The first control deck I have concieved. Its win con is obviously unblockable/evasive infect combined with exalted. Infect is usually meant to be fast, but control is meant to be slow. So if you play control, might as well have to deal half as much damage to win (10 poison counters).

Advice, plox! :D

This just looks nasty. I'd hate to sit down and play against this

I'd say drop the four missteps and add two {phyrexian crusader} and two {tezzerets gambit}

I like that idea. I wanted the missteps to shut down mana dorks and parish champs early on (plus {Tragic Slip} and stuff later)...but your suggestions are better late game, which is what matters with control. Thanks!

No problem. The crusader is one of the better infect creatures and I figured he'd do some good here. And the gambit give you draw and more kill all for a reasonable price.
