I decided to build a deck around the Scars of Mirrodin Block mechanic "Proliferate". As other mechanics, I picked the following things that work well with profilerate:

Infect
Modular
Charge Counters

I decided to make the deck green-blue-black, mostly with those mechanics, then a few things to give my things with mucho counters trample, and a few search and destroy spells cuz it's what the format demands. There aren't much for legends in those colors, so I went with Vorosh, the Hunter

as my commander

Here's the rest:
Lands (36)
6 Forest
6 Island
6 Swamp
Academy Ruins

Creatures (35)
Blighted Agent

Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon

Skullbriar, the Walking Grave

Artifact Creatures
Arcbound Bruiser

Other Stuff (28)
Corrupted Conscience

Snake Cult Initiation

Artifacts
Akroma's Memorial

So, what do you guys think?

Corpsejack Menace

wants to be here. So does Experiment Kraj

. So does Fertilid

.

I'm not liking the small Infect creatures, including Blightwidow

. I know it's part of your theme and all, but poison counters in EDH tend to get you hated on. Maybe that doesn't happen in your meta,but I'd rather see the creatures above or maybe Aquastrand Spider

if you are desperate for Reach.

So what if people hate me if I play poison counters? It's legal! For the life of me, I've never understood players trying to peer pressure other players out of good combos

The schtick is to hit people with poison counters and -1/-1 counters, then kill them or their creatures.

I'm thinking drop Blightwidow and either Flensermite or Ichor Rats (which I never really liked anyway) for Corpsejack Menace and Experiment Kraj . Dude will have most of the Akroma effects as a result of the Arcbound bundle, and Infect too, of course.

It doesn't matter in a duel. In multiplayer, getting hated equates to getting teamed up on. It's a lot harder to win that way. For what it's worth, the Wither mechanic doesn't draw that hate, because it doesn't cut player's life totals by 30. Using poison counters is like plopping down Sorin Markov

and immediately using his second power on every other player. If it took twice the number of poison counters as a regular game (since you have double lives), I don't think people would hate on it so much. You'll understand what I mean when someone uses Bribery
