iMtG Server: Gathering

Modern U/G Infect 60 cards, 0 sideboard 4 {Inkmoth Nexus} 2 {Island} 4 {Breeding Pool} 2 {Forest} 4 {Misty Rainforest} 2 {Pendelhaven} 18 lands 3 {Ichorclaw Myr} 4 {Glistener Elf} 3 {Noble Hierarch} 4 {Blighted Agent} 14 creatures 1 {Sleight of Hand} 1 {Ranger's Guile} 3 {Groundswell} 3 {Rancor} 4 {Vines of Vastwood} 4 {Distortion Strike} 4 {Might of Old Krosa} 4 {Gitaxian Probe} 4 {Mutagenic Growth} 28 other spells Sideboard

Im not a huge fan of ichorclaw, i feel hes easily replaced by something better such as more protection or well.. Most anything. Id at least drop 1 for another noble hierarch since that ramp+pump is just phenomenal in infect in my experience with it and ideally youd always be dropping one

Just my view on lovely UG infect

Idk ichorclaw and rancor are a match made in heaven.  He is the weakest creature in here I agree.  Besides the 3 hierarch I have are foils and I don't want to spend $90+ to get a fourth and I am too anal to get a non-foil and make an odd playset 😜

Hahahah well in that case dont change a thing, god forbid you only have 3 $90 foils

Hehe

Should run 4 more Fetchlands. Infect really hates land draws when it can draw a more open ended card.

Except he gets to a point were he has to add more fetachable lands or when he draws fetches he can't crack them.

If he gets to a point where he can't crack a fetch, the game is pretty much over.

So do you just fold to any deck running Melira?

yes, yes I do.
Thank you for your constructive feedback.

Looks like you could just beat them with Buffs then though

I'm sensing some sarcasm.

Sideboard in some  {Pongify} for that pesky Melira.

I like it 👍

I just realized I forgot to ask for SB help on this one.  That is why I posted it....for SB suggestions.

Not true when he only has 4 fetchable lands and could be holding some in his starting hand.

^ i disagree for the most part. Any permanent is nice but its actually iffy to get 3 mana by turn 3(although USUALLY youll be alright id assume, just a point to consider) and turn 3 is often a good turn to swing for lethal with infect. The mana cost is fairly high for this deck, and removing chumps/pesky creatures is generally the utility he needs

So definitely pongify or rapid hybridization... Maybe another rancor/another trample giver to overcome some dumb lil chumpies?

I agree 100%
I thought about beast for this deck but 18 land makes it hard to cast that card efficiently and I'm not bumping the land count give the low mana curve of the deck as is.  Pogify is what I need in SB....can't believe I forgot about that card.....what happens when you take a break for a bit
