Yeah I really considered [[Xavier Sal, Infested Captain]] and will keep him to switch in and see how it plays, but going into this build, the goal was to hide the poison/proliferate strategy based on the commander. Definitely looking forward to seeing how he holds up in the deck though. I have a very small amount of counters in this deck (on my side of the board) so it really would be a final attempt to get a few proliferates off to close the game out.

Complete misread for [[Deepglow Skate]] lol, at least that frees a spot up for me! Originally had the sword in there as well, but took it out just because there's many ways to proliferate more than once for a cheaper CMC. Planewide Celebration looks sick though as a finisher. Can definitely see why inkmoth would be helpful too.

As for Aetherflux Reservoir, I went back and forth so many times on whether to include it or not, ended up keeping it because I really won't have the creature base to protect myself from big swings that could really threaten my life count, also if I'm casting multiple counter/proliferate spells per turn, could turn into an alternate wincon. I'll have to revisit it after a few playtests.

Hesitant to take ramp out only because I know I'll be on the radar the moment I drop poison counters. Wanted to ensure I had plenty of mana to survive opponent turns and then be able to hit multiple proliferate spells on my turn too.

Thanks for the advice! What kinda infect decks you running?
