I really like this deck. I just don't think grief/ ephemerate will make it Tier 1. the jund and rakdos decks that are up in Tier one maybe play Grief as well, but I don't think it will be a huge impact on the meta yet. I am excited to see where Soulherder decks go.

You could remove the Masked Blackguard for Thieves' Guild Enforcer and then drop 1 Zareth, 1 Anticognition, 1 Glacial Grasp, and 1 capture Sphere for 4 Drown in the Loch. this would make it operate a little smoother with a better removal and synergizing more with rogues and rogue payoff's.
You could use Rally the Ranks instead of Glorious Anthem. its cheaper and doesn't rely on double white mana. you will only lose out on buffing the humans you make.You could also add Knight-Exemplar and Knight of the White Orchid for another buff and ramp (since you labeled this as modern).
Thank you for the suggestions! I do believe after I added the Kolaghan's Command it was feeling like a Delver deck so I ended up cutting Kroxa. Robber of the Rich may be more of a include now, but I won't be as reliant on my graveyard so Overwhelmed Apprentice doesn't quite fit anymore. Lurrus might also be under performing in this regard, but playtesting more will tell.I will be posting a Grixis Control variant that will go towards a true Kroxa deck. I will probably be adding Robber and Apprentice.
New Changes! I no longer run Primal Surge.
I have adapted this deck to my needs over the last several months, Sylvan Library, The Great Henge, Chrome Mox, Force of Will, Fierce Guardianship, and so on. these were awesome upgrades and I am hoping to find more to upgrade with!
I love this deck! (saw it on Tollarian Community Collage ) Is there any improvements to add after Throne of Eldrain and Theros, Beyond Death?Any cards that seem more flexible to cut than others?
My budget is flexible, and I already have Ulamog, Ceaseless Hunger. Thank you on your input.
Why do you think on cutting Lightning Greaves? I was almost thinking Akroma's Memorial due to cost. I just brainstorming!
I agree on Cyclonic Rift, it is a placeholder for Craterhoof Behemoth. I forgot that Venser.
Thank you for the input! What would you cut? I'm thinking as a start, cutting Pir and Toothy.
Looks good man! I did like the Nissa's, but this is looking great.
You should keep the winding constrictors in. they are cornerstones in both Hardened Scales and Explore. Maybe take out;-2 x Tireless Trackers-1 x Walking Ballista-1 x Collected Companyand +4 x Winding ConstrictorsYou could possibly take out up to 2 x Forest and add others due to your curve being low
Path of Discovery looks like it may fit with the ramp you have. Also adding some removal like Fatal Push could help out
https://www.mtgvault.com/quinningham/decks/janky-golem-deck/I copied your deck and looked at some changes, darksteel forge should go in somewhere because shattering spree or vandal blast will ruin this. but its deffinately fun.
if you have the Workshops, great! but for budget and I think it works better, you could drop the workshops and drop 2 of all of thos other lands (should be a total of 12) and put in the Tron lands (urzas tower, factory, mine). and then drop sol ring for expedition map. maybe find some room to add in some Basic Wastes. with all of that it should be legal in vintage, legacy, and modern. I like this
You have 2 hamilar depths. illegal move bruh. I like this idea though!
Trophy mage doesn't make sense since you don't have any Artifacts cmc 3. try another Flux Channeler and 3 Fabricates. Keeps it budget and has a more consistent feel.
I have been going through a lot of your decks, and damn are they good. To update this a little I think Panharmonicon would make a great addition.
For a fun filled win, maybe add a Metalwork Colossus. With Revel in Riches or Mechanized Production, you should have plenty of Treasure out to cast MC, then Spell Swindle your own MC. insta-10 Treasures!!!!!!
