Is it worth cutting down on Vines over blossoming. I have definitely kicked vines for wins, but it happens pretty rarely. Maybe go 4-3-1 for blossoming-vines-blessing?
Seems perfectly reasonable. I do like Blessing a lot but my new build dropped them, although I do have 3 Distortion Strike bc that spell constantly wins me games. I'm blanking on a couple of SB slots so I will post it after work today
I think Tom's list is pretty spicy and personally I love lists with a lot of four offs, gives a lot of redundancy.
Only thing I would do is swap the Rancor for Distortion Strike but that is just me.

Is it worth cutting down on Vines over blossoming. I have definitely kicked vines for wins, but it happens pretty rarely. Maybe go 4-3-1 for blossoming-vines-blessing?
I do not think the main reason to keep vines in your MD is the +4/+4. It's the fact that it can be used in your opponent's creatures. If your meta has a lot of other infect, bogles, zooicide, amulet azusa, maybe it's worth keeping 4 Vines/3 B. Defense.
Not sure if I have a place here or not, but I'm one of the ~5% who plays Black-Green Infect. I love that its a little bit more resilient, and love the fact it has a bit more interaction! Got a Modern tournament this weekend and just wanted to run the deck by people, see if there's any interest/comments. Thanks!
@KeMT - [[Twilight Mire]] doesn't give G or B T1, and doesn't speed me up too much when I have fetches for Overgrown Tomb, Swamp or Forest. Its also not great if you have just it and an Inkmoth Nexus = no coloured mana. The mana base is usually good enough that I have BB available most of the time.
I've had a rethink about Dryad Arbor and decided on a 2nd copy of Pendelhaven. The situations where I'll actually need Dryad Arbor are relatively rare, and BG doesn't suffer from them as much as UG.
Vampiric Link was a consideration at one point, but BG has a better matchup vs Burn than UG - more creatures and more removal plus hand disruption means I can normally work around Eidolon of the Great Revel. Wild Nacatl is usually their only answer to Phyrexian Crusader which has Protection from Red.
There are definitely matchups where I'd use all 6 hand disruption spells. I'd bring the 2xDuress in for combo (Ad Nauseam, Storm, Pyromancer Thing), sometimes Burn + Jeskai Nahiri but also the "mirror" - against UG Infect my build takes on a control role and takes away their threats with mass removal. As Bug_Stomper said: "Duress is quite good against all those heavy noncreature spells and planeswalkers."
The trouble with Thoughtseize is the deck can be quite life hungry with fetch+shock (You need BB for Phyrexian Crusader so I don't want to be losing too much! I wouldn't replace the hand disruption for Mutagenic Growth for the same reason - BG is a more T4/T5 kill with control elements - the MGs are not a usual part of your gameplan and the life loss can be painful.
The Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is there to turn your Inkmoths and Fetches to Swamps so you always get B when you need it. The Woodland Cemetery is better longterm than Llanowar Wastes as its less painful, and most of the time enters untapped as you'll almost certainly fetch for an Overgrown Tomb T1 or T2. The only downside is if you draw it and an Inkmoth and no other land...
I am building Infect right now and I have everything except Noble Hierarch for now until I start saving money. Can the deck function without the Noble Hierarchs? Is the deck even worth playing at Modern Events like FNM and Modern Mondays around my area? What could be a good Substitute in its place if any?
Haha no! Not a chance without nobles, then your better off playing something else
Nobles are essential for UG infect:
-ramp
-provides extra mana; for pump, protection, inkmoth activation
-exalted; the most important aspect since +1/+1 is vital to get as much damage through as possible without considering pump. Dealing 1 poison extra each turn wins you games
Like Zasse_G said she is irreplaceable it is that simple. What she does can not be done by any other card.
Birds of Paradise is also a mana dork but nothing compared to Noble Hierarch.
I suggest you save up fast and get or trade for a playset and see the deck truly shine.
Can you still play FNM? Sure. Will you win the same amount of matches? Sorry to say but no.
I know it is not the answer you want to hear but it is the truth.

I went 3-3 at the tournament with my BG list, fairly happy with the result as its the biggest tournament I've been to with it.
Lost R1 to UW Control 1-2 - I have no answer to Gideon Jura +2... (That guy eventually went Top 8)
Lost R2 to UG Infect 0-2 - after a long stall of G-Elf vs G-Elf I didn't draw removal for his Blighted Agent.
Lost R4 to Grixis Kiki 1-2 - horrendous misplay on my behalf not killing Deceiver Exarch when I had the chance... This was the game I was most disappointed about, felt I could've won if I wasn't so dumb.
Beat Pyromancer Thing 2-1 as he didn't have an answer for double Phyrexian Crusader.
Beat 4Colour Kiki Evolution 2-0 as he didn't fetch for Melira, Sylvok Outcast Game 2 when he had the chance. Rancor on my Plague Stinger plus pump got me past a ton of Birds of Paradise, and Phyrexian Crusader just sat back blocking his white creatures.
Beat 8Rack 2-1.
I'm going to try with the mutagenic growth, but with the IoK if you encounter with as a UW you can discard its Mana Leak.
Shouldn't the GB Infect comments be on another thread?
Not hating on anybody in particular, but it isn't quite the same deck and doesn't have the numbers to justify being discussed here in the Tier 1 forum. It also just kind-of detracts from meaningful conversation about UG builds. It feels very wrong to see the latest discussion of arguably the best thread for the arguably the best deck in Modern is about builds that don't run Blighted Agent and Mutagenic Growth..

I agree.
That being said, I am new to piloting the deck and will be at Gp Dallas this weekend. Can anybody please shed some light on game play and sideboard choices (good vs bad matchups?). So far I've been stone dead to sun and moon if they can turn 2 chalice of the void and turn 3 blood moon. For this reason I've thought of adding an island and playing 4x misty rainforest. As well as going up to 4x spell pierce in SB. What do you veterans think? Also Kitchen finks or pulse of murasa. And is dredge a bad matchup for us? Is grafdigger's cage a 3 of or 2 of in the sideboard? What do we do about blessed alliance? spellskite main deck? Rancor or distortion strike? 1 or 2 pendel haven? Dryad arbor SB or MD? 2 or 3 dismembers? cut apostle's blessing entirely? 3 or 4 blossoming defense?Any discussion would be helpful thank you.
MD island is a bad idea, if you really are that afraid of Blood Moon then a decent step towards fighting it is by reducing the blue spells in your MD, i.e. having rancor over distortion strike and a second dismember over the usual 1-of Twisted Image in the 60.
I personally prefer distortion strike over rancor due to the prevalence of Bant Eldrazi and Dredge,though Rancor is also a solid option.
4 Spell Pierce is an option, 1 in the MD and 3 SB over the usual 2 Spell Pierce/1 Dispel SB split. Nowadays Dispel is mostly used against Jeskai, the mirror where I swap it with the Spell Pierce, Bant Eldrazi where its a hard counter for Blessed Alliance/Path, and against combo. Spell Pierce has much broader applications but Dispel being a hard counter is often crucial so I'd be wary to drop it for a 4th Spell Pierce.
Dredge is a decent MU for us, the biggest problem is their Darkblast and them dredging alot of Narcomoeba's when you're without Blighted Agent/D Strike. I've been sideboarding in Wild Defiance to deal with their removal and it has worked out very well until now. I don't feel the need for Grafdigger's Cage and am currently running 0, if Chord decks gain popularity I'd reconsider.
I'm currently on 3 Blossoming Defense and 0 Apostle's Blessing, this again, depends on the MU's you expect to be facing. If Lingering Souls is something you are worried about for example then a 1 of Apostle's alongside the 2 Distortion Strike gives you a third evasive spell while not going down on protection.
Playing around Blessed Alliance is sometimes tough, if you suspect your opponent has it and you have the possibillity to do so, then atk with your Hierarch as well, or fetch your dryad arbor eot and make him chip in for some dmg.

One more vote for removing GB Infect discussion.
- Island is bad, this is a Green deck for the most part. If you have a problem with Moons and Chalices play Wild Defiance or the option below.
- 4 Spell Pierce is a meta call. I think the card is good and if you think you need 4 I am not opposed to it.
- I like Finks because it is a resilient body against Jund/Grixis (against Jeskai you don't board it into Path) in addition to hosing Burn and Zoo.
- I'd go 2 Cage. It's also good against Chord and CoCo, but those decks are not prevalent right now and we should be favored against Dredge with Agent and D Strike.
- I don't play Skite main because it doesn't quite plag into our main gameplan, it is protection but then again it is a 2 drop so I don't play it. It is an allstar as a 2 of in the board however.
- Distortion Strike is a fantastic card. At least 2 in the main.
- 2 Pendelhaven, card is great. 2 has just always been the standard number.
- I've moved Arbor to the board, but I'm not sure on this. The card can be awesome or really bad, and I just don't want to risk drawing it game 1.
- I'm playing 2 Dismembers right now. 3 seems like a lot but again, if you feel you need it then go for it. In my meta at least I'm moving both to the side since it isn't relevant.
- I cut Apostle's Blessing altogether. I'm a huge fan of Distortion Strike, and by playing that and Blossoming Defense we don't need Blessing. I was never a big fan of the card, just a worse Vines. The only thing it has going for it is being cast off of Inkmoth, but Defense is miles,better in my opinion.
- 4 Blossoming Defense. I think this card is nearly as good if not better in some cases then Vines. I recently switched from 3 to 4 and I don't plan on going back.
No it doesn't work, very bad ruling since the answer is on the card itself, no real need for a judge here.
Can you elaborate? It looks like vines of vastwood makes the opponent's spellskite unable to target itself thus cannot redirect groundswell. Am I understanding this wrong?

YOU play the Vines, so the target creature can't be the target of YOUR OPPONENT SPELLS. The "opponent" don't change if you change the target of the Vines, because who casts the spell is you.
That's why Vines is very good against the mirror, because you can cast it on your opponents creatures to "protect" them from getting pumped and killing you.
In a not so far past it's our best answer game 1 against Splinter Twin ...
I ask about Mana leak because I seem to get blown out by spell queller, I'm getting crushed by spirit bant like it's not even fair...All the flash and CoCo and spell Queller omgf. I feel like I need 4x dismember but would probabyl just die to my own pain lands, I also want to try out take down, what ya'll think? and At least with Mana leak it would punish them for playing "land go" and just waiting to counter anything I play.
Anybody attend a recent modern Gp event before and can let me know what the meta looks like at these bigger events? I'm trying to stack my SB towards the bad matchups but dunno which cards to cut or run. So far
SB:
Kitchen Finks x3
pulse of Murasa
Twisted Image x2
Dryad Arbor
Viridian Corrupter
Naturalize x2 (chalice of the void)
spell pierce x3
Grafdigger's Cage x2
I would like to fit 1 or 2 Take down or 1 more dismember for spirit bant, or should I not worry about it? Also which decks is wild defience good against? only burn and zoo? Is naturalize worth it to go against chalice of the void?
Seems perfectly reasonable. I do like Blessing a lot but my new build dropped them, although I do have 3 Distortion Strike bc that spell constantly wins me games. I'm blanking on a couple of SB slots so I will post it after work today

Can somebody explain to me what's going on in this @ 12:45? He seems to use vines of vastwood on the opponent's spellskite to resolve 2 groundswells for lethal. Does this actually work, the spellskite cannot redirect those groundswells? I thought you people used vines of vastwood on opponent's creatures to fizzle pump spells, so I'm kind of confused. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CTd_gvcW9Y
Also what do people think about essence scatter, mana leak or corrupted resolve against spirit bant or Jeskai? I'm trying to find ways to improve the bad matchups.
