Infect... INFECT! You are pillagers of good morals and plunderers of high standards!!! What will the neighbors say when they find out you've been playing Glissa?
Personally I would have added blue. For example, Blighted Agent, Corrupted conscience, Fuel for the Cause and maybe distortion strike. I feel like blue is an infect color along side black and green. Cool episode anyway!
You forgot the best card of all. It's name describes how your play group will feel about you: Hatred - 3BB, instant, Pay X life, target creature gets +X/+0 until end of turn. One swing kills are fun... for at least one side of the table.
Yay! That's exactly what I was asking for! Glad to see that most things I play take place in this deck. However, instead of using cards whith Split Second(which I occasionaly don't have) I prefer to stick around whith artifacts that either give your creatures edge in combat or let them do direct damage to players. Can't wait to see more possible Infect decks!
I love that playing a Commander game with an Infect deck immediately turns the game into the Coalition vs Phyrexia. I, for one, stand with our fleshy machine overlords
I just built a Damia infect control deck. It runs pretty much nothing but infect creatures and all the spells are counters, removal, or fog effects and the majority of artifacts are ramp so it basically draws everything fast, protects itself, and then poisons the opponent insanely fast
Hey! Can you please do a mill deck? I will really appriciate it. thanks! Also, in the deck list you have only 8 lands and Sol Ring is in the maybeboard instead of mainboard.
Oh you spoke about the card but not in the pump section :P The best pumpspell for infect is Invigorate imo it reads: If you control a Forest, rather than pay Invigorate's mana cost, you may have an opponent gain 3 life. Target creature gets +4/+4 until end of turn. Oh and it's green and 2 to hardcast but you will never do that anyways.
Im making a glissa deck, but a totally different build around, Im going for mindslaver loops. So it goes vedalken orrery, seed bourne muse, mind slaver and glissa, basically allows to mind slave every player unlimited amount of times and it will run entomb and all the tutors to find mind slaver consistetly, play emrakul because of the flavour and sorrin for its ultimate.
Can we get an updated infect deck, with Atraxa as its commander/general? She not only gives access to infect creatures from other colors (notably Blighted Agent), but also has proliferate, which seems more in sync with the strategy. I'm working on one now, and would love a deck tech video- the few I have found don't really focus on the strategy in the same way that Craig seems to do.
Hi guys, this is my old Mimeoplasm deck that I took apart but it would be awesome to here your guys' opinions on it tappedout.net/mtg-decks/infection-spree/
i once use tainted strike to give niv mizzet infect then drew 10 cards for game once, i also have it in that deck to just throw on an attacking creature that would either deal 10 damage (auto kill) or to save a person from lethal (in exchange for them getting poison counters that target doesnt lower their life total)
Hey guys, I've really been loving infect in general. Do you guys think you could do a deck archetype video with Craig as a guest star?.....even though you said this is the only video you'll ever do on infect at 3:14.......I really hope you guys reconsider that.....
mimic vat. purely to help flicker ichor rats or spinebiter. would up the power level a lot, also rouge passage, just to add an evasion to your critter without evasion.???
5:07-5:10 "you turn yourself into a target" no, i had an EDH game where i was focused down, and the infect guy came in first because no one touched his boardstate to focus me. It's really hard to fend off 3 players already and then the one player plays infect where apparently you cannot prevent the infect on you at all unless you use "removal"
I'm a fan of grimoire of the dead. get control of all creatures that died during the game. definitely a good offense and defense. forces your opponent to choose between getting hit hard or poisoned
I am new to magic and entering through the door of EDH and looking for new decks to make. Will a Dragonlord Kolaghan infect deck be viable? Gives all the creatures haste even though its second ability is only useful against a rat deck. Red also gives access to Chandra's Ignition that makes it easier to spread the love (and if you ever pull off Blightsteel with it).
Richard Suplee While I hate to endorse a Dragonlord Kolaghan deck for EDH, yes that does sound like it would work. Although honestly Xenagos infect gives you the same stuff AND has green which is perhaps a stronger infect color than black. Let us know how it turns out!
Thanks. I am debating between Green and Black for it. The main reason I wanted black was due to instances that make creatures infect and I am already working on a Rosheen deck in the same colors and I am slowly trying to explore the color pie.
Me listening in 2018: Craig Blanchette. Sounds familiar...OH! Craig...(from game knights)...in a video about infect. Yeah okay this makes all the sense. XD
I'm kind of surprised to not see Unwinding Clock on this list. It seems it's go really well with your artifact Proliferate engines. Also, only 8 lands?
Split Second doesn't prevent triggered abilities, right? So if tapping for mana can get you an effect, would that go on top of the stack involving the Split Second effect?
You have that backwards; split second cant be responded to cause split second resolves before any and all spells/abilities on the stack. Even if you try to counter krosan grip, the counter wont resolve until k-grip has.
Could you do a sidisi undead viser deck tech ? I'm working on building her in real life just having a lot of problems trying to get all the cards I need . And honestly I'm not sure how to win if she is my commander . Cuz all she does is exploit to tutor
My thinkin with sidisi is a sac creatures and reanimate them with like rise of the dark realms etc . But I still can't figure how I'm gonna win while I'm just sacing my creatures and sacing your creatures . It's just Like my dragon lord Silumgar deck I can do all kinds of cool things steal your cards etc but can't figure how to get the finishing blow
What are his other EDH Commanders for infect? Mimeoplasm? I know I have a friend who has some infect creatures to exile in his mimeoplasm deck. I'm sure I'll think "duh" once I know hahaha. btw: love the podcasts! It's nice to have the youtube vids and rocketjump for those of us who don't have Itunes and don't want to have to make an account just to listen to a podcast. Though I wish I could review you guys, both because you guys are awesome and because free stuff is cool haha.
Well I obviously know skithiryx is great (yay turn three kills?) but I was wondering what his others were. That nekusar deck sounds like it sucks to play against if you don't have spot Removal. It's kind of like why narset is so hard to deal with. You basically must blow up the board to deal with her but if you do the narset player just gained a ton of value... then again, if you don't, the narset player just gained a ton of value.
Infect decks as well as consistent insta-win combo decks are fun but for a VERY limited amount of time. After you kill someone turn 3 for the 5th time, neither you nor the other players are having fun anymore.
for all of you including you Josh Lee kwai Anyone who wishes to talents me do so now at his junk her Treasures follow the map and GPS look for Coos Bay North Bend Oregon look for me there I'll be worn a one-handed hand-held skeleton glove halloween-related
Josh Lee kwai Just so you know I could beat anyone in Commander and I tend to win my combo unbeatable involves the squirrel indestructible can't be countered squirrel and once you see it you finished you see me and my deck You're finished really you'll be finished I will win
Josh Lee kwai Anyone that follows you you will be finished and you will fall before my might and you will lose all of you including you and your friends could you Josh Lee kwai
need an updated infect episode :)
Infect... INFECT! You are pillagers of good morals and plunderers of high standards!!! What will the neighbors say when they find out you've been playing Glissa?
+docterfantazmo remove this video from youtube for encourgeing playing infect. at least it's not affinity. or tron.
main topic @6:00
Personally I would have added blue. For example, Blighted Agent, Corrupted conscience, Fuel for the Cause and maybe distortion strike. I feel like blue is an infect color along side black and green. Cool episode anyway!
So one year later, we getting another infect deck ;)?
You forgot the best card of all. It's name describes how your play group will feel about you:
Hatred - 3BB, instant, Pay X life, target creature gets +X/+0 until end of turn.

Can't wait to see more possible Infect decks!
the two I love:Infect and Mill
Leeches
1WW
Sorcery
Oracle Text:
Target player loses all poison counters. Leeches deals that much damage to that player.
GreenGod223
from homelands
I love that playing a Commander game with an Infect deck immediately turns the game into the Coalition vs Phyrexia. I, for one, stand with our fleshy machine overlords
Someone else who shares the same dream as me
I just built a Damia infect control deck. It runs pretty much nothing but infect creatures and all the spells are counters, removal, or fog effects and the majority of artifacts are ramp so it basically draws everything fast, protects itself, and then poisons the opponent insanely fast
Hey! Can you please do a mill deck? I will really appriciate it. thanks!
Also, in the deck list you have only 8 lands and Sol Ring is in the maybeboard instead of mainboard.
Chancellor of spires would be a card to look into for mill
Heartless Hidetsugu + Grafted Exoskeleton= game restart.
funny and upsetting at the same time
Oh you spoke about the card but not in the pump section :P
The best pumpspell for infect is Invigorate imo it reads:
If you control a Forest, rather than pay Invigorate's mana cost, you may have an opponent gain 3 life. Target creature gets +4/+4 until end of turn. Oh and it's green and 2 to hardcast but you will never do that anyways.
2,500 subs to 275k. Im proud of yall
300k now hah
Im making a glissa deck, but a totally different build around, Im going for mindslaver loops. So it goes vedalken orrery, seed bourne muse, mind slaver and glissa, basically allows to mind slave every player unlimited amount of times and it will run entomb and all the tutors to find mind slaver consistetly, play emrakul because of the flavour and sorrin for its ultimate.

Hi guys, this is my old Mimeoplasm deck that I took apart but it would be awesome to here your guys' opinions on it
tappedout.net/mtg-decks/infection-spree/
might of oaks + spinebiter...
so sweet...
i once use tainted strike to give niv mizzet infect then drew 10 cards for game once, i also have it in that deck to just throw on an attacking creature that would either deal 10 damage (auto kill) or to save a person from lethal (in exchange for them getting poison counters that target doesnt lower their life total)

I don't know about you guys, whenever I hear about Invigorate, it's because someone mentioned infect, usually Glistner Elf.
I want to see more of Craig’s decks on Game Knights!
mimic vat. purely to help flicker ichor rats or spinebiter. would up the power level a lot, also rouge passage, just to add an evasion to your critter without evasion.???
Jimmy: "You can watch us now. Join the other 2500 people or so. [..] You can listen to it a year from now." And here Im sitting 3 years later :D
5:07-5:10 "you turn yourself into a target" no, i had an EDH game where i was focused down, and the infect guy came in first because no one touched his boardstate to focus me.

Lop i love infect. You had 2500 sub, youre at 70k today lol love the content. Started playing magic again just from watching the podcasts
I know it's quite a bit of work, but I'd really love to see the deck lists? Is there any chance of a TCZ tappedout profile?
Denver Moore We do have one here! tappedout.net/users/CommandCast/
The Command Zone You guys are the best.
The Command Zone awesome!
i have infect as a back up in my Marath, Will of the Wild deck as grafted exoskeleton. i don't think i could ever run it
I listen to your podcasts as I play minecraft :p
I am new to magic and entering through the door of EDH and looking for new decks to make. Will a Dragonlord Kolaghan infect deck be viable?

Also, only 8 lands?
Could you post the Norin decklist? Pleeeaseee
Me listening to it 6 years later 😂
I think you guys may have forgotten a "few" lands in the decklist.
Hey, this sounds like a deck I would wanna use, but how much would it be(roughly) if I went down to my mtg store and bought all the cards?
Split Second doesn't prevent triggered abilities, right? So if tapping for mana can get you an effect, would that go on top of the stack involving the Split Second effect?
You have that backwards; split second cant be responded to cause split second resolves before any and all spells/abilities on the stack. Even if you try to counter krosan grip, the counter wont resolve until k-grip has.
What's the best infect commander?
27:30 kinda a weird reason to not include it in a deck list...
There is actually a card that removes poison counters that is called Leeches.
Can yall do a damia infect deck tech?
You guys should do one on saskia infect?
He puts Kiki jiki in every deck lol . I'm a black player and I have sidisi undead
Viser in most of my decks cuz that's my fave card/ commander lol
Could you do a sidisi undead viser deck tech ? I'm working on building her in real life just having a lot of problems trying to get all the cards I need . And honestly I'm not sure how to win if she is my commander .
Cuz all she does is exploit to tutor
Watching this while you guys have 71k subscribers :)
My thinkin with sidisi is a sac creatures and reanimate them with like rise of the dark realms etc . But I still can't figure how I'm gonna win while I'm just sacing my creatures and sacing your creatures . It's just
Like my dragon lord Silumgar deck I can do all kinds of cool things steal your cards etc but can't figure how to get the finishing blow

Skithiryx is an infect commander
Glissa or skitheryx are your best options imo. Although my friend has a nekusar deck where he just throws infect on nekusar and wheels twice...
victor plitt Give Nekusar infect. That is brutal. And awesome.
But mostly brutal.
victor plitt that's awesome. That's what we want from a commander deck
Well I obviously know skithiryx is great (yay turn three kills?) but I was wondering what his others were. That nekusar deck sounds like it sucks to play against if you don't have spot Removal. It's kind of like why narset is so hard to deal with.

Now that commander 2017 has dropped I think like saskia because she can deal with two players at a time
*that moment when you're so bored you google your name on youtube*
beast master ascension?!
Is infect in edh considered bad etiquette?
Infect overall is a bad ettiquete because its douchy as fuuu
In my play group infect is fine since alot of ppl have infinite combos they can get off before you would even die from Infect.
More infect
Need more infect with craig lol
Listening in 2020 admits the corona virus pandemic the ending don’t get infected XD
for all of you including you Josh Lee kwai
Anyone who wishes to talents me do so now at his junk her Treasures follow the map and GPS look for Coos Bay North Bend Oregon look for me there I'll be worn a one-handed hand-held skeleton glove halloween-related
Come and get me all of you
Even you Josh Lee kwai
