G / B infect stompy

[Oak]

I came up whit this build yesterday
have been trying it solo ( sample hands ) and .. i must say... Im Impress !!
this deck can easaly manage turn 2 kill, often turn 3, and almost always turn 4
its Far from Tier 1 - but never the less

i would love comment on the fallowing
here how it goes:

perfect hand
Turn 1 - Forest + Glistener elf
Turn 2 - Forest + 1 [CARDS]Invigorate+ 1 Vines of Vastwood+ 1 mutagenic Growth

not so perfect hand
Turn 1 - Swamp + Inquisition of kozilek(remove potential blocker or removal)
Turn 2 - Forest + Plague Stinger
Turn 3 - Pendelhaven to pump + Rancor + Invigorate + funeral charm ( swing for 10 flying )


Infecters (14)
4 plague stinger
2 Phyrexian Crusader
4 Ichorclaw myr
4 glistener elf


Pump (19)
4 rancor
4 invigorate
4 mutagenic growth
4 vines of vastwood
3 Rouse


Utility /discard (8)
4 funeral charm
4 inquisition of kozilek


Lands (19)
2 Pendelhaven
6 forest
4 verdant catacombs
7 swamp

SideBoard (15)
2 reverent silence
4 Livewire Lash
4 doom blade
4 Nature's Claim
1 Snuff Out

-the discard spell are made to gain tempo, remove their cheap blockers, slow them down
-mycosynth fiend you should win the game before this guy comes in, but if you didnt, your oponet probably already have 5 poison counter on him if you didnt screw up making him a 7/7 infecter for 3

honorable mention:

Black:

[CARDS]Virulent Swipe didnt find the place
Doom Blade dont know what to remove - sideboarded
colorless


Livewire Lash

tezzeret's gambit

Gitaxian Probe

Green:

Revive
= extra vines / invigorate / muta growth
Briar Shield
Seal of Strength
giant growth = classic
BERSERK = got ignored for $ reasons, yes im crying :(

and now is where i hit a wall, i cant seams to find a way to ubgrade this deck
- ps: the fun fact... is that this deck is actualy pretty budgety !!!

Hello there,

First of all you are gonna absolutely need creature removal MD. Use snuff outs as they are free.Your only creature with almost certain evasion is plague stinger and you are also gonna need inkmoth nexus too and probably blighted agent. Crusader is good ability wise but as a 3 cc i never liked him much in legacy. He is slow, very slow. By turn 3 you are already dead. You have zero counter magic and you are COMPLETELY vulnerable to any attack and this deck is very fragile. You also have zero mana acceleration. If you wish you can put some lotus petals. They work very well.
Your discard effects while good are not enough imo. Funeral charm is good as a utility spell as well but alone it can only be used by the crusader without killing him. Maybe thoughtseizein this slot? hymn to tourach maybe good but it eats up all your mana. I havent tested this one yet. How has rancor worked for you? It seems very nice. lasty berserk is awesome but yeah very expensive. I dont have it either.

My approach to the deck was to use free counter spells. All 3 of them daze, force and misstep along with brainstorm as 4 ofs. Here is m deck list

Creatres (12)

4Blighted agent
4plague stinger
4glistener elf

Spells (32)

4invgorate
4berserk
4mutagenic growth
4might of old krossa
4force of will[/card]
4[cards]daze
4mental misstep
4brainstorm

Lands (17)

4verdant catacomb
4misty rainforest
3inkmoth nexus
4tropical island
2underground sea

The worst thing for my deck is when they manage to kill my first 2 crtitters. Its a huge set back and it pretty hard to recover. I haven't tested any creature removals yet MD but i guess snuff outs might come in handy. As far lands are concerned you can use shock lands with almost no drawback because your are very fast but you are gonna need 4 more fetches for sure.

[Kinderschreck]

I don't get it...Why aren't you playing any Bersekers in all those green aggro decks?! With Berserk you can easily kill turn 2-3, even when they have a blocker.

[mooN_MTG]

I perfer the folowing list:

4 MIsty Rainforest
4 Inkmoth Nexus
2 Pendelhaven
2 Verdant Catacombs
1 Bayou
1 Underground Sea
1 Island
1 Forest
3 Tropical Island

(19 Lands)


4 Blighted Agent
3 Noble Hierarch
3 Glistener Elf
2 Plague Stinger

(12 Creatures)


4 Brainstorm
4 Mental Misstep
4 Force of Will
3 Daze
4 Invigorate
4 unstable Mutation
3 Berserk
3 Rancor

(29 Creatures)


1 Glistener Elf
1 Plague Stinger
3 Spell Pierce
3 Pithing Needle
2 Krosan Grip
2 Umezawa's Jitte
1 Thrun, the Last Troll
1 Misdirection
1 Dispel

With that list you have counterspells (MM, FOW, Daze), you have the most powerfull card in the format (Brainstorm), and still it is a Infect Deck, and is very eficient!

[MirrorMask]

Hmm yeah not bad.I don't think noble hierarch is needed that much as he doesn't produce black mana (exalted is nice though, i must admit) and probably lotus petals are better mana wise. I also disagree with unstable mutation though. If you are gonna play a creature enchantment then you should only play rancor as it never dies and also gives trample. mutagenic growth needs more attention from you guys. Have you tested it? Well i did on friend of mine and he really got pissed off :P . The deck is NOT as consistent as it seems but it pisses ppl off pretty often not to like it :) hehehe. We still have a long way to make a T1 deck. Have you guys tested it with any of the swords? How about you moon_mtg? Is jitte worthy?

p.s Jitte really ruins your day if it slips through your counters. I ve lost 90% of the matches because of it. You can counter one or two removals but Jitte has a continuous effect.

I've been playing with this some as well, and I think the deck is way more solid in just green and blue. Blighted Agent is too good not to use in here, and it's not worth having a third color just for a few Plague Stingers.

I played around with Mutagenic growth, but I can't say that I was ever happy with it. It's great that it was free, but I found that I would way rather pay 1 mana for the extra +2/+2 I could get from Might of Old Krossa or Ground Swell. This might be because I've been testing with 4 Noble Hierarch and I've had extra mana to spare.

Also, I haven't seen anyone else running Distortion Strike (I hope I did that right, this is my first post), which I know seems kind of hypocritical to bring up after complaining about only getting +2/+2 from Mutagenic Growth, but I like the surprise unblockableness that it brings with a little extra boost as well.

[Mr Pirakos]

Blighted Agent is very good but sticking with the GB idea I'd probably go with something like this:

//Lands
4 Bayou
4 Overgrown Tomb
4 Verdant Catacomb
3 Other Fetchlands
1 Pendlehaven
4 Inkmoth Nexus

//Creatures
4 Glistener Elf
4 Virulent Sliver

//Pump
4 Berserk
4 Invigorate
4 Mutagenic Growth
4 Rouse

//Hate
4 Thoughtseize
4 Dismember
3 Inquisition of Kozilek
3 Maelstrom Pulse
2 Krosan Grip

//Sideboard
4 Mental Misstep
3 Extirpate
3 Choke
3 Pithing Needle
2 Krosan Grip

[whienot]

Virulent Sliver doesn't work the way you want it to. Poison is not the same as infect. No matter how much damage the sliver does, the player will only receive 1 poison counter.
