Hey fellow infecters !
This subject seems quite dead but the discord channel is not very active either...
Sooooooo...
Two things : IMHO the perfect list ATM is very close to this one, played by a Japanese comrade.
For fun, but not only, I've been focusing on tuning my 75 Mono Green Infect quite close from my orignal list (above).
I top8ed a tournament (25 players) with it and won another one (without top8).
I've tried several versions, from extremely agressive ones to more tempo ones.
It turns out that if you go straight to the point, you have better results.
I would be happy to answer your questions about it :
18 lands :
4 nexus
3 wasteland
3 forest
5 fetchlands
2 yavimaya cradle of growth
1 pendelhaven
16 creatures :
4 noble hierarch
4 glistener elf
4 ichorclaw myr
3 allosaurus shepherd
1 viridian corrupter
3 enchants :
3 sylvan library
21 Instants :
4 Invigorate
4 berserk
4 Vines of Eastwood
4 Once upon a time
3 apostle's blessing
1 Crop rotation
1 Become Immense
2 Sorceries
1 Scale Up
1 Greensun's zenith
Sideboard :
3 Endurance
3 Force of Vigor
3 Veil of Summer
2 Run afoul
2 Gut Shots
2 Pithing Needle
The sideboard can also include Karakas, Collector Ouphe, Beast Within...
The ideas I had in mind when I've come to the list above :
- I want to play lots of the best green card ever printed : Sylvan Library. And use it until I can't, meaning playing the deck like a MonoGreen Suicide.
It means that I had to have, also, enough shuffling effects, such as fetch lands, crop rotation and GSZ
- I want to kill faster to see the fear in my opponent's eyes, to smell him sweat
To do so, I needed 2 playsets of the combo but also more pump spells in general
- I want to surprise.
Most of the time, my opponent expect to meet daze of FOW, so they play differently and, therefore, badly. I've won tons of game with Apostle's blessing paid with only nexus up (it's like being full tap with UG).
- I don't want to handle with things.
The only exception is GSZ/OUAT for Allosaurus to protect the one shot combo or to find Corrupter in case of Plague Engineer maindeck. But those two cards can easily been replaced by 2 more pumps.
- 2021 has brought us two incredible weapons : Allosaurus Shepherd and Endurance. They both fit perfectly in the deck.
