    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    On average, what's the critical turn with that list? Distorted Curiosity is in the slot I usually use for Sylvan Library, and I pretty much always paid 4 to 8 life off Library to set up for a kill....

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    Rotpriest seems pretty busted to me, so I would start the testing with four copies. Infect is very good at getting to 8 poison but can struggle to get the last hit in. This card makes it so...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    That list seems incredibly soft to Chalice of the Void. There are answers in the board, but it's not where I would like to be at this time. I'm curious what field your friend was expecting. The deck...

    Re: [DTB] U/G Infect

    I was really high on that card when it was spoiled, but I haven't been happy with it in real matches, so I went back to Vines of Vastwood.

    Re: [DTB] U/G Infect

    No it's not. Energy Field is a flimsy eggshell of a shield that virtually every opposing deck can disable simply by interacting with you, whether that's countering any spell, Wastelanding any land,...

    Re: [DTB] U/G Infect

    Can you give some examples? Is this a MTGO thing? I haven't seen a trend. I checked on TC Decks and saw a great variety of boarding strategies represented, including Thing in the Ice(!). In general,...

    Re: [DTB] U/G Infect

    @TheHeff:

    1) Yes, that seems reasonable if you don't have weaker candidates for cutting. Sylvan Library is a crucial card to have against slower combo decks, such as Aluren, but I board it out vs....

    Re: [DTB] U/G Infect

    I play against ANT probably two or three times per month, and I don't encounter Xantid Swarm much in this matchup. If I did, I would probably have Swords in postboard. My impression is that ANT...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    Yeah, Ghost Quarter seems like a good suggestion. I'm assuming the guy is on a budget. Gotta say, though, Wastelands are comparatively very cheap now, so it's a great time to buy.

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    Wasteland is the only out to Glacial Chasm. If you don't play against that card regularly, then you could skip it. I find Wasteland to be much stronger than a basic Forest. I also find the second...

    Because Lands plays Exploration and Manabond and lots of copies of Stage and Depths and has the Crop Rotations and Gambles to find them, making a Turn 2 or Turn 3 Marit Lage with reliable frequency....

    I don't bring in Swords to Plowshares for Shardless or Jund. I bring in Rest in Peace for both matchups. Yes to bringing in Swords vs. Maverick due to Ethersworn Canonist. I bring in Swords vs. DNT...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    I'd like to get everyone's opinions on sideboarding against Miracles, since there are lots of variations of that deck seeing play and all can board somewhat differently.
