Do you use him against Grixis Delver? I'm assuming no, sacrificing lands against 1-mana interaction, Dazes, and Wastelands seems sketchy.

Zach wrote a little about Safekeeper a few pages back. I'm on mobile so can't really go back and find the link to the post, but the gist for Safekeeper is you are establishing a lock of sorts. You...

I think it's time we ask if Zach is the best Infect pilot around. I know it's been Tom's mantle for years but Zach has consistently been putting up results. I steal his lists and tweak them every...

You say there's only 75 slots. So why play Dryad Arbor? I generally think it's worse than the other 75th card you could play. I cut it over a year ago and have missed it once or twice when I could've...

Congrats on the strong performance! I've been really happy with maining a Flusterstorm too recently. I split my second in the main with Spell Pierce though for the Chalice/Blood Moon type synergies.

Thanks for the tips! I'll try them out.

Congrats on the finish Zach! Your lists are always the ones I end up leaning on. Happy to see you go up to 2 Ponders! I've been on 3 for a while and been loving them.

I've got two questions for...

Sorry yeah I meant from the opponent's point of view trying to figure out why you would attack with both Elf and Agent. Still, there's nothing that Infect could have that makes it right for DnT to...

You technically could have Crop Rotate or Blossoming Defense. Both are pump spells that justify attacking with Elf. They're pretty unlikely though.

For the What's the Play, Crop Rotation and Vines+Land also win on the spot. Vines probably wins it for us as well in response to the Jitte equip. Brainstorm is very live.

Yeah I'm not using Grip anymore. You can use Naturalize, Nature's Claim, or Seal of Primoridium if you still want that effect. Claim is great if you don't need the removal for Chalice and is what I'm...

Huh, that's very counter to my experience playing against DnT. Comparing our deck to Miracles and its counter-suite doesn't make much sense to me. We aren't trying to establish a lock and go long...

I'm only decent with the deck so don't take my word as law but your sideboarding seems fine. I have some comments to think about. One thing is in a lot of matchups I change how I side play vs draw....

I've found Mom to be annoying for Delver. It'll draw Dazes, Bolts, and Pushes without fail and then getting a lethal protected hit through is trivial with Mom in play. If the lists are BUG and not...

I like having a Crop Ratation when I play two Become Immense. Being able to Rotate for a fetchland puts 3 cards in the grave and is mana neutral. If you're going for speed, having that lets you cast...

First, I'm probably keeping that. It's going to be better than most 5's I'd think. You have the mana you need and any Infector will put decent pressure on attacking for 3. If your scry is bad, the...

I always found it helped to consider Wasteland more of a 1-mana spell than a land. If you do cut it, you shouldn't replace it with a Fetch. You should replace it with a Probe, Vines, Ponder, etc....

Huh ok I'll keep it in mind but with the 3 Ponders I've been very happy with one less land. Ponders 2 and 3 count as half a land a piece for me and I still find I'm drawing too many lands.

Where is everyone at with Ponder these days?

At SCG Worcester, there were three infect decks that top 32'd. One had two Ponders, one had none, and one had four. The four Ponder list being...
