Wouldn't Shadow Rift be superior to Infiltrate?

[Alfred]

Wow! Yes it would! Thank you very much.

[Ephraim]

Shadow Rift is not always a superior choice to Infiltrate. The extra card is always nice, but there are black and white aggro builds that both use creatures with shadow. Now, granted, you minimize the number of blockers they have, but you're also wasting one of your three spells that says 'Tog to the dome. Depending on what's showing up in your environment, Shadow Rift may be the best choice, but not always. Right now, it's probably safe, since black and white aggro aren't very prevalent, at the moment. White Weenie hasn't been sufficiently tech'd to deal with mono-black control. (well, not traditional white weenie. I've got a W/R aggro build that can handle MBC decently well)

Just play Ensnare. It's more damage, too.

[Matt]

But Ensnare is uncommon.

I was just wondering how fast these decks actually kill someone? cause I i've made a pretty interesting deck out of mostly commons that would almost completely fit into this format.


10  forest
10  islands


3 Rush of knowledge
2 Krosan drovers



4 Metamorphosis
4 Energy taps

3 Dispersal shields
4 Titanic Bulvox
2 Krosan tuskers
4 Fierce empaths
3 Acclerrated mutations
2 Counterspell
3 Rush of knowledge
1 Echo truth
4 Chormatic spheres
2 Isochron Scepter

I am not sure how good it would nor what to use in the side board but, its a start. The object of this deck is to drop an egotist then you use either energy tap to add colorless mana to your pool ( for rushing for 8 cards) or metamorphosis which is like a sorcery verison of food chain for one green. ( to drop something big like a bulvox. The Bulvox was just my initial changed I used to use thorn elemental. Any input on this deck would be helpful. The sideboard is really hard for any tournament in this type It seems like red is a popular color with most of the research I seen. But, this deck is capable of dropping bug creatures rather quickly sometimes by turn .  I'll pick up the scepters soon to do some testing and post back.
