The thing about Unnatural Predation is that it's perfect if you don't have your blighted agent out and they have creatures to block your Glistener Elf or Rot Wolf or whatever. By turn 3 you can use it in addition to Vines of Vastwood or Groundswell and have a 5/5 trample infect. I guess this isn't a problem if you aren't playing vs aggro decks. I got a mono green infect deck and Unnatural Predation works out well for me. Anyways, this deck is pretty cool. Keep it up!

I would advise you to rework your deck. You have 8 creatures making that a 13% chance to get one in your initial hand. Lands and Spells make up 40% each. You really need more creatures! No point having pump cards if you have no creatures in the battlefield to pump! I got a mono-green infect deck too. Check it out. I dunno if it will help but it might give you some inspiration =D! If you get the right hand it can be a turn 2 win, if not just hold on a little and you'll win in about turn 4 or 5! Anyway! With a few more creatures this deck would be pretty good IMO so keep this up!
Simply AWESOME =D
Woot! Awesome deck dude!
Haha! Seems like it could be very fun to play. I can almost imagine my opponents face when I say: "Bazaar Trader taps and GG" It is a hard to come by win condition though. Diabolic Tutor helps A LOT but it's still a turn 4 card =S. You gotta endure possible assaults done by the opponent and also make sure he has no cards in the graveyard! Still: NICE DECK =D
You're right! I didn't know about the summoning sickness affecting tap or untap abilities =O. I'm pretty new to MTG
Been thinking about it... and Phyrexian Hydra is definitely the win condition Get it out on turn 3. Pump it with Unnatural Predation and Vines of Vastwood and its an almost sure win =D!
Phyrexian Hydra in turn 3 would be AWESOME! But it's an insta target for all kinds of spells. If I have Vines of Vastwood in my hand it can be freaking amazing though. You're right about the starting hand: it's gotta be damn good. My plan was this: Turn 1: Forest + Llanowar Elves (tap for 1 mana) + Glistener Elf. Turn 2: Forest + Llanowar Elves + Attack with Glistener Elf and hopefully opponent won't block coz it's a 1/1 --> PUMP IT. Turn 3: Forest + Cystbearer or some such I like the Contagion Clasp idea. With Llanowar elves it can be used to proliferate but I'm not too keen on using it. I wanted to make a 100% creature based deck. I think I'll remove Cystbearer and go for the Hydra. I'll remove Ichorclaw Myr and put Plague Myr coz Necropede gives me the chance to put a -1/-1 counter on target creature when it dies which is quite okay. Thanks for the comments! Feedback really helps!
I forgot to ask you if you I should put Garruk into the deck?
Hmmf. The unnatural predation was for the trample and to be used in addition to groundswell or unnatural predation in case I'm facing a deck with a lot of creatures. The Tangle Angler seems cool though its a 4 mana cost and the point is winning before you get that amount of mana on the field. I removed primal bellow in favor of unnatural predation. I'll sideboard it because it's true that it's a better pump card overall. Thx for the comment =)
err... how did you get 6 poison counters in one turn using only throne of geth? you must've had something to untap it, rite? or did you have all 4 of them on the battlefield?
Thx for the comment! I checked out your deck and man... you're right. My deck is way too late game. Yours looks very nice indeed. I think I might try it out (if you don't mind that is). I'll try to make some changes though I'm now making a blue/artifact deck Again, thanks and cheers!
Hey! I'm trying to build an infect/proliferate deck too! I see yours relies more on creatures than mine. You given me a few ideas (inexorable tide is amazing). Have you tried this deck out? Did it work? Looks like a pretty awesome deck! Check out mine if you got some time and gimme some feedback. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=177587
