The deck was capable of winning as soon as turn two. While a powerhouse that closes out games, the Iron Giant of New Phyrexia is not the fastest clock (although Golden Gun Oath can break this rule.) Still, playing two game-winning combo cards that synergize with artifacts that you probably already have is too strong for many blue decks to pass up.īlazing Shoal had already been banned in Modern, and with good reason. Tinker was already something that players were inclined to include the risk of a two-for-one if countered was more than made up by the overwhelming advantage of getting a powerful artifact into play well below curve. Infect has been a feature of the Vintage landscape ever since Blightsteel Colossus was printed, but that’s almost always the one card with the mechanic in the deck and, until recently, the entire format. The following primer is an excerpt from my Infect guide I’ll have more to say on that after the article.
In the past, I’ve been asked about how to play the deck, so I hope that this gives a good introduction to anyone who’s looking to pick it up. I’ve piloted Blazing Infect for nearly four years, as evidenced on my YouTube channel, so I have experience enough to know what goes into making a fine-tuned Phyrexian machine.
With Vintage tournament season right around the corner, I thought that I might shine some light on my favorite archetype in Magic.
