I personally don't like the crusaders in the main board. If you must have them I would cut to 2 at most 3. Add a few {Spellskite }and 4 {Gitaxian Probe}. You don't want blow your load to see it just get pathed bolted decayed or what ever other removal they may have. Unless your meta is different those are my suggestions.

Tass you proved yourself wrong lol

Path and bolt are why you run a playset of Crusaders lol

I understand that as I said I personally don't like them. Also I like to have my creature out turn one or two for infect so I can possibly drop my load turn 3.

I personally like to shoot my load at them by turn 3. But I guess dropping your load works too...

I am trying to see what would be best for the side board mostly.
The Crusaders are awesome against burn=] and some other random white or red combos
A problem I have is {Blood Moon} and {Ensnaring Bridge} and of course {Spellskite}

Abrupt decay and IoK hurt you

I feel {gitaxian probe} should be in here somewhere. The card allows you to see your opponents hand so you know whether you can go all in on a creature, also it replaces itself. Maybe -2 IoK and -1 abrupt decay for 3 main, I normally play UG infect, and it's always nice to see that my opponent cannot stop an 11/11 on turn 3.

Also, {mutagenic growth} is a great card, feel like it belongs in any infect deck, and {illness in the ranks} is a good token remover for sideboard

I was saying in response to your burn comment. That still abrupt decay and inquisition of koz still kill you and that stuff runs rampant here. Personally I still think GU is best for infect but how is this working out for you

I have the Gitaxian Probes but the only Blue mana is Noble Hierarch and I can not for sure get her when I get a probe or keep her=[

That is correct. Life doesn't mean much to infect.

Infect is a fun deck to play and by turn 5 or 6 you are struggling so the 2 life you pay from probe is not much of a loss

Haha. I forgot the probe had the phyrexian mana part to it. So sleep deprived lately

I personally like {natures claim}s in my sideboard just because I get rid of a lot of threats with it. I see you have 2, I usually run 4 in UG. That's just me though, what kind of decks do you normally play against?

I would suggest stuff to protect your creatures like  {Apostle's Blessing} or that green spell from avcyn restored that gives hex proof if you don't already have it. I would go less creature removal and more get my stuff thru. Also  {Dismember} can always be good if you feel you must creature removal.

{Wild Defiance}
