It was easier to add them there on my phone. T.T

Also, blightning? Should I consider it? It might be a better investment than lighning bolts?

Lots of updates made. Take a peek!

Gonna see if I can get my hands on a damnation. All the boys at FNM usually give me a good deal.

No one is cuter than me. Cute is my thing!

Serum visions sounds good. I'll main board the terminates. A damnation if I can get my hands on one. They tend to be spendy if I recall correctly.

Idk for sure what robots refers to. At least not entirely certain...

Interesting choice. I could certainly find some uses for that. However, I excited that I am getting a little bit of help with this deck. Its been a really big project for me and I'm excited to use it! :D

I'm not creative enough... or maybe brave enough to wield creative titles like a sword of clickbait.

Oh, I didn't even look at that. Hah. Good catch.

You know, I don't see a lot of Planeswalkers where I live. But, it seems that Dreadbore might just be superior to Terminate anyway. Do you think so?

I cruise the new/unloved section a lot. Sadly, I am not the greatest with suggestions all the time. I'm getting better as I gain more familiarity with the cards, but otherwise I have to just scroll through a database and look at cards or search for them by rule texts if there is something I can think that might be useful.

We're hanging out over at http://www.mtgvault.com/fairemont/decks/grixis-rage/

and making it awesome. Come help! :D

Ah, forgot to mention. I do have another creature removal option. It's a liiiittle situational, but if I have a multicolor permanent down, as well as Grimblade, I can Arcane Teachings him and he can just pluck away at the enemies with deathtouch. ^.^

Well, I have four terminates. I put 2 in main and 2 in sideboard for the deck preview on here. manaforge Cinder was initially there because I wanted to keep my mana versatile, but you're right, its very unnecessary now, and exhava could be replaced. Perhaps I'll replace them with stormbreaths!

Artifact removal for me is rather useful, at least in my Meta. One of the most dangerous decks I play against is a really insane artifact deck.

Alright, so. If I get rid of manaforge and Exhava, that leaves me with four open spaces in my deck. I'll probably sneak Thrax and Sedris out of my sideboard and put in some stormbreaths. I could get some removal. What do you recommend for removal? Anything in particular?

Hmm... True, true.

I suppose I could scrounge up a stormbreath or two and keep them around. Falkenrath is probably superior against a non-white deck or deck not containing exiles due to its indestructibility. But, that's just me. You get a +1 for that one.

Any recommendations on targeted removal? I have terminates for creatures, lightning bolts (might throw in some blightnings instead or swap as necessary?), which are usually decent, but I could use something different. I don't reeeally have to worry about creatures too much, so maybe something to get rid of artifacts/enchantments/etc?

I suppose the two-for-ones makes sense. It may make a difference if I play in different Meta, too. I did add the Clout of the Dominus to my sideboard which, though it is an enchantment and requires extra cards to be played, can give my big creatures like Grixis Grimblade or Flakenrath Aristocrat some shroud defense.

I see what you mean, though.

I will see about acquiring some blightning for sure, maybe some inquisitions, too.

I've never had trouble with big hitters. If I have fists on either Flakenrath or Grimblade, basically anything powerful is going to lose. First-strike and deathtouch on Grixis, and Indestructable and Wither on Aristocrat means that basically whatever they fight won't come out without being basically useless afterwards (or dead).

I could see adding some sort of token removal, though. Hmm... perhaps something like Drown In Sorrow to get rid of them? It's a pretty handy card and I could acquire one easy enough.

I don't know how much a threat burn is to my creatures. I'd be most worried about exiles or destroy target creature cards. Damage-based burns, not so much. Even the destroy creatures are only... minor problems. Most of my creatures come back from death, or have a way to stop themselves from being destroyed.

Mhm. I hope that someday one of the decks I create makes it to the front page. I thought I was going to get there with one of them, but it never showed up. It made me sad. I figured 7 likes and 28 comments would do it, since I've seen some on there with like, 4/3, but oh well. :(

I've not had a lot of problems with my creature-base, really. Most of them move rather quickly. Gravecrawler is a decent one drop that is difficult to get rid of since so many of my cards have zombie subtypes. Bloodghast is similarly persistent since its easy enough to get lands to bring it back. They both fuel Falkenkrath aristocrat which is just as dangerous as Stormbreath or Thundermaw, really, especially since it pairs well with Fists of the Demigod to give it +2/+2, wither and first strike on top of its flying. Grixis Grimblade gets +1/+1 for the multicolor permanent, as well as death touch, and then gets +2/+2 and first strike and wither from the Fists of the Demigod, neither of which are expensive since both have 2 CMC, which means that Grimblade is a like, 6/4 easily enough

Nicol Bolas doesn't reeeally have a place, but I own him and wanted to stick him in somewhere, so I did. Besides, if I do put him on the field he is pretty scary. I don't know if adding things like Demigod of Revenge, Thundermaw or Stormbreath would really make the deck more dangerous or faster, for that matter, since my combos are cheaper and faster, in my opinion. O.o

Right, right! I imagine so. Morph/manifest does not strike me as a particularly aggro-ish deck. More midrange/control with its flip abilities and more expensive cards. But! For aggro, R/G is usually the way to go.

Its my most competitive deck. Not that that says much, but in terms of my FNM buddies and stuff it holds up pretty well. I'm not entirely sure if I would call it aggro, but it can move pretty quick in the early game. Its primary function is making use of the multi-colored permanents and fists of the demigod to make dangerous creatures, particularly Grixis Grimblade who can become really dangerous on like, turn 2-3 if things go properly. Falkenkrath aristocrat is similar. The ability to sacrifice to make her invulnerable is no concern since I can sac grave crawler or bloodghast and they come right back. It gives me reliable powerhouses.

Ah! :3

Right! I've not tried to make use of morph/manifest yet, but its definitely something I've considered trying to build.

I made a deck that is probably my most competitive for modern. Its really fun too!

If you want to take a look at it, its http://www.mtgvault.com/fairemont/decks/help-grixis-rage/

No, but manifest sort of does the same thing. You'd end up with a bunch of colorless 2/2s to put it on. ^.^

A card that is pretty handy with manifest/morph is ghostfire blade! Easy way to make them a little more dangerous, then flip them for cheaper equip! :D

Also, Master of Pearls and Dragon Eye Savants are neat in this sort of decks for their flip abilities.


Edit: Sneaking my deck in!
