With the exception of the somewhat superfluous caverns, this is budgeter than most of the budget decks in the budget column on this site :P.

I had a go at a deck like this but gave up because it completely rolls over to curse of death's hold.

...I probably wasn't the first to make the deck, but I was probably damn close. 1 week out of the release, I started trading for Wild Defiances and Livewire Lash. Deck is spoilered b/c it would take up room. Thoughts? This is version 3. Maindecked the guiles. Spellskites in 'Board. This thing wrecks my friends, but I haven't been able to take it to a tournament yet. Spoiler:
Show
Also, does anyone else REALLY want to say Lashwrithe  when they mean Livewire Lash  ? EDIT: I had a go at a deck like this but gave up because it completely rolls over to curse of death's hold  .
So? Black Decks have a sideboard option that comes online t5. Wow. Excuse me if I'm just a bit underwhelmed.

Infect is fun, I remember when I use to trample all over my buddy because he was so proud of his elf deck to only get cream by my one infected elf :D

Infect has never been good and WotC needs to stop peddling these articles to people who don't know any better.
3,000th post: September 5, 2010 4,000th post: March 24, 2012 Winner of the YMTC Ravnica War of the Guilds contest as guild Dimir. Snapcaster Mage  is the best card of all time. How do you deal?

Been playing this list for 2 weeks. Won both FNM's. Whether this is a case of people just not paying attention or the deck actually works. I dunno.
I also say lashwrithe all the time.
Livewire is amazing, wild defiance less so because the livewire can still infect without the need to attack. The livewire also gives you some protection against enemy gutshots and blasts.
4 Ranger's Guiles is necessary.
Less Turn 3 kill and more "Make sure your glistener elf is around for attacking on Turn 4 as well" and you'll win plenty of games.
I play vapor snag over artful dodge. Not really sure why, just like it better. Also since Blighted agent is already unblockable the vapor snag can be used defensively as well as trying to push an inkmoth through.
Sideboard doesn't matter. Just put in 4 Mental Missteps (to stop 1cmc spells that hurt you) and the counter if poisoned (to stop curses).
You're screwed if they lay down a curse. But less and less people are playing Esper Control. Righteous Blow on Turn 1 can be an issue sometimes too. So just give up on the matchup and win vs everyone else.
According to everyone on these forums. You should only play the best decks in whatever format you want. You are a bad player and should just quit if you intend on using anything else.

won my local game day with 4x glistener elf  4x blighted agent  4x inkmoth nexus  4x wild defiance  4x ranger's guile  4x artful dodge  4x livewire lash  4x mutagenic growth  4x ponder  4x apostle's blessing  4x evolving wilds  4x hinterland harbor  6x forest  6x island  I never ended up using my sideboard. I only lost a single game and it was due to me getting cocky and keeping 5 lands foolishly in a game 2 of the matchup, of course drawing back to back to back lands even after a ponder reshuffle. Even when i played a removal heavy mono black deck (which i was told sided in curses for game 2) I out carded him every time he tried removing my lowly glistener elf. after his 2 removal followed by my rangers guile then apostles blessing, he scooped as i attacked with my 19/19 unblockable infector. I think the key is 8x removal counterspells (AB + RG). Since i only run 12 creatures i need to keep them alive. The inkmoths survive the board clearers and sorceries and won me many games. Do not underestimate the livewire lash, as it saved me after 2 wild defiances were naturalized, and won me a game outright when i didnt get to any wild defiances tho i never used it in this way during the course of the tourney dont forget u can use apostle's blessing to make ur guy unblockable vs the color u pick too

Note that one of the things he took out of my deck is two Witchbane Orb  in the sideboard, which not only stops CoDH but burn and even some planeswalker abilities, specifically Gideon's plus (which also hurts this deck badly).
