The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Fast infect with Heartless Summoning. Necropede sets off Hand of the Praetors and gives them a -1-1 counter. Throne of Geth to sac Necrpede to proliferate then use Corpse Cur and Glissa to reanimate Necropede to keep setting off Hand of the Praetors. Skithyrx for mid-late game win. All suggestions welcome :-)

Update - 1/11/11:
-1 Glissa, the Traitor
-1 Go for the Throat
+1 Throne of Geth
+1 Core Prowler

Deck discussion for [standard] Heartless Infection

Problem being, Hand of the Praetors gives your infect creatures +1/+1, which means that the -1/-1 from Heartless Summoning is negated, and you still have a 1/1 Necropede that doesn't die and cannot be cycled.

Another thing that Id like to bring up as a good idea would be the use of Grim Affliction. With all of the -1/-1 counters going on, and the poison, great way to kill off creatures and trigger Glissa.

I see your point, but it's not as powerful as Go for the Throat or Doom Blade for creature removal. But I'm still contemplating the idea.

I think you could do better off dropping Beast Within for it, actually. Stays on the same mana cost, and even if it doesn't kill that 3/3 or larger, it does do a lot of damage, and you have plenty of direct removal with the Blades and GftT.

I decided to add in 2 Core Prowler instead of the Grim Afflictions as they costs less to play if I have Heartless Summoning out, virtually do the same thing and I can use them as a decent blocker.

hand of praetors also have a second effect......remember his insta-poison....so what ever creature is put out and HoP was allowed to be out, then insta-poison effect....

As Lepellier stated above me the -1 and +1 cancel eachother out so throne of geth would solve this and add move poison power

Since you only have 60 cards I would suggest throwing you Melira, Sylvok Outcast into the deck to negate the -1/-1s then u just have cheap creatures.

No because the wording of Melira, Sylvok Outcast says "you can't have -1-1 counters placed on your creatures" and the wording of Heartless Summoning says "creatures you control get -1-1". The difference is that Heartless Summonings ability remains static. It's not putting -1-1 counters on my creatures. Therefore that wouldn't work. But if what u said was the case then I would put her in.

I replaced the Viridian Emissary with more lands as I didn't need to ramp, I just needed enough land to play Heartless Summoning by the time I draw it.
