Legacy MtG — Simic Infect vs. Orzhov Pox
Channel: T1GlistenerElf

Finally, some more Legacy Infect again! It's been too long.
The One Punch Elf is back!

Invigorate and Berserk. Name a more iconic duo.

Without Oko, the deck had some newly opened flex slots to fill. I figured "What better way to fill them than with another planeswalker?", and since I was already splashing white for sideboard cards, Teferi, Time Raveler seemed to be the easiest choice. After all, if he sticks, then I don't have to worry about further removal or counterspells, making the combo sure to succeed. If nothing else, he draws a card to replace himself while putting the opponent a bit behind.

The hardest cut for me was going down to two copies of Ponder. Normally, I play the full playset, but not this time. Instead, I included Sylvan Library for continuous card draw and selection, and the aforementioned Teferi. I could have replaced one with Once Upon a Time, but I elected not to as Ponder is a better topdeck in most cases, and it keeps the blue card count high for Force of Will. That said, as a fan of free spells, maybe I'll slot it back in next time.
