Yes livewire lashs do help and yes they do damage in infect. The text says "Equipped creature gets +2/+0 and has 'Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell this creature does 2 damage to target creature or player' " . Which basically means whatever text is in the creature card the "Whenever....." is added to it, so the creature does damage in the form of infect counters. Also if you dont seem to believe that here's another way of putting it, it is saying the creature is doing damage and well the text on the card says the creature does damage in the form of poison counters to players and in the form of -1/-1 counters to creatures. So however you look at it, it will work. It's just stuff to get past walls of creatures. What is also good is the combo of Distortion strike and the livewire lash. You play the distortion strike, the lash equipment effect goes off and you deal the damage then swing because it will become unblockable. So lets say a glistener elf has the equipment, it's a 3/1 and with the equipment and you play the distortion strike. It becomes a 4/1 unblockable and now you have poison to dish out and choose the player. Right off the bat you got two on him then you swing, if the creature lives you already have 6 and at the beginning of your next upkeep the rebound lets you shoot him for more if the creature is still alive. Just ideas to help ya out.
