Because you have to have it super-early in the game just so it's ability can do some stuff, if it gets played too late in the game it's not that great. Also it doesn't end a game like Vatmother, and Putrefax can.
I had Vatmother in here before but it just didnt work as well as Hand of the Praetors. I never tried using Putrefax though. Hand just always helped increasing the flyers and giving the extra poison counters. The +1/+1 has helped allot with the flyers. Also helps with Inkmoth Nexus, and giving poison counters when they are summoned.
personally i like them in here. they seemed more consistent in their usefulness. I will try purefax though since i have not tried that one. is there any other suggestions?
this is actually a pretty decent attempt for a first deck. it could use a tune up though.
the sun titans are a bit over the curve for your deck and you don't have enough land to support them. i'd recommend replacing them with Hero of Bladehold, just to lower the curve of your deck.
Gitaxian Probe probably doesn't really need to be in the deck. you have no blue mana so it costs 2 life every time and in practice accomplishes very little. knowledge of opponents hand is not terribly important for a beatdown deck like this one. drawing into another card could be accomplished through different means. Tezzeret's Gambit, for example, which would actually net card advantage. I'd definitely cut the Probes. they just don't do enough for you.
i think you should probably play 23 or 24 lands in this deck, so cutting probes for some mana and one or two other cards seems like a good idea.
I can defiantly understand about sun titan. Half the time I dont get to play him or i can summon him and its over that turn. I rarely get to use him. I will edit in prob 3x Hero of Bladehold I really do like that card.
I like Gitaxian Probe because its only really a 2 life cost nothing else. and the other cost 3 and 2 health for me. The main reason i have it in there is a had issues with land earily game and the extra draw has actually helped while the other cannot be used first couple turns.
I can understand about Staff Off and Apostle's Blessing since Ive ran into allot of artifacts and they got annoying. I used staff off cus it cost 1 and most destroy cards were colored. Since Brave the Elements is cheap ill just add that for now til they go bye bye. I'll give it a show though. Going to edit deck with the Heros though.
- 4 Elite Vanguard
+4 Squadron Hawk
-2 Grand Abolisher
+1 Leonin Skyhunter
-4x staff off
+4x Brave the Elements
-2 Sun Titan
+3 Hero of Bladehold
What would you take out for the extra land?
What do you guys think of Accorder Paladin in this deck? was thiking
You have Mutagenic listed as x7. The x4 should be Vines of Vastwood or less desirable but more effective if you run Terramorphic or Verdants .. Groundswell.
That's all I got. Infect lists have been chopped, sliced, and diced out in every possible combination at this point so just search for other threads to see what people are running for more thoughts.
the 3x was suposed to be Titanic growth sorry. Trying to keep it with cards that wont rotate out

I actually like the gitaxian probe I've usually got it in my first couple hands. It lets me see what my opponent has and draw which can be valuable.
