You might get some free wins with this card.īlighted Agent helps in some matchups where it can be necessary to have a creature that can’t be blocked. Phyrexian Crusader has protection from red and white to dodge Lightning Bolt, Unholy Heat, Prismatic Ending, Solitude, and Fury. It helps cast Phyrexian Crusader’s double black, allowing you to favor grabbing Breeding Pool instead of Overgrown Tomb for fetching. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth was a late add to the deck. I am trying to maximize an opportunity like this. If I had two Vines of Vastwood in hand, if Yavimaya was a second copy of Breeding Pool for example, I would miss my shot for casting both with kicker on the same turn, which requires four green mana. But this is really to fix the Inkmoth Nexus problem. I noticed that a lot of people have thought Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth was questionable in the deck given that most of the sources were already green. Fetchlands also helps develop the cards needed for delving Become Immense much faster. Having as many fetches is great to search for the blue or black sources needed to cast Blighted Agent or Phyrexian Crusader. I dislike Canopy Lands because they are not fetchable and you take incremental damage for using mana. It’s not necessary to spread them out like this if you don’t have them-full playsets of two of these lands work too. I have two of each to avoid Pithing Needle locking down a particular fetch. Card Choices Manabase:Ĩ Fetchlands: (2 Misty Rainforest, 2 Verdant Catacombs, 2 Windswept Heath, 2 Wooded Foothills) Sometimes you might have to go for regular damage off a Hierarch if you see an opportunity because your pump spells can get you there out of nowhere. This is done with a combination of pump spells ( Scale Up, Might of Old Krosa, Mutagenic Growth, Blossoming Defense, Vines of Vastwood) and exalted triggers ( Ignoble Hierach, Noble Hierarch) with your infect creatures ( Glistener Elf, Blighted Agent, Phyrexian Crusader, Inkmoth Nexus).

Vegas 2021 Modern Main Event Top 4: Sultai Infect by Jeff Jao Creatures (20) I chose this deck because I had a lot of experience with it, and not all players know or are prepared to play against it given it’s below 1% in the metagame.

I have played the deck since and I’ve also placed 25th in Grand Prix Las Vegas in 2019 where I almost went Top 8 (lost in Round 14 of 15).
