Notes
 
[u]Basic Idea[/u]
I saw some decks that used infect/toxic and proliferate recently, and I simply wanted to see if it was possible to make such a deck in pauper. So here is my take on this strategy.

[u]Tests[/u]
I have tested this deck against other pauper decks using XMage. The decks I tested against are a mixture of Control and Aggro and the result are recorded in a spreadsheet. If you're interested in details from the spreadsheet, feel free to ask.

[u]Conclusions from the tests[/u]
I've not expected much from this deck and sure, it is rather slow to play. But it has enough elements to keep most opponents under control, but often only barely.
[[Festercreep]] was a great surprise in this deck and was able to shut down life-gain and tokens easily. [[Disowned Ancestor]] also worked very well, tough you have to find a good moment to give him a +1/+1 counter and then start proliferating.
