Oct 26, 2011Kumar posted a message on Illusions PrimerVishamon, I suggest you drop the treasure mage and maybe some islands, as you have a really low mana curve. pick some of the cards reccomended by zelderex to replace them.Posted in: Zelderex Blog

Runechanter's pike, snapcaster and forbidden alchemy are all good cards. and could make for a nice blend between a control/pump deck. Though I still feel that runechanter's pike is kind of slow, while livewire lash hits the moment the creature is targeted, you need to wait till you can attack for runechanter's pike to be useful. I agree, and would totally consider changing my deck to add them... I just don't have money for that many snapcasters though, lol. snapcaster and forbidden alchemy would work together very well in in an infect deck, since the only thing you'll be fishing for is lands/creatures. and then you can just flashback the pump/counterspells
Though I can't say I like your sideboard very much, a lot of it is higher costing cards, and if the game goes on that long then you're most likely losing. Rather then naturalize run viridian corrupters, one more green mana for a 2/2 infect that does the same thing. Get rid of viral drake, there are much faster cards out there. You shouldn't be preparing for a long game, you should be making your game as fast as possible. Same with bramblecrush, I was told some very good advice earlier which was, don't try to interfere with their game, just keep them from interfering with yours. So maindecking mana leak's is a must. Corrupted Conscience... is a good card, but only when you're top decking in my opinion.
and SuperGLS that is a very unique build. I don't think i've ever even heard of control infect, but I also think you're not running enough creatures. I've seen snapcaster combo very well with forbidden alchemy so you might want to try running that in your deck. but yes, Blue/Black does seem like the thing for you as green only has ranger's guile I think, for protection. Tell me how it goes at your next fnm.
Only reason I say this is because I've noticed that aside from a few rare big creatures like skythiryx most infect creatures cost more mana and do less damage. so being pumped up helps. Also if you're willing to take your time then Contagion Clasp is another good card.
To make room for some of these cards I'd take out the overrun, the blight mamba, the flesh eater imp, one skythiryx, the putrefax and possibly the septic rats.
so in summary your sideboard based on your list should look like this
2 dismember
2 celestial purge
2 geth's verdict
2 distress
3 leonin relic-warder/revoke existence
2 timely reinforcements
2 unburial rites

To be honest I briefly went through this thread and put together something that looked nice. No sideboard as of yet. feel free to tear it apart. I'm thinking of replacing porcelain legionnaire with blade splicer not sure though.
