In a deck designed for speed mana and search, with four each {birds of paradise} {llanowar elves} and {lotus petal}, searching with {worldly tutor} and {sterling grove} as well as other search sources, you can get a poison combo like this out quickly

In standard you just let the combo come to you. If its not in your first hand, mulligan, then mulligan some more until you get it.  If you still don't get it hope for a miracle

Personally, I don't rely on a single kill or combo factor, but work in several, each designed to mesh with the others to make them stronger, but not reliant on them

Well that's a very bland way to look at it but let me be more clear on the x factor that is mulliganing; all you need in an infect deck is at least one creature, 2 land including at least a forest, and 2-3 instant buffs to win and a protection spell like {ranger's guile} or {apostle's blessing} to top it off but it's not mandatory unless playing against Blue or Black. So the bare minimum amount of cards needed is around 5 cards to win turn 3, turn 4.  You start out with 7 so if you don't have the combo or a part of it, you have two more opportunities to shuffle your deck and try again. Unless of course you go second then you have 3 more opportunities to go and get it. There's a lot more to poison decks than just 10 poison counters and a quick win

I think he was saying to make this deck in standard not thats how all standard is played.

The entire deck is made up of the combos above wether you like mulliganing or not if the combo is not in your hand and it's not playable then it's not playable and therefore mulligan is the move to make. I'm only saying that it's a perk to play the deck because even if you mulligan it's ok because you can still win quickly and viciously with a minimum of 5 cards.

Yup he misread that statement plus I was goofing off myself

Hmmm I'm not sure what resentment means but I think it applies here

Jdogtoocool

That was a joke man it's all good

{invigorate} is the best infect based buff spell 100% free to cast as long as you have a forest

T1: {forest} and {glistener elf}
T2: {invigorate} and {berserk} game

Nice after October all the infect players are gonna be hitting the legacy scene if they're not already
