Infect plays Treasure Crise rather than Become Immense?

[Demagoguery]

Infect plays Treasure Crise rather than Become Immense?

Why wouldn't they? They already have plenty of free and one G costing pump spells, their big down fall is removal in response to pump, so drawing more cards, especially off their burned pump is perfectly fine.

In short, the extra pump spell doesn't seem good enough, but I could be wrong.

Edit: The other issue is that Become Immense doesn't really give you more benefit than say Invigorate or Might of Old Krosa, being that Invigorate is the best option since it's free and dodges most counter magic, the difference between +6 and +4 becomes very minor, so drawing 3 is massively better in that situation.  

As in two hits with +4 are a kill, just like two hits of +6 or +6 and +4 on a one power guy.

Treasure Cruise infect?! Be still my beating heart! That looks monstrous...might have to dust off the old Berserks. And loving the Storm build, too. I hope all this innovation in the format can persist.

Congrats to all.

The UG Infect deck looks cool. It does only have 59 cards in the main board, anyone know what was missing?

(perhaps the one-of Become Immense?)

[EyeOfTheStorm]

The list is missing a Time Walk. He failed to register it and had to play an additional Forest instead.
