Aggro infect dead after rotation?

[krako]

Hello there guys,

i am playing aggro infect and i am looking every day the spoiler to see if some pump spells will come out with M12.

Only one! Titanic Growth and this for two mana

So aggro infect is long gone after rotation as we loose Groundswell, Prey's Vengeance, Giant Growth and so many others and we get nothing in response?

doubt this is in the appropiate forum, but anyway..

You have Mutagenic Growth, Mirran Mettle (you will have to tweak to get metalcraft IF you want it) and Untamed Might. Innistrad will most likely have some random G costed +X/+0 or +X/+X pump spell in it

It'll be fine man. They didn't print a bunch of stuff in Scars block just to make it useless when Zendikar rotates out.

the current shape of aggro infect(RG/WG/UG) will not survive the rotation in october. the most winning decks of the archtype loose about 80% of their sideboard, and about 50% of their deck(excluding lands). Even with Titanic Growth to replace the vines(2 mana for +4/+4) we loose the troll shroud pump that the vines were. Mirran metal would replace Groundswell, which requires us to have plenty of low cost artifacts. the deck changes significantly and looses most of it's power.

Innistrad will probably support infect. I mean, they wouldn't print infect without giving it support in the block that follows.

My mono blue architect infect will continue to work just fine since the only card lost in rotation as far as I can remember is everflowing, other than that its great.

As for now there is no replacer for any of the good spells of the deck. Even Titanic Growth is not as good as any of the pump spells we loose with Zendicar Block.

Aggro infect will just change, not disapear. The hexproof haste boots are going to be sick with infect guys.
