Modern Magic — Jeskai Delver vs. Simic Infect
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 06/04/2016

This is legitimately one of my worst matchups. After all, they have gratuitous amounts of cheap removal, the bane of any Infect player. (Well, black Infect players have Phyrexian Crusader, so there is that, at least.)

Once again, I apologize for the transition glitches. I still have not gotten new software that doesn't have this glitch.

In any case, this is the infect deck that I've been piloting to some success againt the Eldrazi. Since Apostle's Blessing does nothing against them, I replaced the card with Slip through Space for the time being. I also went up to four Distortion Strike in the mainboard to swing past their creatures. This ability to give evasion has contributed to my undefeated record against the Eldrazi Aggro deck. (Although that record is only 2-0, not exactly a large sample size, but I was able to win through a Chalice on 1 once thanks to Become Immense.) I had also tinkered with Twisted Image in the mainboard, but found that it made the deck too slow too often.
