+TheEmpPlayer I don't actually know. I think it was because I had figured I was going to be on the Geist plan that game and had it into my had that because explosives was on 2 that I wasn't going to be winning the game with the Agent. This was completely wrong and I knew after the match I had punted it away. I was definitely nervous as this was my first feature match, but really I just made a mistake. It happens, oh well. Still top 8d the Legacy 5k the next day, good weekend.
+Drew Bienhoff tappedout.net/mtg-decks/07-07-15-modern-infect/ This was close to the list I played at this event, I don't think I played any Mutagenic Growths, and I played one Jace. I also think that without Twin in the meta more Might of Old Krosa might be better than Groundswell, and I also think Slip Through Space might be better than Rancor in the flex slot. That being said, I haven't played Infect since that event.
I also played 4 Serum Visions at this event, which I think is right to do in a Jund/Grixis heavy meta, the same type of meta you where you want Geist in the board. In the current meta I don't think either is right.
+MrGarruk123 geist is good in infect... but man how could u ever think it would be a good sideboard choice vs a creature heavy and removal light deck?!
I had to assume that he had Melira in the sideboard, and there was a very reasonable chance I would not be able to kill him with Infect, and being able to pump the Angel token is a very real way to get damage through. I talked with my opponent after the match and we both agreed that while its not very good in the matchup, it was probably right to bring it in.
Why didn't he go for the kill with Blighted Agent at 18:00 with Vines and Groundswell? All Jeff had was 1 colorless up.

At 26:20, should not Jeff have Chord of Callinged for Kiki to copy the Pia and Kiran to block the nexi with the thopters?
Kiki can't make copies of legendary creatures
At 1:53 is that a flip Jace in your infect deck or am i crazy?
+Barry Shternshain You're not crazy.
+Luke Bishop Do you have your decklist anywhere? I play a variant similar to Tom Ross' and would love to see your list.
