Toxic isn't a trigger. It's applied instantaneously with combat damage, similar to lifelink.

[veneficus]

So I think I understand why there is so many board wipes/effects to stop attacks. If you focus on Ixhel the deck isn't so much a aggro or midrange stratagy. The concept there is to try and get the 3 poison counters on your opponutes and then outvalue them long term. Use proliferate/spell effects to increase the # of poison counters and then knock them out late game. While using the board wipes/not beinng able to be attacked effects to avoid being the target until you can do that. This contrasts Vishgraz which is a much more traditional infect aggressive stratagy.

[thismanadork]

Points to consider.

1. The mites can't block, and with how hated poison is, some of the defence is definitely needed
2. Chromatic Lantern is there for Ixhel. It lets you use the abilities of cards you steal

[counterclockwisepup]

Ultimate Vishgraz Challenge: Get two opponents to 9 poison counters. Kill the other opponent with 21 commander damage.

[fmaia]

Aw, i really wanted to see Ixhel as the commander, toxic and control together really is what got me into this one

[Flameboy]

I think this deck could use "Behind the Scenes"

Behind the Scenes 2B
Creatures you control have skulk. (They can't be blocked by creatures with greater power.)
4W: Creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn.

It only cost a few cents and can help all the small toxic creatures get in especially late game when every one is dropping massive creatures.

[mzurran]

I think you are all forgetting that the tokens have "THIS CREATURE CAN"T BLOCK"

[Granticus]

Rachel: “what’s your advice on how to play infect?”

Craig, who’s only known for playing infect: “ahhh ummm I don’t know”

[bigs]

Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa as commander Budget Upgrade. I'm sure a vast majority of us are looking forward to it and would really appreciate having it. Thanks for your fun videos and Great work

[pyroshadow]

"I wonder about defensive infect strategies." in my experience, people who play the deck wide and try to aggro people down at best kill one person before the pod then kills them. the deck's much stronger imo when the objective is to get 1-2 poison counters on each player and weave the proliferate effects in while essentially stalling the game out defensively. especially when there are so many cards that can proliferate more than once

[robinvandepoele]

Don’t forget that the mites can’t block, I feel like they missed that part in this episode

[Jollyroger]

Craig's face when Rachel said Champaign of Lambholt's price was only 69 cents

[grayrook]

Another nice universal evasion card to think about: Behind the Scenes. Enchantment 2B: creatures you control have Skulk and and activate of 4W give all your creatures +1/+1 for the turn. So Pseudo-unlockable and an anthem for if you can just murder with combat damage. Not a bad card and your friends will say "Skulk!? Seriously?".

[Negative_NBG]

I think you guys are underestimating how few people run flying creatures. That apparition is solid imo

[Balooh]

Budget alternative to Ohran Frostfang: Archetype of Finality. Gives deathtouch without the card draw, but costs about a dollar.

[nicholaschun]

I think the energy got better as the episode went along. The beginning felt very different from the end, and I think that's a good thing. Both hosts definitely had a lot to say about the deck's mechanics, and it was great to see how those ideas flowed with one another.

[AlphaDraconis]

One card that can be a star here is Throne of Geth. Those mites are artifacts.

[TurntReynolds]

really shocked they didn't include Vorinclex Monstrous Raider in the honorable mentions section. Perfectly themed both in flavor and mechanics (if not a bit on the pricey side)

[jonathanbane]

I haven't seen enough people suggest planewide celebration but with this added toxic infect cards, 4 proliferates for 7 seems like a possible game ender style card in green
