Deck discussion for Standard B/R Infect (FNM)

This deck is pretty good! i like the use of dark tutelage to get your poison creatures quick, and Vampire's Bite is a perfect offensive, yet defensive, card for a deck like this. The land search cards seem silly because you don't have any landfall, and definitely main deck your flame slashes and Goblin Tunnelers, so you can get ride of anyone in the way of your poison counters and if you still can't get rid of them, make your creatures unblockable, since they all have 2 power of less.

Thanks for the great, in-depth comment! What I am currently struggling with is a balance between infect creatures, and spells. The land search gets rid of land cards from the deck, and also, there is no first turn play other than a duress, so it doesn't harm the deck to get a first turn Terramorphic, and in fact, because of this even though there are few mountains, I never seem to miss out on the lands I require.

I am hoping besieged comes out with more red support cards, to really cement this color choice.
I will really consider what to sub out, perhaps the livewire lashes, since Assault strobe + Vampire bite is practically a win especially on an Ichor rats.

I still dont' like Goblin Tunnellers in this deck. I'm sorry, but i feel like you can do better with Distortion Strikes going U. Red isn't bad, but basically everything red does, you can do better in Black or Blue; the only real reason to run red is Assault Strobe, which just isn't good enough.

Just my two cents. Nice idea, good deck.
