A great card to put into any infect deck that you don't seem to have is Mutagenic Growth. I know it's green BUT the pay 2 life is almost essentual in infect. Almost every infect deck is incomplete without them

Mana ramp is great but not nessesary in infect too much If I remember, Corpse Cur is 4 mana while Necropede is 2, Necropede. Your mana curve can mean the difference between an average deck and a good deck with infect
All decks seem to have that problem. In some form or another The only thing that can happen is either counter it, make your creatures indestructable, give them protection from a colour and/or suck it up, and move on
May I just say that the reason that people play green infect is because of the speed. That aside this is a pretty good infect deck. I'd swap Plague Myr for Lost Leonin
Scrap the cluestones. They are not very good at ALL, your better off with a Keyrune. They are more useful in aggro anyway
However, they may have changed the legality in that time.....
I DON'T believe that because something is reprinted in Modern Masters, makes it legal. It's like saying that Rakdos Cackler is illegal in standard but when they brought out the promotional one, it's legal again all of a sudden. To me Modern Masters is just a really expensive promotion of old cards
The problem with a creature/land like Inkmoth Nexus, and no insane amount of buff, and having normal life draining creature/lands is that you need to effectively attack with 10 Inkmoths. Point being though, I've been told by several people, you're either playing infect, or, you're not Other than that, good job! This one should be funny
Didn't think about him So, what do I swap for him
I hear you there, various people I've played have a decent deck that's hard to beat, proxy half of it and stop using it the next week! I mean come on, people, play the entire deck or go home! But, point there aside, I'm proxying some of my own decks to see if they properly work before I buy some of the cards because a lot of them have $5+ cards, and I don't have that kind of money
My local games shop though doesn't run extended tournaments, and at the momen there's barely a modern one on. So there is a point in dbinazeksi's comment
All you really need for this is a set of 60 sleves and a printer. If you go to the link marked: Proxy this deck you can try out the deck and you don't have to go out and buy all of the cards. Although, if you want to start playing it in tournaments, start saving now. Proxying a deck is a good way to try a deck without the waste of hundreds of dollars if you don't like it.
Since you have red lands, and Mind Sculpt, take out the Mind Scultps and add Breaking//Entering in their place Breaking adds 1 card into the mill, but you have to have a swamp (not a problem for you I'm guessing) and Entering returns a creature from ANY graveyard and gives it to you WITH HASTE!
Another card that I would recommend is Mutagenic Growth, but it is a modern card now... :(
For now I guess. But play a few games with it in there before making a final decision
I'd have BOTH Giant Growth and Phytoburst. I run both in a tournament infect. I have Titanic on the sideboard. If your opponent is helpless, then Phytoburst is a much better option. Infact 9/10 times I would choose phytoburst and put Titanic in the sideboard
But it works.... And its at least 8 cards in the graveyard
I've tried making an esper deck based around this strategy. The only problem is it didn't work, not because of mana, what I was drawing in the process. It DOES work, you just have to give it a chance
I would personally find a way for more aberration and maybe some cypher onto Mirko. Paranoid Delusions + Mirko + Aberraitons = pissed off opponent
I'm tempted to build my own version of this deck now. Good on you for showing those who have little lands up!
