It's always good to teach a newbie how to play the game. It's even better when you're teaching them how to play Infect!

TapStart Games offered him a deck to play, and he chose Infect. Naturally, I had to get in on the action.

Here's the decklist that I was running at the time:
Creatures (13)
4 Blighted Agent
4 Glistener Elf
4 Noble Hierarch
1 Spellskite
Instants (19)
2 Become Immense
4 Blossoming Defense
4 Might of Old Krosa
2 Peek
1 Snakeskin Veil
2 Spell Pierce
