I have playtested these before NPH came out, these are definitley a possible option but to include them I would need to make changes to my mana pool to support the extra mana needed, also it means I have less ability to interfere with what my opponent is doing, the point of this deck is to be able to put on pressure right from the go and to nullify my opponents ability to react to it. I tend to play out only one to two creatures per turn and with the large number of them in my deck it means i can really build up a scary attack force.

I want to keep it a standard deck, i considered shrine of loyal legions but for my purposes it was ineffective and slow because i wasn't casting many white spells
i built a gw infect for a fnm meet, i prefer using either large amounts of pump with a infiltration lens or a live wire lash to focus the deck around, both are mental with the amount of pump you need to pull this off, lens works by forcing them to block then pumping to destroy their creature and generating more pumps, rot wolf is best for this setup as you draw 3 cards per block. alternatley you can use livewire lash as a focus, get it out and equip it to an infect, and then every time you pump you hit them for 2 infect, or again combine it with rot wolf to draw by killing off their defenders, the other trick is that rebound spells will proc the lash twice, the best to use for that trick is emerge unscathed, like vines of vastwood you can use it to prevent removal, but you can also use it to avoid their blockers as well, i suggest you incorporate one of these strategies into your deck - and cut out the putrefaxes, the only way i have ever seen them used effectively is in a mimic vat setup.
