Title: WHY
Post by: Ekann1 on July 20, 2014, 05:38:32 PM
Why does infect have to exist in modern... I hate that deck so much. Who will help me trade for all the {glistener elves} in the world and rip them up?

Because, for some reason, WotC decided t was a good idea to upgrade the Poisonous mechanic and combine it with Wither.  No one actually likes playing against it, but we have to deal with it.

Even if the creatures are over costed there is a reason they originally decided on 20 life...

Infect simplifies magic - u block or you gonna die
Better use removal for the 1/1!

Better run birthing pod!

I love infect! Makes others really focus on stopping me as fast as possible. Also makes me pay attention to how I play more so I don't ruin the steam at the start. I've ran out of power a few turns in before.

I like it because it throws my LGS in circles. Only a couple people run top tier decks and most people run slow things and can't hold up to me.
