you might want to consider a rampant growth or a viridian emissary a little mana ramp helps when trying to get to a skithiryx or a putrafax a.s.a.p.

That's a horrible attitude to have I am pretty sure with that attitude you can't play any deck type.
I understand he has 2 Skithiryx which is almost as expensive as Inkmoth so you can assume he has some money... and the dual land isn't cheap either.
However the way you said it is aweful it is the kind of thing that will make people stop playing magic before they start.
I can't afford Inkmoth (at least I couldn't I am glad it isn't $24 anymore).... I play infect... and it is actually one of the most powerful pauper decks.
you just unlikely to win your tournament or FNM... if you accept that you aren't going to win as consistently as a top deck that's ok.
some people aren't "spikes", some people that aren't "spikes" come to this website. I am a "johnny" that gets much enjoyment for making low cost cards work for me.
It's not even about winning. Playing infect without Inkmoth is like playing ramp without Rampant Growth. It's an essential tool to make the deck work.
It's the second or third best card in the deck and it's fun to play with.
In this deck I would agree that Inkmoth Nexus is required. But you can get away without playing it in mono black, and it actually hurts you in UG infect.
So yeah, Inkmoth is good, but to say you shouldn't be playing Infect without it is pretty silly.

Yeah, but Lashwrithe on it's own can win you games too. It's a pretty overwhelming card regardless of what it is on.
Like I said, you can get away with playing MBI without Inkmoths. I did it to great success, as I'm sure others have as well. Not saying it's optimal, but it is an option.
I will not play it in UG Infect though. That deck NEEDS to have colored mana very very early into the game, as it does not have a late game, so you can't afford to sit on Inkmoth colorless on T2 or 3. Your gameplan is basically play a dude on turn 1 or 2, attack, pump it for lethal if it goes unblocked. So yeah, you need your colors.

I figured it would have to abandon that super agrressive pump game plan for something a little more mid range, involving putrefax or blighted agent with counter back up.
Played it to 25th at GP Orlando. It's not a great deck, but it isn't something that a lot of decks are prepared to handle. Especially in the Delver matchup, where they're often willing to just get domed by the 1/1 instead of throwing their Delver in front of it. Basically unless they have a Gut Shot that I can't answer with Hunter's Guile, they die to Mutagenic.
the deck works, plus i have owned it since besieged came out so i know its good, just wanted to see what you guys thought, inkmoth is not a requirement -.-

Inkmoth nexus is amazing but costly.
Darksteel Axe or ichorclaw myr or Necropede even Corpse Cur as additional artefacts for mirran metal..
I also experiment with Dark favour and unnatrual predation and I have seen undying evil used
basically those last few cards you can personalise.
Tezzerets gambit if you are after card draw
it is very effective for its price tag.

hmm if you can't afford Snapcaster mage better not play Delver.
Can't afford Chandra's Phoenix better not play RDW

Thats a pretty bad example for the point youre trying to get across.
If you dont have Snapcasters you really shouldnt play Delver.
you just unlikely to win your tournament or FNM... if you accept that you aren't going to win as consistently as a top deck that's ok.

Because we care about facts.
Lashwrithe on Inkmoth is pretty beast.

Fair enough.
I havent seen u/g infect since vines of vastwood and distortion strike.

Hijacking this thread though so I'll stfu.
