Deck Description

Alternative "Incapacitating Infection" focusing on proliferate rather then infect creatures.
+More board control thus more time.
+More consistency against various opponents thus a higher win rate.
+An overall more satisfying version. (at least for my taste)
+More mana production and better land solution.
-No graveyard support (no corpse cur)

I'd love some thoughts or ideas, if anyone wishes to share them :)

I feel like its getting close to perfect, I'm just fixing the last cards. (Before the next expansion of course)
SB notes anyone?

Deck discussion for Incapacitating Infection v2.0

hand of the praetors doesnt really make sense in this deck, its really only good if you are playing alot of infect creatures. i would replace with skithiryx.

Thanks for the suggestion though I'm not a big fan of all that black mana required also it works well to have them buffing the crusaders and inkmoth, I'm currently playing 2 of them, 4 crusaders and 1 quicksilver but I havent drawn it yet :d.

On second thought I might just go with 2 of each not sure though.

Thanks for your comment earlier, after making some changes to the mana and mana production I felt comfortable bringing it into MB and it does feel better then the Praetors, even though I'm keeping them SB.. I have a feeling it they will be nice to have if I am forced to try and play more on creatures

I'd still make use of a set of Praetors, honestly. I've had an infect deck which featured them played against me and it threw me for a big loop every match.

In a BU control-based infect deck, the combo of Hand of the Praetors, a pair of Corpse Cur, and a Throne of Geth can net you a lot of poison counters pretty quickly should you have the mana to run it. WIth even 4 mana, you're adding two poison counters each turn. With just one Hand in play, the Corpse Cur is 3/3 and can block smaller creatures without dying (or block bigger ones before sacrificing it to the Throne of Geth).
