Before there was Damnation, there was Infest.
Don't let the fact that we recently saw the best
black mass removal spell that will ever exist
fool you into thinking that other black mass
removal spells are bad. Sure, Infest is
unimpressive against many green decks or
anything else that can muster three toughness,
but it comes one turn earlier, affects Gaddock
Teeg and indestructible creatures, doesn't
invalidate any of your own Korlash-style heavy
hitters who may already be on the field, and
costs about $17 less.

Infest
Constructed:
Reprints always find there way back into current
decks. Can slow down Kithkin or any other small
weenie decks. Helps deal with creatures with
shroud also.
Casual:
Not going to see much play. You either have a
lot
of small creatures but most of the time they are
the big fatties.
Limited:
Great card to pick if you are heavy into black.
Hard to splash with the double black. Can really
help at the right time.
Overall a good reprint. Not as exciting as some
other reprints.
Constructed: 3
Casual: 3
Limited: 4

Infest Sorcery All creatures get
-2/-2 until end of turn.
Nice card all round but right now there's simply
better options. In standard you've got fire
spout and elsewhere damnation outshines it by
far. In limited however its quite a nice card.
A lot of the creatures in ALA have a fairly small
toughness so this can end up taking out quite a
chunk of the board.
