Well, Infect has become a bit of a (weak in tournament play, but great in casual) bandwagon. It's all about poison counters. I even see non-infect decks splashing stuff to poison people to death because, well, it's fun. My experience with poison has been a mostly losing battle. These topdecked pump spells usually end games. But there's a better pump than that Might of Oaks (which my brother plays in his Legacy Infect deck) that's also Standard legal: Gigantiform.
Gigantiform, that card that makes the enchanted creature 8/8 and gives it Trample. Remember it? The wincon for Sovereigns before Conscription. Here's a rough UG list. I apologize for not having a "scroll over to see the card" kind of plugin. I don't know how to get one. Regardless, without further ado, here's the Standard-legal list.
4 Blight Mamba
3 Corpse Cur
4 Cystbearer
4 Ichorclaw Myr
4 Necropede
3 Thrummingbird
3 Contagion Clasp
1 Contagion Engine
4 Gigantiform
4 Mana Leak
4 Preordain
1 Bojuka Bog
2 Evolving Wilds
8 Forest
7 Island
4 Terramorphic Expanse
I have a sideboard for the deck, but it's really up to you to customize one to your meta. Feel free to make one up.
Until next time, play on.
Are you planning to get Gigantiform and win by turn 8? Well, in Standard anyways, here's your problems:
ReplyDeleteValakut bolts your creature in response.
Elves utterly destroys you by then.
RDW does too.
UW/UB control counters or removes immediately (cough condemn cough doom blade cough)
Most decks can actually win by turn 8.
You have /no ramp/, and this is not a control deck. How do you expect it to win?
This is really more of a casual list. Not competitive. And my weenies win some games, especially against control because their Wall of Omens actually dies and I can get in for some hits then. Stop trollin' man, this is just an idea.
