This seem ok?

Infect is op. In it self so I tried to keep the deck simple to keep it fair.

Let me know what you think please.

It's not a bad deck. Just remember that nothing besides a {Zur the Enchanter} deck pisses off an EDH player like an infect deck. Do you play with infect 10 or infect 15 to kill? My group uses 15 poison counters to adjust to EDH's starting life total.

I play MTGO. So it's to the rules. 10. I just had the idea and built it. Not sure if I'm going to buy the cards to run it online or not. Wanted to see the community reaction. This will be my 5th commander deck. I love EDH

{lashwrithe} might be a fun thing to include along with {vow of malice}

My group doesn't usually play infect, however if we do I throw a {triumph of the hordes} into my {uril, the miststalker} and it usually over pretty quick

I think its an amazing idea although id probably go with a golgari commander and rely on spells and creatures to infect.. In fact...

Going make infect edh post haste

IMO, 40 is twice as much as 20, so poison should be doubled to 20 for commander.  Yes, I know the rules say otherwise, but that's the only way I'll play against infect in commander.
Same. this is how my group does it actually.

I think 15 or 20 are both fair. Id be willing to play under either. 10 is ridiculous lol

Updated it.

I agree 15 or 20 is fair

How swiftly does the deck play out?

What a bunch of Whiners, play to 10 infect / poison and stop whining.

Also many things piss of good edh players besides zur and infect...

You wanna see rage quits then get  {Sire of Insanity} on turn two with greaves on... People scoop too fast to pass the turn...

Well like I said I play mtgo. So I have to play by the rules. Not sure how it plays just therory crafting the deck right now and getting feed back. I really like how it looks right now. So I think I will build it today and run it. See how it stands up.

I know EDH is casual and fun. But for thoughs who don't play online. The online community is very harsh and cut Throat. I think since they don't know the other players they feel it's ok to play the controversial cards.

But that's ok you get a real feel how crazy EDH can be.

Well for the record. I spent about 10 bucks building this deck online. (I had some cards already).

And this deck is just plain mean!

The commander decks just have no answer for its speed. Just pull your creatures and attack every turn!  Then pull out the flying commander with haste to finish the job and the game is over in just a few turns.

I played 1v1 and 2hg matches and it just dominated today.

And I felt that I was going to get compliants from players when the seen the deck. However I did not get a single gripe.

This is a fun deck to put fast aggro out and end games fast. The deck lacks card draw so it slows down by turn 6-7. But by then they have enough poison counters that your commander is all you need to finish them off.

May want to add  {Tainted Strike} it's a fun surprise. Maybe not. Most of your guys already have infect. Just seen the Titan.

Yeah after some play tainted strike is really not needed. There is a lot of infect in the deck. The only thing I feel it's weak at is card draw but it's still not needed.

No, you'll want card draw. and hell, for you, not only is {Phyrexian Arena} great for that, but also pretty damn flavourful as well!
