Our meta is pretty strong with a lot of wrath and removal and it can stall my infect deck but recovery is fast since I run alot of the small infect guys. Personally I would never run BSC because I have been briberied before…the worse thing that happens is they get my corruptor or blight dragon and I have to deal with it. Infect is fun, viable and I don't think ten poison counters in edh should be changed. If you must, just hate on the player first and take him out, like any other powerful edh. Finally aggro in edh is possible ahahaha

Surestrike Trident, which I've hardly ever seen before, is now going to give me nightmares! 6 mana you're dead?

I can understand the reasoning against BSC, but I'm interested why infect as a whole seems to have such a bad reputation in your areas, given that so few infect cards have been printed so far.

Also, I think shenanigans will ensue if you gave Blightsteel Colossus deathtouch. How can you forget to mention Wing Puncture?
