Deck discussion for Modern Infect

Hi! I want to make a couple suggestions for you.

I'd say you want Cathedral of War as a one-of land maybe in place of a forest because it's actually really good in place of Noble Hierarch for you. Lose Tezzeret's Gambit, replace it with Apostle's Blessing in the main-deck. Don't play Gambit at all, it's too slow for your deck. T3 is the turn you want to win. And take the Blessings out of the board in place of something like Dispel. Idk those two spaces can be used better than for Blessings that should be in the main-deck. Bow of Nylea is also too slow.

You don't need fetches between shocks and checks, but I'd say find room for two pain lands (Yavimaya Coast) over forests as well. Your mana base will look something like: 4 Inkmoth Nexus, 4 Breeding Pool, 4 Hinterland Harbor, 1 Cathedral of War, 2 Yavimaya Coast, 4 Forest.

I really like this list. Instead of Hierarch play Cathedral of War, and don't forget your Pendelhaven.

Yeah this guy nails it. Drop Tezzerets Gambit for either Apostles Blessing or Wild Defiance main, and open up some slots in the board. Apostles Blessing does in incredible amount of work in this deck. Not only protecting your dudes from removal but also makes them unblockable so you can go for the kill.

Your sideboard in general is pretty terrible actually. I would suggest some Natures Claim, Spellskite, and Dispel/ Spell Pierce, and that's about all you'll need.

Here's the BUG list i play for reference.

As far as Infect lists go, you can do alright with UG, but the only way to really be viable is to play the BUG version. The black splash adds a lot in Plague Stinger and Inquisition of Kozilek. There really is no good replacement for Stinger, he's the only other 2 mana infect beater with evasion, which is absolutely crucial. Also i understand a lack of Hierarch for budget reasons, but again, she adds so much to the deck.

In my opinion you can only go so far with UG infect. Not to sound like a dick, but i would rather just play a different deck, than play a seriously diluted version of a good deck. Without Hierarch, and without Stinger, this deck can only be so good.

This is a deck I just have around for others to use, I do have 2 Heirarchs I can put in, but im not currently interested in splashing black. I will add Pendalhaven. Thanks for the input everyone
