Title: Infect Survival
Post by: ELLERfeller on February 04, 2016, 09:06:34 AM
Is there any hope for a mono-green infect deck that's been stalled out?

stalled out as in they wiped your board?

or they dropped {Malira, Sylvok Outcast}?

makes a difference ;)

Or  {Fog}ed when you dropped your load.

It's always been a bit of everything haha but life's legacy is a very interesting prospect!!  The most common stall has been the board wipe or constant burn.

So much of the  {Mental Misstep} ban.

But seriously have you tried
{Apostle's Blessing}
Or
{Ranger's Guile}
But only works for bolts not wipes.

there are a couple like these that give indestructible till end of turn which would help against board wipes.

{Mortal's Resolve}
{Withstand Death}
{Valorous Stance} if white is a possibility

{Make a stand} if your doing {W}
or {Ephemeral Shields}

Withstand death is my favorite for this situation though
Definitely {Apostle's Blessing}, it's so cheap and doesn't require the extra color

apostle's blessing is definitely worth putting in if just to survive modern burn!

{Vines of vastwood} should already be a 4-of in an infect deck anyway. Does some great work on both offense and defense. If you are struggling to keep your dudes alive try holding on to vines for a bit longer and see if that helps.
