Tourney Infect B/U control

by tgtony on 26 February 2011

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (7 cards)

Sorceries (3)

Instants (4)

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

Heres what I think a tourney quality infect deck would look like. Please critique~~~!

Win condition is Quicksilver Gargantuan coming onto the board and taking place as a 7/7 with infect, hopefully with flying as well (plague stinger), however your opponent should be dead before turn 4 or 5 if that. Throw on Distortion Strike and Virulent Swipe one mana a piece with rebound and you will have an un-blockable avg of 4 or 5 and with Vampire's Bite even 7 un-blockable poison. Coupled with blue controls cards, your opponent wont want to play you again.

Again please critique!

Nice Stuff, only problem is, some of the cards you have are pricey. This deck run around $50, the only pricey cards are the lands, thats it. Your deck looks interesting to play though! I want to make a deck that fully utilizes proliferate, I just cant find a way to make it a turn 8 win or something like that.

I'm also tinkering with a standard infect deck.

For your deck I like Plague Myr. It can help power out Quicksilver Gargantuan

In my play tests, I have always gotten my infect creatures when I need them, I might tweek a bit here and there, but the point of a U/B infect control deck is to have an even split between control and agro.

Do what the man says, it will benefit you.
What if someone destroys all your creatures and you just draw into spells the rest of the game? It's happened to me and it was a waste of time finishing that game.
YOU NEED 19 creatures at least! since you do want the control.
I would remove 3 Negate, 3 Preordain, 3 Island and 3 Stoic Rebuttal
and add 3 Halimar Depths (since infect doesn't really have a one drop yet),
bump up both my to 3 (1 Ichorclaw, 1 Plague), 4 Phyrexian Crusader, and if you do want proliferate add a couple Thrumming Bird and Tainted Strikes (which would make use of your Tar Pit) , but if not add 2 Necropede and 1 Mana Leak.
Day of Judgement completely screws with infect, especially when you have such a low amount of creatures.
Check out my U/B Infect, it might help you out, though it's not perfect yet.

Corrupted Conscience is a must in this deck. Yes it's expensive but with Quicksilver in here it's negligible and the ability to destroy an opponent's Creature combo and possibly add a massive infect creature to your arsenal is priceless

virtulent wound 1 mana 1 -1/-1 counter and if it kills a poison counter
also you have blue and no thrumming birds if you run those and a phryesis (know that i spelled that wrong) then you can have a 1/1 infect flying that poliferates after it hits
also inexorable tides its a five mana card but it poliferates every time you play a spell helps deal with the lack of creatures, and last but not least yet an other blue is corrupted coinsense once again five mana but its a mind control that gives the creature infect make it totally worth the mana
Sorry about the spelling mistakes all of them
