Deck Description

Standard U/B infect deck. Lots of -1/-1 counters being deployed.
Phyrexian crusader is unbelievably good right now considering the amount of people playing either red or white creatures and spells. Boros, Goblins, Kuldotha, caw-blade all have no creatures that can block the crusader. Attach a bonehoard or use distortion strike and it's game over very quickly.
Sideboarding can deal with all the current metagame.
Fume spitter helps deal with super fast aggressive decks or you sac it to take down a bird while it's trying to be equipped.
Phyrexian Vatmother + Distortion strike = Death by poisin! (The same is true for Skithiryx.)

Deck discussion for The Infection Dissection

Thinking of taking out the Plague Myrs for an extra land and either 2 Duress or 2 Black Sun's Zenith main board.
Going to try playtesting it that way to see if it runs better. I do like having access to a turn 3 Vat Mother, Bonehoard and a turn 4 Skithiryx or corrupted conscience though.
Also considering changing Spell pierce to stoic Rebutal in the sideboard. Although if I change the Plague Myrs I don't think I will have enough artifacts to consistently have metalcraft so mana leak might be better.

First change:

Main Board
-3 Plague Myr
+1 Swamp / Island
+2 Duress

Side Board
-2 Duress
+1 Black Sun's Zenith
+1 Spell Pierce

Reason for trying changes:
Main Board
Extra land to help prevent mulligans.
Duress because so many control decks at the minute (Everybody playing Caw-Go)
Side Board
Since Duress coming out of sideboard an extra spell pierce helps in control matchups.
An extra Black Sun's Zenith should give me enough removal to deal with aggro now.
