    I’ve been trying to take a break from Short form content (failing at that but trying lol) but I always click on your shorts everytime. But I love the detail and style of this type of video for sure! I love it’s still got your informative attitude and taking a simple topic or theme of deck and giving your own unique spin on it. I’ve always shyd away from infect since it’s immediate aggro towards you before a land is even played, but now that I’ve been playing for several years now and with each of these decks having their own take on the theme of it, I’ve definitely gotta give it a try. I do have to admit though my favorite part for sure is the brief history behind the mechanic of Infect. I’m the type to wish I had played earlier on in Magics history and find things like the creation of certain mechanics and how they broke metas or historical figures in Magics history all super interesting. So having a quick dive into it’s history and also being super easy to consume makes this whole video worth the watch. Love it man and I hope to see more videos like this for sure!

  • @Doxicyclin
    these are awesome, well written and not overly theatrical in presentation. thank you *sub'ed
  • @codyeastwood3438
    Honestly so helpful. Was thinking of building a mono black infect deck. Just as a silly goofy yeet deck for my buddies Atraxa deck
  • I love these videos on kinda divisive ways to play the game. I watched your video on Stax which is a deck I've made quite a few times lmao 😂. It never gets old, well for me anyways 😂
  • @draxilion1126
    Nice job Nic infect is definitely salty but can work really well if done right. Would be awesome to see you do something on dragon tribal

    I played the skittles deck against an Eldrazi deck, and it did wonders. It was really fun to race my opponent and beat them before they could successfully ramp.

    1:30 I can't state how *TRUE* this statement is. When I first picked up MTG I asked around at my locals if mtg had any effect or archetype that had like a poison theme. To what I was explained by the shops owner Infect would be something in that theme or something along the lines of a mill deck as your opponents slowly die to getting milled down. The younger me was enthralled by the infect theme and quickly set out to build my first deck to play at my locals. Unbeknownst to me it was met with a TON of scruteny and people just flat out refusing to play with me. And it did honestly led to me stopping to play pretty quickly. Currently picking up TCGs again and dipping my toes into MTGO, I do still have a soft spot for the whole theme that is infect and how it works, even with the negative responses from other players it still is a very interesting archetype. So a tl;dr after all my rambling: What he said is true some players will either refuse to play against you or make some snarky comments. But don't let that turn you away from these type of decks.
  • Any ideas for a Sultai snow deck? I know there isn't a ton there but I just love the snow flavour and want to make a good jorn deck
  • @puppelo
    Thought you had a bigger following. Well made video. Keep it up and I think you will go far.
  • @scottricks1676
    If you transform an incubator token…can you flip it back to the artifact side? If something said “transform” target card?
  • @bryanklekar81
    Seeing builds for the top 5 picks of Fallout would be fun!
  • @Marcosomos
    The best poison counters deck is Ixhel land destruction tribal :V
  • @TheCrankyDank
    The problem with these decks is you need to infect 3 other players. With Ramses, Assassin Lord you only need to infect 1.
