Today we will be looking at a brew I have been wanting to test: GB Infect. With the recent banning of [[card_link: Gitaxian Probe]], there has been relatively few Infect lists in UG that have been performing well. I wanted to rework the list, and landed on a GB brew that looks quite interesting.
[[deck: 17198]]
[[card_link: Thoughtseize]] takes the place of [[card_link: Gitaxian Probe]] here, and the [[card_link: Plague Stinger]] offers evasion, even if it is not as good as [[card_link: Blighted Agent]]. While we lose counter-magic from blue, we gain a lot of removal in [[card_link: Abrupt Decay]], and a less painful [[card_link: Dismember]]. [[card_link: Phyrexian Crusader]] out of the board can just win games against RWx shells. It also dodges popular removal such as [[card_link: Path to Exile]] and [[card_link: Lightning Bolt]].
Overall, the deck plays a little slower. It is better to save all pump for a one shot kill with protection, if you can, making it lean more towards combo. Flying blockers are still an issue, and [[card_link: Vendilion Clique]] is particularly annoying. However, this should be a powerful deck, that should win in the same way as infect used to.
