This is the $50 deck that got me third at our FNM. Kill swing every fourth or fifth turn, consistently. It just takes a lot of math and a lot of play testing to get the hang of the deck.

I 💚💙 U/G infect. It is kinda of a preference thing, but I love {Inexortable Tides} in the sideboard in case you need them. They have a lot of goo uses, especially when you are playing at least 2 spells a turn, and have {Blighted Agents}.

Typical game:
Turn one, land go
Turn two, blighted agent
Turn three, wild defiance
Turn four, pump and swing for game

Understood. That card would be super door if I could afford to have a five drop

Yea.. I understand. I am more used to a Ramp U/G infect with {Vines of the Vastwood} as the only ramp cards. An I usually play legacy so more different play styles.

Not to Burt your bubble but what happens when you play a zombie deck... Red green wolf? Vampire? Token? Burn? White green creature pump? Just saying be seen a similar probably better infect deck... But ur general problem is lack of creatures

You aren't bursting anybody's bubble. What happens against those decks is I win, turn four or five. I have won so many games with just a single inkmoth and no other creatures.

Then you are a little fish in a small puddle of water. I would destroy this deck with any half assed burn by simply zapping ur nexus and creatures. It's not hard it's called playing smart. My buddy runs a blue green infect deck, so maybe that's why I Kno how to undo them so easily just saying smart players have kill cards and what not. And check out my white/green pump deck you could only probably beat that with nexus. I am curious though if u ran sword of war and peace would that splash as infect damage?

That's nice an all, but with wild defiance, your burn spells actually pump my creatures. If you try to shock my inkmoth, all you'll end up doing is giving it +1/+1. Not to mention the Ranger's Guiles and Apostle's Blessings that I have to counter any other kill spells. Get off your high horse.  I know how to play my deck.

My edits my opinion I like your build, I just love these cards in my experience

Also I should have changed the mana ratio but I'm lazy

DirtyMustachio

Oh man I totally missed the whole troll thing, dude has maybe never seen a good infect deck

Dude in infect all you need is 1 creature, keep it alive and win turn 3-5

Sup brahhh

I used to side it, but between blighted agent, Apostle's blessing, and the artful dodges, I don't really have a problem with blockers.
