More probes less rancor. Imo. You want to see their hand before you blow your load.

I think maybe 2 less lands and 2 more probes. You have the hierarchs to make up for the deficit, and will still have the rancors for the trample.

I believe if you are splitting 6 slots among mutagenic growth and might of old krosa then you really need 4 might of old krosa and only 2 mutagenic growth

Imo I would reduce wild defiance to 2, up git probe +2
-1 fetch, -1 Spellskite main (throw one in the side) and +1 might and +1 vines.

But if you want to run 4 wild defiance main, somehow get mutegenic to 4 (it's basically a free +5/+5 when wild defiance is out) and also get {distortion strike} in there too. It's really good when you have a wild defiance out.

A primer is a guide about deck types.
And how to modify them for different meta, and budgets.

If you go on magic salvation they have ones for every deck type for all formats
This is the one for infect
