Legacy Infect deck

UPDATED MARCH 2022
Infect is a hyper-aggressive deck based in perhaps one of the most infamous mechanics in the game: Infect. The archetype is present in Legacy and Modern.
==Overview==
There is a bit of controversy regarding as to what should infect be considered: Aggro, Combo or Aggro-Combo. And the arguments for each case are as follows:
*Infect is a Combo deck because it's highly non-interactive and wins in a somewhat unconventional way
*Infect is an Aggro deck because it's similar to a traditional pump-based Aggro deck - except that the opponents can't gain life
In Infect's case, the controversy isn't as resolved as in other cases such as Reanimator's (in which the Combo aspect - more clearly - overweights the Aggro aspect). Infect seems to be its own category of controversy since the mechanic itself is seen as a kind of Combo mechanic which is enabled by the Aggro.
Nonetheless, the deck is strong. And has access to powerful, efficient defenses such <c>Daze</c> and <c>Force of Will</c>.
The deck can be found in three versions listed below: Mono-Gree, Mono-Blue and Green-Blue - although there are reports of Black or Black-splashed lists seen around sometimes.
This range of versions allow for decks with or without Reserved List cards.
