InfeXtious Crusader (Version 1.5) - Part 2

Here's another installment to Version 1.5 of the above said deck. These tournament results were a bit late though, as I have to catch-up with reality (work), and joined the PTQ Honolulu 2012 (at Eton Cyberpod Corinthian, Ortigas) last Saturday. It was a decent 5-2 finish, losing both to Nick Ortega and Lawrence Camangon, who both made the final Top 8. Going back, before I give you the deck's latest results, let me show you a summary of the earlier versions of the deck.

Version 1: 3-1 (7-5, total games played)

Version 1.1: 2-2 (5-4, total games played)

P.S. I just noticed during the last PTQ Honolulu 2012 at Eton, that there were a good number of Infect decks that are being play-tested in between the sealed rounds. For those who have already tried the deck IRL, please feel free to post your results here. X means your dead. :)
