Modern MtG — Mono Green Infect vs. Simic Infect
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 18/01/2021

It's no secret that I LOVE Infect, so to see someone else running the archetype against me is really cool. Of course, it's not the same deck, as Mono Green is almost always chosen over Simic and Golgari for its budget-friendliness. Of course, as a longtime advocate for Sylvan Scrying, and as someone who considers Elvish Reclaimer to be an honorary Phyrexian when called upon, I made sure to suggest those, as they get Inkmoth Nexus readily while filling the graveyard for Become Immense, providing landfall for Groundswell.

Here's the decklist that I ran for this tournament. Please note that, due to its poor performance, this is the last tournament at which I'm running Rancor, instead swapping it with either Mutagenic Growth, Snakeskin Veil, or another Distortion Strike.
Creatures (13)
4 Blighted Agent
4 Glistener Elf
4 Noble Hierarch
1 Spellskite
Enchantment (1)
1 Rancor (which is now another card, as mentioned above)
Instants (19)
1 Become Immense
4 Blossoming Defense
4 Might of Old Krosa
4 Mutagenic Growth
2 Spell Pierce
4 Vines of Vastwood
Sorcery (7)
3 Distortion Strike
4 Scale Up
Lands (20)
2 Breeding Pool
1 Botanical Sanctum
1 Dryad Arbor
2 Forest
4 Inkmoth Nexus
2 Pendelhaven
1 Waterlogged Grove
7 green fetchlands (currently four Misty Rainforest and 3 Verdant Catacombs)
Sideboard (15)
2 Apostle's Blessing
1 Echoing Truth
1 Grafdigger's Cage
4 Nature's Claim
3 Pulse of Murasa
1 Shapers' Sanctuary
2 Viridian Corrupter
