Plague Stinger

Infect's Power Level

I think Infect stands out for its power level. Consider Double Strike, which also needs only "10 power" to win the game: there Double Strike at 1 CMC. The cheapest double-strikers with evasion have CMC 3 and 1 power. I assume Glistener Elf, Plague Stinger or Blighted Agent with Double Strike instead of Infect would be similarly abused.

Infect wasn’t powerful enough to be relevant in Standard. It’s playable in Modern because of access to a number of very powerful Giant Growth effects.
