I'd argue more Groundswell, less Bounty. Also, I'd just run 4 more fetches instead of Land Grant. Also consider a splash to Blue for Blighted Agent + Removal.

Yeah, definitely drop Land Grant. That card is absolutely terrible. It'll cost you games when the opponent counters it and the only advantage it has is pitching it to Bounty of the hunt, which is kinda bad anyway.


If budget isn't a problem, I'd heavily recommend splashing either black of blue. Both of those would give the deck better creatures to work with and more tools against various decks. I play UG infect stompy.

I originally got an inspiration for playing Infect Stompy (I used to play mono green Berserk Stompy) from that list. My list is very similar to it. Main differences are that I don't run Necropede s, preferring the synergy that Ichorclaw Myr has with Berserk. Sometimes I also play a fourth Noble Hierarch since I feel it helps marginally against RUG Delver which is a really tough matchup and a common deck. Besides, it's cool to occasionally win with just a pumped and Berserked Hierarch. Oh yeah, an obvious change to the list in that link is to switch Scalding Tarn s for some other fetches that can get a basic Forest.


A black version of the deck plays Plague Stinger and Phyrexian Crusader and occasionally some Discard in either maindeck or sideboard. I've even seen some list that played a set of Dark Ritual s to get the Phyrexian Crusader out on the first turn. The lists with black play some acceleration in the deck quite often since Phyrexian Crusader is so good against a lot of decks (and immune to Swords to Plowshares and Lightning Bolt) and since they have to be a bit faster as they can't have the type of disruption or consistensy that blue variants have. An example list is here:

I recommend proxying the decks up and testing first before investing in duals since they're so expensive and you might not feel that the decks are worth the investment in the end. Anyway I enjoy playing with my UG Infect. It's fun to drop a Blighted Agent with Show and Tell and win past their Emrakul.

With a deck like Infect, the duals can easily be substituted for Ravnica duals. The life loss doesn't really matter when they're dead.
