Hello, All! I need your help // have a challenge for you. Let me start off by noting that I mostly play Commander but am dabbling in Modern.
I've been thinking of a deck that uses poison with little to no combat. I know of at least 2 right now. One is Infect Storm and another Simic one that I currently use with a [[Venerated Rotpriest]] [[Spellskite]] combo.
The strategy I was thinking of was using creatures that can deal damage equal to their power like [[Cacophony Scamp]] and [[Fireblade Charger]] or [[Spikeshot Goblin]] and [[Spikeshot Elder]]. Give them infect with cards like [[Tainted Strike]], [[Phyresis]], and [[Glistening Oil]]. Then buff them with cards like [[Titan's Strength]], [[Brute Force]], and [[Mutagenic Growth]]. Maybe have a sac outlet like [[Carrion Feeder]] or [[Viscera Seer]] for the ones that need to die. This strategy seems good for blocking those big rhinos or titans and using them to deal poison by killing our stuff.
However, soon after I thought maybe it would be better to use a strategy that would do it in one big shot. I know a lot of the decks in the meta win by bringing big stuff out fast and smashing face. So maybe there's a strategy similar to Dino Wack, where I convoke something big like [[Ancient Imperiosaur]] or [[Feaster of Fools]], give them infect, and either swing in for lethal or make them deal poison with cards like [[Callous Sell-Sword]] (Burn Together), [[Soul's Fire]], or [[Gravitic Punch]]. The cool thing about this strategy is with all the tokens you'd make to convoke, you could also give them all infect with [[Triumph of the Hordes]] and win that way.
My brain is shot from trying to figure out how to make this work these past couple of days, but I really feel like there's something viable here. My hope is that with multiple heads on this someone out there can figure out a good way to crack this. I'm curious to see what y'all come up with! Hit me with any deck lists you got and thanks in advance!
