Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for grixis grinder

Hi TribalH3adHunt3r,

You asked me to look at your deck.

Wow, lot of 1 of's in the deck. At first I thought I was looking at a EDH deck till I scrolled down.

Why so many 1 of's, fear of Surgical Extraction? ;-))

First off you have 12 cards that are 5 mana or higher this is not good unless you have some way to
put them into play cheaply, you don't, so first off I'd work hard to include more mana efficient cards.

Here is a short list of what I consider the best low mana cost Legacy cards in black, blue, and red.

Black
Thoughtseize, Surgical Extraction, Go for the Throat, Doom Blade, Innocent Blood, Smallpox, Dark Confidant, Entomb, Reanimate, Dark Ritual, Dismember

Blue
Force of Will, Brainstorm, Ponder, Gitaxian Probe, Spell Pierce, Spell Snare, Mana Leak, Snapcaster Mage, Jace, the Mind Sculpter, Phyrexian Metamorph

Red
Lightning Bolt

Red Black
Terminate

Blue Black
Countersquall

Using the above cards and your land base here's what I come up with

22 Spells
4 Thoughtsieze
4 Surgical Extraction
4 Spell Pierce
2 Brainstorm
2 Gitaxian Probe (or 2 Dismember)
3 Terminate
3 Countersquall

18 Creatures
4 Dark Confidant
4 Snapcaster Mage
4 Avatar of Discord
2 Jace the Mind Sculpter
2 Phyrexian Metamorph
2 Bloodgift Demon

Note: How Avatar of Discord sort of helps Snapcaster Mage and
Jace the Mind Sculpter and Dark Confidant may help against the disadvantage of Bloodgift Demon.
Phyrexian Metamorph works with Snapcaster Mage

Your Land base
20 Land
2x Swamp
1x Dimir Aqueduct
1x Izzet Boilerworks
1x Rakdos Carnarium
2x Badlands
2x Underground Sea
2x Volcanic Island
1x Crosis's Catacombs
1x Graven Cairns
1x Sunken Ruins
1x Cascade Bluffs
2x Crumbling Necropolis
2x Island
1x Mountain

How I might of done the land base
3 Badlands
3 Underground Sea
4 Polluted Delta
4 Bloodstained Mire
2 Mountain
2 Island
2 Cavern of Souls

To recap
1. Use the most efficient cards you can
2. Try to put together cards that have good synergy with each other
3. Try to make your land base very reliable

Hope this gives you an idea of how develop more efficient decks.

its a good concept but i agree u need to focus the deck more bud. deff more copies of ur better cards should be added and ur mana curve should be watched carfully. 10 cards at 6 mana or more???????? not a good idea there.

sorry for sounding mean but honestly i dont see this deck being 45-2. either ur lucky or the ppl u play aint that good. again sorry just being honest.

on a different note, can u let me in on how u want the deck set up??? u want a miller or life drainer, or maybe just a straight control style????????
