Hello! So I recently built a deck around one card that I think is kind of overpowered: Invisible Stalker. My logic and train of thought was that, given his evasiveness, anything short of a Wrath-like effect kind of just sits in your opponent's hand, being useless.
If the stars align, the best turn order ends up like this:
Turn 1: land, Silver-Inlaid Dagger
Turn 2: land, Stalker
Turn 3: land, Tainted Strike (waiting for the counter), then equip the Stalker and swing for 5 poison
Turn 4: repeat of turn 3
Again, not expecting that to happen ever, but that was the idea that started me on this deck.
Apologies for the condition of the sideboard. Haven't really had a chance to sit down and figure out what I want in there exactly. Except for the big creatures, I want to slide those bad boys in there once my opponent sideboards most of his removal.
Advice? Should I keep infecting cards? Has a deck like this been done? Is this just terrible and should be scrapped? If you can leave an explanation of your advice (the metagame you're using, like Pro-Tour or your FNM for example), that'd be awesome. It'd help me out tons.
