Okay I went 2/2
1/2
2/0
1/2
2/0
Curse of deaths hold, and mass kill spells were a big problem, especially when I didn't have a counterspell.
I'm about to "fix" the side board and see what you all have as suggestions.
Curly brackets around the card names makes it easierfor those checking your deck to look at certain cards

Oops i'm new just my first post I'll edit Thanks!
No problem. Welcome to the forum :)
U take it this deck of yours is blue black infect and the gameplan is to attack them to death?
One thing that caught me is main boarding extraction over crusader. Personally I'd run crusader as a 4 of main board and extraction as a 4 of in the sideboard
I don't dislike crusaders, they did fine in monoblack, and I was doing fine with mono black. But it's horrible matchup against mono green and red blue, so I decided to try this. I'd like to keep crusader in the board vs red/white decks because making the tiny ones come out fast and spinning unblockable damage works quick. What do you think about this possibility ?
Main
-2 surgical
+2 {tezzeret's gambit} or {forbidden alchemy} or {think twice} or {gitaxian probe}
Side
- 1 corrosive gale
- 1 ghost quarter
+ 2 surgical
Well unless your meta is a lot of red white sideboard is fine but they they honestly should be main.
Proliferate is good in any poison deck
Main:
-3 {plague myr}
-2 {surgical extraction}
+ 4 {phyrexian crusader}
+ 1 {spectral flight} Or {artful dodge}
Any comments on the new edit since everyone wants to see the crusaders back it has been Done so^ bump bump bump
I need moar u/b lands so if anyone has any let me know and I'll put my trade stuff up... I've been meaning to anyway
Fixed in the main post
Kill the Tezzeret's gambit an a artful to being back mana leak or?
How is this deck played I'm curious? I'd doubt like a control deck because you've got creature 2 drops up the wazoo.
Get one creature, and push for a quick 10
Livewire lash let's you bounce poison counters directly when you target your own creatures with instants/enchants. So one clear shot and a boost or two does the trick. Usually a turn 4-5 kill. I usually go undefeated, but I ran into a mono green undying deck and couldn't really keep his monsters at bay And deal with 8 fogs.. So I had to try the blue to get around that
Kay so I don't know how I missed {curiosity} before but I'm totally ditching artful dodge and Tezz gambits for it!!
I mean just throw it on an unblockable or flyer, and it goes with livewire lash!
Okay bUmp edited and fixed suggestions about my comments in original post please.
