(He has an elf, 2 Rancors, Apostle’s Blessing, Nexus, Green Sun’s Zenith and Gut Shot.) He decides to gamble… if he draws a forest, he figures he’s nigh unstoppable.\u00a0But… he never draws a forest. 5 draws go by and he’s killed by 2 Scavenging Oozes and a Mutavault. The Infect player admits it was a bad keep decision. We figure the game one mulligan-to-4 was fresh in his memory and warped his judgment.

T3 Nexus makes it 6. Then T4 Nexus with Titanic Growth FTW. Infect 1-1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
T3 Polukranos – but it gets dismembered.
T4 mana dork. A Nexus attacks with 2 Rancors. 5 poison!
T5 Stormbreath Dragon. Stays back to defend. But he is dismembered and the 2x Rancor Nexus returns FTW. Infect 2-1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
T2: A Caryatid. It blocks the elf and gets a little smaller. An Ichorclaw Myr.

T4: Stormbreath Dragon. Hangs back. The Myr attacks, Rabblemaster blocks. A spellskite is cast.
T5: Jund adds a Mutavault and a new Rabblemaster. 3 Goblins attack, 1 is blocked by Spellskite. On Infect’s turn, the Myr attacks and the Caryatid chump blocks.
T6 4 goblins attack, 2 get blocked. The dragon gets dismembered, but that brings Infect to 5 life. Infect attacks, but Jund is only at 4 poison.
