Deck Description

Do early infect damage with Inkmoth nexus, Ichorclaw myrs.
Keep the table free from attackers and dangerous permaments with Black suns zenith, Into the roll. Tumble magnet used for tapping (nice combination with proliferation, e.g. contagion claps, core prowler)
Constantly proliferate once you did enough poison damage: contagion clasp, core prowler (+ mimic vat), throne of geth.

For aggro decks, fuel for the cause and corrupted conscience should be exchanged with vampires bite. Allows to regain life points and does +3 extra infect damage.

Exchange Virulent wound with go for the throat if enemy plays strong creatures.

I think your deck needs some drawing boost and not corrupted conscience

thought of adding 2 vivisection. would allow to sacrifice necropedes (and place a -1/-1 counter on a target creature). thx 4 the suggestion.

It needs to main deck go for the throat. It's too good of a removal to pass up. I also think into the roil should be replaced for mana leak. This is what I got from a similar build http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=147485

hi thx for the response :)

go for the throat is a really good card. i only thought that i should use it if the enemy plays strong creatures i cant handle, since contagion clasp and viruelent wound will do a good job for tiny creatures. also black suns zenith is pretty nice as it allows to place -1/-1 counters which can be combined with proliferate.

i used into the roil as the deck is about speed. mana leak costs me 2 mana which i might urgently need at the beginning of the game to play small creatures.
instead if i use into the roil i can remove a blocking creature, which is pretty fine as the enemy gets poison counters. also into the roil is a good card for the midgame as it allows to draw a card in addition. actually the deck does not need that much counter spells according to my opinion. it will benefit from mass killer spells as it allows to continue to proliferate, also large creatures could be handled by calling them back to owners hand or even controlled with corrupted conscience.

if the creature is declared as a blocker your infect creature wont get through even if you bounce it back to their hand. I honestly dont like corrupted conscience here because it's a 5 drop. Since there's a lot of removal in the new meta it wouldn't take long for the creature you took to die by a wrath effect, burn spell, disenchant, or straight up removal. Those could be replaced for 2 more fuel for the cause which is really good in this deck.

The refuge land i dont like either. Even if it gains you 1 life...I'd rather be able to get a man-land down on the board to act as a blocker if need be, so creeping tar pit is what i would do.

of course ild play into the roil before the attack is declared :)

creeping tar pit would also be my favourite choice, but honestly i dont own that card and consequently i used the cheaper variant :). also i only own 3 darkslick shores, therefore not using another one.

thx for the suggestion, as u suggest i will probably use 2 more fuel for the cause, since i only need mana for the small infect creatures, kill spells, and to activate contagion clasps and mimic vat for proliferation.
