Deck Description

This deck won me regionals and it should win you too!

Here is how it works with the ideal hand (1 Phyrexian Crusader, 1 Birds of Paradise, 2 Groundswell, 2 Forest, and 1 Swamp):

T1: Play a Forest then tap to play Birds of Paradise.
T2: Play a Swamp then tap all land and the Bird for a Swamp to summon Phyrexian Crusader.
T3: Play a Forest then swing with the Crusader (if they let it through which they probably will) tap the two Forest to play two Groundswells on the Crusader for the game!

Deck discussion for Regionals Winning Infect

This is a great example of how non-budget infect should look. The only suggestion I have is personal preference.

The Blight Dragon, how about sideboarding that as it's situationally used now as it is. Your summary states the plan quite well, so having a 5 CC in your opening hand can't help your cause. Necropede, as inexpensive as it is, might help your speed cause even more. Or, simply more pump.

Again, it's a personal preference, but if you're anticipating your opponent dead before the Blight Dragon hits the board, why have them maindecked?

It's a safety net. A just incase factor. Not everything goes as planned. No fetch land?

I used the Harrows and I sacked the Viridian Emissarys to the Imp to look for lands.

I'd say this is a very nice deck, the only thing I would wanna change is adding in some Verdant Catacombs to ensure you have the best chance at a turn one Birds.

I think that it is so dumb that people are over looking infect right now.

This is a great deck, dude. The only thing that I don't like about it is that it's G/B infect.. which is what everyone else is doing with infect. I don't know, I just try to stay fairly original whenever I build a deck.

I love your deck. however i would add 4x Throne of Geth. That can be an instant win!

I misread the Throne. I built a version of your deck, just wanted to give some credit. Check it out:
