Here's what you need to build a truly competitive mono black infect-Is anyone else thinking 'Curly Brackets!!!'?
Drop 4 toxic nim for four plague stinger.
Drop 2 skittles and the 2 plague myr for 4 whispering specter. It's a very strong card...

Just so everyone knows I'm trying to keep my costs for this deck under $100 not trying to win nationals or anything. Just trying to win a few standard tournaments and possibly a higher up tournament. But I appreciate all of the help 
the inkmoth nexus isn't going to happen though. I'm not droppin $10 ea for 4 lands. I'd drop that kind of money on creatures instead.November 17, 2011, 07:54:22 PM
Spikepit what did I do wrong ): I just want to helpNothing wrong, as in 'you're in trouble now, Mister' but we just have to remember to make this forum accessible to the new players of MtG who don't know the cards by linking each card to the database so we can see your suggestions. It's all good, just crank out those curly brackets, it makes it easier for everyone in the long run.
That being said, great deck suggestions and I totally agree with your choices, especially the Whispering Spectres! I might actually revisit my monoblack now. 😊

@Greg, inkmoth nexus is a creature, and very handy when you go through something like a Day of Judgment It's one of the better parts of the deck, and from the look of it, the only creatures you need for improvement are fairly inexpensive. Coming from an intense standard environment where there were a solid 8 mbi decks, 5 in the top 8, those are detrimental. @spikepit, got em all! Except swamp. Doubt that's an issue. And yeah the specters are beautiful against control

Wow! And here I thought I was the only one who knew about sarcasm. Ouch! Oh of course you don't need it to win, but if you've already given your opponent at least two poision counters then if they don't deal with the dragon they're dead in two.
Oh definitely. I'm not denouncing the power of skithirix, but the thing is, you don't want to draw him alot. One is enough, two is plenty, any more and it will suck for you

Check out Jacob Van Lunen's article, "Poisonous" for ideas on how to build thus archetype.I love MBI. I would consider Curse of Death's Hold as potential sb card.
