I'll have to try the Reverberate, if i can find any :P

Does seem like it will help out though.

Thanks for the suggestion :-)

Should've put curse of echoes in there, but wanted to keep the mana costs down.
Also tried to stick with the make a lot of noise theme, no silence for my opponent :P

Thanks for the ideas :-)

I like the Cenn's Enlistment, I'll have to look for some of those.
I don't have the other two, but I could add more Increasing Devotion.
Still need to test this out though, hopefully tomorrow.

Thanks for the suggestions :-)

Forgot about the honor of the pure, I only have one but it will go in.
Once I get more O-ring and Intagible Virtue I will put them in for sure.

Thanks for the suggestions :-)

No Grand Abolishers anywhere near me unfortunately :-(
And my brother has the rest of the oblivion rings and other control cards :P (Will put more in for sure, once I have)
I play casual multi-play quite a lot and I've seen shrines go quite big, always makes everyone worry :D

I expected to see a Bloodline Keeper in the deck, any reason it is not included? I understand though if you don't have any.
Never played draw 2 drop 2 so can't really add much more. I would imagine it makes games very different from the regular mode.

I like the Vector Asp+Throne of Geth idea.
Never ran both in a deck (Haven't used Vector Asp much since my first infect deck), so I'm not sure how well they work together. Should be pretty good I imagine.
Always prefered using necropede for my throne :p

Unfortunately I only have the two shrines at the moment, will get some more now.

Thanks for the suggestion :-)

I like the Signal Pest idea.
Any reason you are not running Hand of the Praetors?
Someone mentioned to me that Lashwrithe works well in mono-black infect, and i must say I agree. Have a look at it.
I would also put a few Despise (creature removal) in the sideboard to swap out for Horrifying Revelation. I prefer to choose for my opponent which cards to discard and get a peek at their hand :p

Planning to use this deck soon I assume? I would be interested to know how it does :-)

FNM is standard, so the Giant Growth will have to go.
Replace with Titanic Growth, Ranger's Guile Unnatural Predation and/or Mirran Mettle.

I would drop one each of Core Prowler and Corpse Cur and replace with 2x Contagion Clasp.
The Wurm's Tooth I would replace with another necropede.
I would also consider losing some, if not all, of the Vector Asp for Ichorclaw Myr.

First strike infect is good, look at Phyrexian Crusader.
Removal of some sort (Geth's Verdict)
Skithryx, Blight Dragon is always a nice big endgame infect creature.

Explanation of my choices:
Infect runs best when it is as quick as possible.
Contagion Clasp will proliferate for you like the prowler, but it is also early removal.
Necropede is also nice removal, and I believe it would bring more benefit than the life gain from the Wurm's Tooth.
Vector Asp can work nice and early, but from what I've experienced Ichorclaw Myr tends to do a better job, even though it comes in a turn later.

Inkmoth Nexus also works wonders if you have any, they are a bit pricey to buy a playset though

I will be interested to know how this turns out for you, good luck :-).

So i'm guessing Blazing Shoal and one of your crazy costing big creatures are your win?
Have you considered Invigorate? Saw it in another infect and thought it was awesome.

One of the most interesting infect decks I've seen.

Very nice work :-)

Reassembling Skeleton+Stronghold Assasin would work well in a Grave Pact deck.
Made a deck from back when Stronghold came out. Used Lab Rats instead of Reassembling skeleton back then.

I like the Oversold Cemetery :-)

I would be interested to know how this runs.

Nice Work :-)

No Dragonspeaker Shaman? Always expect him in dragon decks :D
Biggest problem I have when playing dragons is getting them out early and cheap. So I use the shaman, Seething song and Geosurge. But I see the Braid of Fire, Khalni Heart Expedition and search for Tomorrow, are there for the mana ramp in this deck.

Will definitely get myself a set of Braid of Fire, Dragonmaster Outcast and Crucible of Fire if I ever find any :P

Very nice deck :-)

I would try focus the deck a bit more, if you have the cards. Infect also tends to want to run quite fast.

Green Infect suggestions:
Glistener Elf - one drop infect
Mirran Mettle - instant +2/+2 or +4/+4 with metalcraft.
Ranger's Guile - nice protection and provides small boost
Unnatural Predation - small boost and trample. Trample being particularly nice with boosts and infect.

Black infect suggestions:
Phyrexian Crusader - 2/2 infect with first strike
Plague Stinger - 1/1 infect with flying for 1B (Also look at Whispering Specter 1BB)

Blue Suggestions:
Blighted Agent - unblockable infect creature
Viral Drake - flying, infect and can use proliferate ability mutiple times.
Corrupted Resolve - cheaper counterspell if opponent is poisoned.
Tezzeret's Gambit - Proliferate and draw two cards.

All suggestions are standard legal, otherwise there are quite a lot of cards that can be used in a three colour infect.

Hope this helps, and I'll be interested to know how this works out :-)

You are correct in regards to Standard Legal.
In that case I would go with what Somrune said, it may cost one more then the Warpath Ghoul, but Skinrender is nice removal and a 3/3. Otherwise keep the the ghouls until Dark Ascension comes out with something better.

Keeping with standard then I would consider Unnatural Predation.
Its cheap and gives trample, something I wish I had in my mono-black infect :P

Looks like an interesting deck, nice work :-)

Elite Vanguard might be an idea to get a few one drop creatures into the deck.

Have you considered Knight of the Holy Nimbus? I love that knight :D
But if your knights get indestructible he does lose some of his charm :P

Have you considered Giant Growth or Vines of Vastwood?
I would particulary recommend the Vines of Vastwood, essentially the same cost as Titanic Growth, but with the added benefit of hexproof. A pumped up version of Ranger's Guile basically :P

Apostle's Blessing is also a good defence, as well as being a good offence against mono-coloured decks. Anything to get the infect through :D

Contagion Clasp is nice weenie removal, and if the game drags you can proliferate the last few tokens with any extra mana.

Nice work, will be interested to know how this works out :-)

I forgot to mention that the Spikeshot Elder+Claws of Valakut has won me a few games.
All casual games though, but a win is a win :P
Thought of adding a Grafted Exoskeleton (For multi-play particularly) just to zap for the infect of it :D
