Deck discussion for Infect (Modern)

Might of Alara is only +2/+2 at best as you only have two basic land types.
I'd recommend cutting these for Might oif Old Krosa or Giant Growth. Also, Mutagenic Growth is much needed. It's one of the best cards in the deck.

Inkmoth Nexus as well is a must. You almost can't play without it. I'm a big fan of unblockable, but with Blighted Agent, I'm not sure you'll need the 4 Slip Through Space on top of the 3 Distortion Strike.

Explore is a neat card, but I'm not sure it fits the archetype. Is this in replacement of Noble Hierarch? If Hierarch is outside of your price range, might I suggest Birds of Paradise?

Infect is a very cool deck that can go really far. Keep up the builds!

I second removing Might of Alara for Might of Old Krosa and also cutting a couple of unblockable spells.

Inkmoth Nexus won't work as this is tagged as a budget deck and Nexus isn't excactly cheap. Same goes for Birds, though I agree Explore isn't really doing it in this deck type.

Vines of Vastwood and Blossoming Defense kinda fills out the same role, so I'm not sure about running the full 4 of each. You may want to switch some of them for the Apostle's Blessings in the board as Blessing gives you protection from removal and also lets you both attack or block safely.

Finally, consider Become Immense. Even after the Gitaxian Probe being banned you'd be surprised how often Become Immense is 1CMC. For me, having played a lot of infect, I'd say it's close to one of the best spells in this kind of deck.

Ah, I forgot about Become Immense. Incredibly good as a 2-3-of

I'm stupid! I totally misread Might of Alara. I thought it was each basic land, not type :(
That said, Explore is not that helpful then, since you can handle the deck quite good with a few lands

Going to replace them with your suggestions. Thanks a lot!!!

BT, I've replaced Slip Through Space and Distortion Strike with Aqueous Form. Haven't tested yet but I think Scry on every attack could help quite a lot.
