I know that black infect isn't the best infect but it's something I really like. I've managed to finally get some money to be able to make somewhat decent and replace proxies with actual cards. This is what I have, it's for modern. Most of my wins was dumping a bunch of infect on them on one turn with a Mutagenic Growth and/or Funeral Charm so I am going less of a control route and more of just a blaze of glory. I do have enough to get Thoughtseizes and Liliana of the Veils.

Bugsy posted:I'm not sure you have enough infectors to make Hand of the Preator's second ability that great so Vatmother might be a better creature in that spot. Runechanter's pike seems like it could give you a big boost to a single creature since you have a lot of discard/kill spells. Disfigure is a great kill spell and it hits a ton of stuff in modern so you might want to try some of them somewhere. Mutagenic, Vampire, and Funeral Charm aren't enough? That's not including Praetors and Cathedral's continuous thing. Runechanter Pike and Disfigure are both good suggestions and I'll hem and haw over replacing Preator with Vatmother.

C-Euro posted:I was reminded of this in the main thread, but a dude at my LGS runs monoblack aggro in Modern in the form of a 95% SOM/INN-standard zombie deck, and it is a bitch to beat- I was considering going BG infect to get Glistener Elf and the better pump spells. I was afraid it would be out of my price range because I just can't get the fetches right now but I think I could just use Overgrown Tomb, Woodland Cemetery, Urborg, Pendelhaven, Inkmoth, and some basics. Although the Noble Hierarch would also be out of my price range so I'm not sure it's worth it.

C-Euro posted:I'm torn on Phyrexian Crusader - I've not played Infect but three mana seems steep considering how fast the deck can be. However it also dodges a lot of the more ubiquitous removal so I see the value. Are there any other two-drops with Infect that you could put there and then move Crusader to the sideboard? Would going uGB for Blighted Agent be too silly? I might sketch that out when I get home from work... I'm purposefully avoiding blue. I was thinking about blighted agent but then that brings the whole mess of blue and counterspells and having to adjust my mana for it. There is Ichorclaw Myr which is a 2 drop and can benefit from Pendelhaven.

C-Euro posted:Well I was asking why there's no BUG lists in Modern a page or two ago which is why I mentioned splashing blur, so maybe I'm biased. I've seen a lot of BUG Infect lists while looking for BG and the reason I don't go that route is because they all seem to have a full set of Misty Rainforest, Verdent Catacombs, shocks, and Noble Hierarch and that's just out of my budget. And the only benefit I see out of that is they include Blighted Agent and maybe Distortion Stroke in the sideboard. Konstantin posted:You can't afford to run Swamps, and should only have 1 Urborg at the most. Use painlands, City, and Confluence if you can't afford shocks and fetches. You absolutely need to go pump spell into kicked Vines, and that requires a lot of green. Other than that, it's a decent list if you insist on not running blue. I'd add in 2 Apostle's Blessing and cut Cage from the SB now that Pod is banned. I will include the Apostle's in the sideboard instead of Cage and look at the cards for changing my manabase.

Elyv posted:Two questions: It was originally mono-b infect and then I shifted to G/B. Most lists with blue have fetches and Hierarchs and only provide Blighted Agent. The one deck that had Lingering Souls I didn't win. Albeit there were other factors involved. I'm still piloting it against other decks to get a feel for it. If I were to go U/G and couldn't afford fetches or Hierarchs what would be a good list?

I feel I need the toughness from the green pump spells in case I need to protect one of my critters and also my pump spells give me 4/4 or has some benefit for less stats. Vampire's Bite is basically just B: Give 3/0 because I have never gotten the life gain off.

So I made a weird mono-black infect thing. I'm unsure if I should replace Vatmother with Ichorclaw. If I do that I could bring in some Pendelhaven. I know Vampire's Bite is a weird inclusion and if it doesn't work out I'll probably stick it in the sideboard and bring in Raven's Crime.

C-Euro posted:I don't think Vampire's Bite is that weird, you are trying to kill your opponent through combat damage after all I know there's a mono-black control deck that uses infect as the win condition instead of damage due to no hand size but I'm a boring person and I like the beat people over the head quickly. I would really like to try this in a FNM/small tournament setting to see how it goes because I mostly just do free play kinda stuff. If Raven's Crime is too grindy what would be good sideboard material? Dismember? Geth's Verdict?

Though if your gameplan is to plink away at a defenseless opponent then you might be better off with more disruption instead of fast damage. If you wanted to you could even get rid of the Vatmothers and run even more disruption, and do a more control/Pox-like spin on Infect. That would be pretty interesting.

I switched back to B/G Infect. This gives me a lot more speed and reactivity. I kept Crusader over Ichorclaw because the former has more protection than the latter.

I was in my first FNM modern on Friday. I went 1-3, losing to Ad Nauseum and Flashback burn, winning against Tron. I was running a B/G deck that wasn't fast enough to kill really quick but not controlling enough to survive long and I've decided to switch up to something else. My issue is whether the Vatmother are strong enough to use or if I should go with Ichorclaw Myr for the speed. Deck: Mono Black Infect //Creatures 4 Phyrexian Crusader 4 Phyrexian Vatmother 4 Plague Stinger 1 Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon //Spells 4 Duress 4 Funeral Charm 4 Inquisition of Kozilek 3 Night's Whisper 1 Runechanter's Pike 3 Vampire's Bite 4 Victim of Night //Lands 2 Cathedral of War 4 Inkmoth Nexus 16 Swamp 2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth //Sideboard 3 Apostle's Blessing 4 Devour Flesh 2 Extirpate 2 Grafdigger's Cage 2 Pithing Needle 2 Tectonic Edge

I would like help piloting an infect deck. I'm goldfishing and I don't know if I should start the game with a tapland (Woodland Cemetery) or an Inkmoth Nexus. My hand is the following: Woodland Cemetery, Vines of Vastwood, Night's Whisper, Inkmoth Nexus, Might of Old Krosa, Mutagenic Growth, Phyrexian Crusader. I'm thinking the tapland.

Fingers McLongDong posted:Definitely shouldn't be using any taplands. If it's purely for budget concerns then that's understandable, but Llanowar Wastes are relatively cheap after being reprinted twice in the last year. In the case of the hand you presented, yes play the tapland. If someone tries to fulminator/ghost quarter your inkmoth you can at least tap it to activate itself and then cast vines on it. I can get some Llanowar Wastes but the G/B fetch lands are out of my price range. Fingers McLongDong posted:If he's not wanting to pay out for fetches I don't think horizon canopy will be an option lol Horizon Canopy is definitely not an option.

I'm thinking about putting together a mono-u tron deck since I have some of the more expensive pieces like Wurmcoil and Oblivion Stone. However, my LGS doesn't have any of them in the meta, just a couple RG Tron. Is it worse? Did something happen recently that made it a bad deck? This is the deck list I came up with: Deck: Mono Blue Tron

numerrik posted:http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/361505#paper Like others have said, Goblin Guide and Eidolon of the Great Revel are extremely good but pricy (especially the Guides). Monastery Swiftspears are also really good. Without fetches I wouldn't bother with Searing Blaze, if you need a similar effect then Searing Blood works. Zurgo Bellstriker might be another creature to look at, or Ash Zealot. But to be honest I would stick a second color in the deck. Green gives you Atarka's Command and sideboard Destructive Revelry. White gives you Boros Charm, Lightning Helix, and sideboard Kor FIrewalker, Wear // Tear, Deflecting Palm, and Path to Exile. I've found there's a pretty standard list of cards depending on if you want to go Boros, Gruul, or Naya. Mono-red burn isn't that great since you have to go for cards like Magma Jet.

Ash Zealot and Keldon Marauders are faster and not expensive. Elyv posted:I mean, the problem for me is specifically 4x volley in a deck with 18 land.
