Woah, I thought  {Berserk} was banned in legacy. That's crazy power in an infect deck.

Im not sure on the  {Bounty of the Hunt} but i could be wrong if you do get the  {Berserk}s (good luck) i would drop the bounty for it

 {Bounty of the Hunt} is a card few people expect and it's won me a number of games. Tapped all out of mana? Oh yeah,  {Bounty of the Hunt}.

 {Dark Confidant} or  {Deathrite Shaman} could be used in this deck

Too slow IMO. For infect you need to win early, like first couple of turns early. I've gone to late games with the help of the counters I run but still better to suit the build to go off before you get late game where your chances of winning decrease dramatically.

I'm curious, where would {Deathrite Shaman} even come in handy?  You're going for infect, so the damage is null.  You're either going to win quickly or be very weak later, so the life gain isn't very important, and the mana is ok, but there are other mana dorks with better abilities IMO.  And if you're looking for just pinging things out of their graveyard, I'm sure there are better things than him.  However, I'm not a legacy player, so I don't know a whole lot about the format.  I just think Deathrite would be weak in this deck.

{Dark Confidant} wouldn't be bad, but you're going to want to be dropping a {Blighted Agent} T2 rather than Bob, no?

Whoa! Yeah.

T1:  {Glistener Elf}
T2:  {Might of Old Krosa} on the main phase,  {Berserk}. GG.

I wish there was a good proxy duel program so I could test my deck against this.

Cockatrice is good for testing.

I think it randomized shuffling too much but still good for a decent idea of what you're doing.
