u...u broke the E. Value counter..

the draws r hella clunky tbh. either draw 4 forests and 3 1drop buffs or draw no lands and have everything in your hand be 4drops+

hey sway think u can do a standard version once rtr rotates out?

oh neat, a Prison deck.

the draws r hella clunky but when it works, u win.

Which is better? Aqueous Form, or Ensoul Artifact?

thinking about adding Alpha authority...but not really.

So what Im hearing is, Melira is a good sideboard vs Infect and has enough utility to be in a sideboard regardless. Interesting.

i also wonder about this...

y u gotta be so Arrest over Pacifism? Is Arrest really worth it for that extra mana and getting dat pithing needle in?

mmmmmmmmmmmbbuuddeeehh!! :D

My take on the Infect budget game. Wutcha think?

with all those enchantments im curious why you dont add ethereal armor..

Supersick, Groundswll gives +4/+4 due to playing a land.

Also Infect lets you win the game by doing half their life total.
The game starts with 20 LIFE. But you need 10 INFECT COUNTERS to win.
Do you understand the reasoning behind this mechanic? It effectively lets you win by dealing 10 damage instead of 20 while countering your enemy's lifegain.
What you're describing is a redundant strategy. Whats the point of Infecting 10 counters if their life is aready down to 10?

Jesus H Christ. Sac Doom Engine for Shrapnel blast to deal 11 damage or Life's legacy it and deal 5 damage and draw 6. ggwp.

:'D its beautiful.

OoO Its so flavourful too! Imagine all your 1/1 human tokens praying and suddenly the heavens burst open with angels!

A Semi-Angel tribal deck...It..its so beautiful.. ToT

No Devout Invocation?

Celestia...Vs. Luna?

YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

ive considered Infect Gruul...Too expensive. This IS budget after all. A decent one typically runs between 60-200 bucks depending on if you wanna cough up for the special lands.

While Gruul Infect works just as well if not better, Simic Infect has the best pound-for-pound power for low cost and high efficiency.

This deck definitely uses Green as its shell, but without splashing blue or black as most infect decks have, it loses Evasion and relies on plowing your opponent as hard as you can. Suddenly you just traded all your creatures with no way to sneak in that last damage ftw.

Even with Rancor's Trample, even with green cards like wild defiance, Might of old Krosa or Vines of Vastwood or Blight Mamba, a good opponent WILL chump block you all day every day if nothing else than to get rid of your creatures. Because guess what? Once you've played the 6 creatures you can statistically draw in one game, theyve got you.

But with blue, suddenly youve got Evasion, you've got unblockable creatures, distortion strike and aqueous form. Cards that let you safely damage your opponent. Suddenly youve got Simic charm that fills every need of this deck, it removes a potential blocker, it hexproofs your creature, it gives them a pump.

And thats why I went blue for this deck. That compromise gives your creatures Evasion and in turn survivability at the expense of burst damage. In the long run is better due to how EASILY this deck gets shut down from removal.

It also gives me a way around the inconsistency issue that most infect players overcome by paying up real moneyz for lands. Aqeuous form's Scry ability bros. And Blighted Agent or Distortion Strike can give me something to do while I have a dead hand.
