I'm looking at infect and I'm wondering are there any cards liked Lightning Bolt but infect?
Don't look at infect, it's terrible. And no, the most poison you'll get off a non-creature spell is one. That would be broken as well if you lightning bolt infect them.

Thought so and infect looks fun! But I've never played modern and I realize that it's glassy as hell is that why it sucks? Bc if they bolt or path your dude you're screwed?

Or just play for fun. Most of my modern decks aren't competitive and take 5 or 6 or even more turns to win. That's okay too. Modern format can be a blast. There is a great balance of power, a strong sense of "color pie", and a vast pool of great cards to draw from when designing decks. I recommend starting off with some casual-modern and go competitive when you get a sense of the format.

Very true I think that will probably be my route. I play mostly for fun too like I love competitive play but even in that I play for fun I'm not one of those players that's like "YOU MISSED YOUR UNTAP STEP JUDGE!!!" Lol

Honestly if you want speedy damage {lightning bolt} that suspend 1 - {R} 3 damage card
Rakdos cards also work very well. {rakdos cackler} {rakdos shredfreak} {spiked jester} {hellspark elemental} and a card I personally hate.

Untaping is the one trigger that you cannot miss actually...  Things will always untap.

'twas a joke ;)

I play casually with friends and like we'll bend a few minor rules but like I'll tell them "hey. Can't do that. You're DQ'd I win!" But like. It's just for fun so we don't really care. Like when someone searches a graveyard we might accidentally switch cards around. Nothing serious.

Switch cards around? Is that illegal?

Yes because some cards have triggers in the gy.  Can't remember what card but there is one similar to if there is a creature above him you can play him or something
