not sure about your budget but skithiryx, the blight dragon is just about the best infect creature. he is around the $10 range
both contagion engine, and contagion clasp deserve a spot for the sheer power of extra proliferate, also they kill stuff.
I want Skities very bad, but not for now. Both contagions are in a pack of cards i ordered!
Hey guys, after I finally got my Breeding Lethality, went to an infect and +1/+1 counters route, using mostly cards I had already, please, feel free to give some critique to it!
Ichor Rats gives everybody a poison counter when it etb's. You could add it as an alternate victory condition without bothering about infect in any other way.
Also , Clockspinning in case it wasn't mentioned yet.
Thanks! I ordered some infect cards, and will try it. When I get my list i will post it here
Please share your build later! I like infect, but i think it would draw a big target on me.
I played the precon against the NUll-B one and it lacks draws..... Saskia is too storng u.u
I will have to revise the list mutiple times if I was deadset on infect but it has a basic idea. My Mimeoplasm deck (which is my signature) was focused on dealing damage with infect. With Atraxa having build in proliferate, the idea is to instill an infection and then proliferate it. It gives you a lot less need to focus an infect build. You have a few infect creatures and you also have a lot of proliferate (Contagion Clasp and engine. Inexorable tide.) So you can put some infect in there, while also playing a secondary strategy. General damage, Beatdown with supped up (+1/+1 counters) creatures or the most commonly looked at one right now, Stax.
I did order some infect package, but not relying only on that. I'm thinkin gin put some counters and wipes to get some tempo and let Atraxa or proliferate spells do their jobs. For the beatdown, I have a Craterhoof Behemont, so it's something haha.
I actually disagree with Craterhoof I know he is good but only for one turn. (the turn he comes out) I prefer Pathbreaker Ibex Every time he attacks you get an overwhelming stampede effect. I prefer Ibex to craterhoof.
When you don't use several tokens, I think their effect will be the same (in one turn). Indeed this one is better, since I won't be using that amount of creatures

If you want to get cute Azor's Elocutors and Darksteel Reactor are funny Cards that can make for some amusing win cons especially with the new Skate we have.
Lol why not? It is another amusing win con,super cheap (to cast),and is a good dump for excess mana. And with the include skate you just need to hit 50 vs 100
Hey Y'all, I fell in love with Atraxa and already pre-ordered her deck. I'm thinking in do a counter/grave matter deck instead of plain superfriends (also, they're very expensive).
I do have some cards, but as to add, so far I just thought in ramps and some evolve cards. Which ones would you recommend?
Also, I pretend to use some of my favorite cards, like Rashmi, Archangel of Thune and Akroma
Imo you should go for Titania, Protector of Argoth. She is a Tier 1 DC commander right now and your bank account will thank you for not having to buy a bunch of expensive dual lands. That being said, while her mana base is cheaper than spashing 2 or 3 colours it can still get expensive due to the nature of her ability. You still want to run fetches and other sac lands like Wasteland to make tokens.
If you want to make Salesnya I'd recommend Gaddock Teeg. For Orzhov...well imo don't go orzhov, the general options suck. If you want to play black go with bg or bgx deck. Karador, Anafenza, Doran, Prossh, Meren, The Gitrog Monster are all decent tier 2 decks. If you want to try something a bit rogue you can try Skullbriar (im having fun with Skullbriar right now).
For UW both Geist and Grand Arbitor are decent options. Narset is also really good of you want to keep the boros colours from Marath Alive.
Anyway from a pure budgetary point of view the less colours the cheaper the deck is going to be. Titania is probably the cheapest option and she's really really really good.
I heard about her, exactly for being a T1 "budget" deck.
From GW the commander i wanted most is Old Sigarda, but no way with the amount of removals and wipes on my playgroup. I never saw a match with Gaddock Teeg, but heard how powerful he can be, even more with Jenara or Captain Sisay.
I was thinking in Orzhov since i liked Ayli very much, but testing with a friend, isn't much viable use lifegain as main strategy, but she was way better as a stax commander. One suggestion i received was to do a Karlov lifegain or Obzadat control.
We do have a Meren player, and on these colors I wanted once try Skullbriar or Savra (but usually her lists are more stax controlling the board, so I would go back to ayli haha). On Bxx, indeed Abzan is very nice and i was giving a check on Ghave/Karador.
About UW, would you recommend Geist as Tempo?
And I play a proxy Narset deck, so much hate I get hahahaha.
ok so to help you out I think you should tell us some of the staples that you have and then we can go from there by budget deck do you mean under 100 under 200 under 300?
most decks can be built around 150 dollars and be pretty fun and even competitive
so for recommended budget generals ill give you a few personal options. Ulasht, the Hate Seed - this guy has a very similar second ability and has a few of your colors he is also pretty fun. I am sure you can find a few combo with his saplings and +1/+1 counters
for a budget deck that can be build up over time I recommend almost any simic general but the ones that I would pick would be Edric, Spymaster of Trest and Momir Vig, Simic Visionary . Both of these guys can be reasonable with a low budget but can become a power house and something to be feared in your local game store with all the bells and whistles.
FYI edric is illegal in duel commander.
for duel commander Wydwen, the Biting Gale is one of my favorites
If you cant understand anything it is because I suck at spelling and punctuation and other grammar stuff. lol
Don't worry, i got it!
I would prefer under $100 for now. I have cards from the FTV:Angels, and some golgari and simic staples, few on black and white.
I was giving a check on tokens combo, and because of that Marath and Ghave were my first choices.
Yeah, the problem with Edric is the fact he's banned U.U. Wydwen is very hard control right? I tried once and a fried hated it hahahha.
I want Skities very bad, but not for now. Both contagions are in a pack of cards i ordered!
Initially I thought on this deck for x1, but I think it's too slow and weak against control.

It looks very nice, but wouldn't Orochi Hatchery be very slow? Since it would be useful to deploy, like, 4 or 5 snakes at least

Since counters works nicely with her, would tokens do as well?
They indeed did u.u
