4 colors for infect, and only 5 infect bodies?
You're stretching yourself pretty thin. Very weak against removal (including wasteland) and control (you don't really have answers to FoW or neutering effects like Sadistic Sacrament), and aggro and combo too.I'm not really convinced that Infect is Legacy-viable, but you'd be much better going off with bug, ug, or bu.
You need to run some control to help protect your dudes, because infect creatures are so vanilla on their own. The Vines of Vastwood are a good start. I'd go with UG so i could run counters and bounce for blockers alongside pump. It might work more eficiently than trying to slowly do 10 damage over 5-6 turns.
then just green/artifact infect dudes and loads of pump, including no less than 4 invigorate, vines of vastwood, and berserk. Your regulars like Giant Growth and Groundswell aren't too bad. Maybe even Distortion Strike could be of some use. __________________
If you can make/print proxies, i will trade for them.
Also looking for Microprose MTG computer game. Will trade for that or consider buying for cheap. Please pm

Thanks to Sovarious for the advice.
Anyone else have some thoughts? I would really like to try to keep it to G/B/r/w as I dont have any Blue Duals.Thanks in advance!

I'd cut the red, as it really just clutters things up. BWG is more than sufficient. Sovarius is right, you need to put a little more control in to slow down your opponent and protect your dudes. With a lot of cheap spells, you'll also need card advantage. Consider working in Dark Confidant, Vindicate/Maelstrom Pulse. Also, you need more infect creatures. You should have 4 Crusaders, plus 4 of another little guy (I'd suggest Plague Stinger, as flying is good evasion, especially in Legacy) The pump card you should be using is Rancor. It's permanent, recursive, and stupid with Infect. Keep the Berserks for now. I think it should look something like this to start: Creatures
4x Noble Hierarch
4x Dark Confidant
4x Plague Stinger
4x Phyrexian Crusader
2x Skittles Other Spells
4x Thoughtseize
4x Hymn to Tourach
4x Rancor
3x Berserk
4x Swords to Plowshares
2x Vindicate Land
4x Inkmoth Nexus
4x Bayou
3x Scrubland
3x Verdant Catacomb
3x Windswept Heath
2x Swamp
2x Forest

I had forgotten about Invigorate, that's a good choice. Rouse I'm not as hot on, but it does work. I think I might prefer to see a Might of Old Krosa there instead.However, I'm not sure a go-for-the-throat approach is right here. It doesn't really pan out well in Standard, and there is a ton more disruption in Legacy. If it doesn't kill right away, it has no mid-game. It seems like it would suffer from 10 Land Stompy Syndrome.

Why not trying tarmogoyf + tainted strike? Or Stiflenought + tainted strike for that matter?
