of -1/-1 counters on creatures is extremely annoying when you play in person and not online. Also one of the reasons I make no G/W decks, because I don't like having tokens and counters and other nonsense to keep track of in addition to playing the game.

I hate infect with a passion, but I use Toxic in a couple of my decks and even have a Karumonix, the Rat King deck that uses poison counters and people don't hate me for using it.

So to simplify it, Toxic is easily better than infect. It's not an OP wincon that everyone will have in their deck. While powerful, it can still be stopped and dealt with. And a Toxic deck draws noticeably less hate from the rest of the table than infect decks do.

Infect and eldrazi titans are fun killers that only sweaty tryhards use and try to defend using. They are for people who aren't good at a game but still want to win. They are training wheels used instead of brainpower

Ah yes yes, the wording is quite tricky sometimes. I will have to take a hard look at my deck, I noticed you already have, and see if anything else is interacting in incorrect ways. I'm a big fan of having Undead Alchemist in my deck even though it's technically counter intuitive to the rest of the deck

Isn't Consuming Aberration still considered to have mill on it and it's ability counts towards Zelix still? It came out in the Return to Ravnica block, so it's a clunky and outdated way of saying mill. Just like all old creatures that have keywords spelled out on them from before there were keywords are considered to have those keywords.

I play a very similar deck, and couldn't help but notice that comment. Anytime a player puts cards from the top of their library into their graveyard is considered mill even if it doesn't say mill, at least that is the way I've been playing the game. Just want you to get full use out of your cards
