Index is a bad card and you should feel bad for playing it!
Don't waste deck spots when the card doesn't actively help you. Preordain and Ponder are gone an Index is not a replacement
This card makes my Grixis control deck Super happy. I have been having difficulty dealing with Planeswalkers like Garruk, Primal Hunter and his never ending tokens. Here's hoping that there will be even more awesome UBR cards being revealed soon.
Here is my build that I have been using at my local FNM. feel free to critique.
I was inspired to build this after I saw Patrick Chapin's List for GP Orlando take second place.
Soooo until they reprint Faith's Fetters I don't know how I'm supposed to deal with constant red deck's in my meta. There creature's aren't really what's getting at me, but their dang 12+ counter Shrine of Burning Rage's are hurting me. Back in zendikar i was happy because I had great life gain with Vampire Nighthawk, probably the best black three drop in along time.
Anyway back to the main point of this post, what can i do about the shrines?
