I decided to start my own thread so I was not taking somebody else's idea in a completely different direction. My question for you is...Can you make a mostly white prison deck and splash black or blue for infect as the win con? My idea is to use cards like Ghostly Prison with ichor Rats type effects with proliferate to eventually kill the table. As stated in the previous posting, I have a modern legal mono white prison deck put together -bridge just because of cost. Obvious includes in this list will be things like inkmoth nexus and contagion engine. I was more hoping that somebody had something similar they could share, or maybe ideas they've had but not tested out yet. I appreciate the views.
I would recommend using Tainted Strike in your deck
It seems like it's hard to win in multiplayer with all the small infect creatures Phyrexian Swarmlord is a card I like a lot too that would be very good for your deck as a curve topper

Forgot that I had my favorite lock not currently in use.... Web of Inertia and Rest In Peace. Makes the deck esper, but that's alright with me. I'll post a list later.

FWIW I think that you're trying to do way too much. Prison decks can't afford to be slow because they literally win or lose games based on their ability to curve out. When you go turn 1 Planar Collapse, turn 2 Crucible of Worlds, turn 3 Ghostly Prison, turn 4 Armageddon you've basically won the game on the spot but push that back to turn ~6 and now you're just dead. This is why I rarely-if-ever play Stax decks that're more than 1 color (unless I'm Green) because speed and consistency trump everything else. In that sense I don't understand why you're trying to field Meekstone + Blind Obedience + Rest in Peace + Ghostly Prison + Ichor Rats + Web of Inertia + Contagion Engine in a deck with colorless lands such as Inkmoth Nexus. Aren't you just setting yourself up to fail by trying to do way too much with way too little while pissing the entire table off?
Just so we're clear I don't care if people want to build off-beat archetypes or whatever. That's not the concern here. I just don't want you to sit down with a slow, inconsistent Prison deck and have a miserable time playing it. After all, it's really freaking easy to curve Ghostly Prison into Windborn Muse/Magus of the Tabernacle into Armageddon and accomplish the same thing much more consistently. I wouldn't hate a Blue splash for Rhystic Study, Propaganda, Copy Enchantment, Pendrell Mists, etc. assuming that you don't go for Armageddon and field something like Sphere of Safety instead. This obviously only works if your meta is creature-based and not spell-based but I clearly have no idea what people are slinging so /shrug.
