I made this deck in about 50 minutes because I lost my modern deck and this deck did better than my regular deck

Aside from swapping out the basic lands for more shocklands, this seems pretty good as is. It reminds me of the deck Ari Lax played in Pro Tour Gatecrash.

{Invigorate} is not modern legal.

{apostle's blessing}, MB or SB

It helps for 1) unblockable for {1}
Or 2) protection from removal for {1}

Its a dirty card for infect, horriby versatile

Skittles is too pricey. Not needed with all the dirty tricks in modern.

 Max out on the  {Rancor}s and get rid of  {Phyrexian Crusader}.
For a sideboard,  {Nature's Claim},  {Spellskite},  {Dismember},  {Grafdigger's Cage} are never a bad idea.
I started running  {Distortion Strike} as a 2 of in my version on the deck. Testing has been very good at my LGS, but it is up to you to play it or not.

I think relic of progenitus is better than the cage because of living end!

 {Simian Spirit Guide} and {Assault Strobe}. Modem semi replacement for {Berserk}.
Title: Re: Infect
Post by: MisterJH on May 13, 2013, 09:29:53 PM
But its chancy as you must have a simian AND assault strobe in hand, together

Eek

Not as much as you think. Also run {City of Brass}. Also the spirit guides help with your speed and extra mana even if not used to pay for the strobes.
