Grixis Tezzeret

Back in the Old days, Grixis :symu::symb::symr: combination was Fatal.
Card advantage. Every card in old grixis deck gave card advantage.

Everycard in the deck was against the meta.
Access to manlands like lavaclaw AND creeping tarpit, which is always a great attacker to enemy planeswalkers.
Removal like Lightning bolts against RDW and Vampires...
Spreading seas against the very popular Jund and against manlands...
Terminate, the best removal in my opinion... removed everything... Goblin guide, Baneslayer ... Putrid leech, which our bolts didn't kill
Countersquall vs enemies powerfull spells, mind sludge, planeswalkers, etc...

Anyway.. moving on.
Grixis colores gives us the most powerfull cards in everymoment...
Blue gives us access to counterspells, card advantage spells
Black gives us removal, card advantage cards, discard
and Red...
Red gives us burn.

So when SoM just got out, i fell in love with 2 for 1 cards, as Alien, our lovely Toolbox, our Counterspell in standard and a few Duals...
Enough to me to play a Grixis Colored deck.
At that moment, i had one of the best control creatures in standard, Frosty, and a tons of 0 - 1 cost artifacts, so playtesting with my team, we put together our standard grixis control

MAIN DECK 2 Cunning Sparkmage 2 Frost Titan 3 Skinrender 3 Trinket Mage 2 Jace Beleren 2 Jace, the Mind Sculptor 1 Basilisk Collar 1 Brittle Effigy 2 Consuming Vapors 1 Disfigure 3 Doom Blade 1 Elixir of Immortality 2 Everflowing Chalice 1 Into the Roil 4 Mana Leak 4 Preordain 1 Stoic Rebuttal	3 Creeping Tar Pit 1 Darkslick Shores 1 Dragonskull Summit 4 Drowned Catacomb 4 Island 1 Lavaclaw Reaches 1 Mountain 4 Scalding Tarn 4 Swamp 2 Tectonic Edge	SIDEBOARD 3 Flashfreeze 2 Memoricide 3 Negate 1 Nihil Spellbomb 2 Spell Pierce 4 Spreading Seas

After a while the meta warped and it no longer control as it used to.
It wus Grixis moment to fall.
After giving me great matchups it finally fell ...
Meta, you have won this battle, but not the WAR.

Now the metal is heavily leaning to Rock - Scissor, it wus time to remove the dust from all the red black blue cards, and make a new Grixis deck.
Grixis Metal.
Standard gaved us in MBS a pack of new weapons, being the most important a Planeswalker, Tezzy. Artefacts like Tumbler Magnet, Removal like Black Sun's Zenit, Contagion Clasp, and tonz of cards the Synergy.
So... the list

Grixis Metal 2.0 1 Wurmcoil Engine 2 Chandra Nalaar 2 Jace Beleren 3 Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas 1 Black Sun's Zenith 2 Brittle Effigy 2 Contagion Clasp 3 Everflowing Chalice 4 Galvanic Blast 2 Mox Opal 4 Preordain 3 Prophetic Prism 2 Pyroclasm 3 Sphere of the Suns 4 Tumble Magnet	2 Blackcleave Cliffs 3 Creeping Tar Pit 4 Darkslick Shores 2 Inkmoth Nexus 2 Island 2 Mountain 4 Scalding Tarn 3 Tectonic Edge	SIDEBOARD 2 Duress 3 Flashfreeze 2 Inquisition of Kozilek 3 Phyrexian Revoker 4 Spreading Seas 1 Wurmcoil Engine

A Grixis Controlish version of Superfriends.
Uses Tezz to tool box artefacts, Chandra to keep control of creatures on table, and able to damage opponent if control is already established, Jace for card advantage, and Sarkhan is more card advantaje, and being able to turn a manland into a 5/5 flier.
Give Tezz and Chandra a few turns together and game will be finish fastly.

When the meta is dullish and two decks own the meta, Grixis will always arise.

Thanks for reading.

Actually, i have done well with this deck, i haven't had any mayor troubles.
Chandra is an excelent pw in this deck, kills anything in standard atm, Jace is also great, having tonz of cantrips in the deck, being able to deal with jtms. Mana curve doesnt bother, having tonz of mana ramping artefacts.
If you test out the deck and give me concrete reasons about your criteria, it'll help a lot more than just looking at the deck and judging.
Your right, though, Sarkhan is bad here, i took him out for another chandra. liliana used to be in the deck, but didn't fit for what i was aiming.
The reason i'm not running 4 tezz is because i only have 3.
its not MWS deck, this is my actual deck i am playing with the cards i have testing against meta decks.

the deck seems pretty loose in a lot of ways. Firstly, theres really no reason not to run four maindeck tezzerets, or any reason to run chandra. Chandra is pretty terrible right now, and if you want to be playing a five mana planeswalke rit should probably be lily. Honestly, the numbers inn the deck appear incredibly random, and you talk about a toolbox, but really don't have a definitive toolbox, but rather just tezzeret hoping to hit your random numbers. If you want a toolbox, trinket or treasure mage is probably the best way to go. Also, sarkhan is terrible, and the fact you have him in a deck with one creature, and a high mana curve seems bad, and it looks like you just crammed random planeswalkers into a deck not because they make sense, but because you have them and as such want to play them. Jace beleren? Honestly, bayb jace is fine if your already playing a set of mindsculptors, but right now there is no reason not to be playing big jace as he his the best card in standard undoubtedly. If your just looking to play a deck with random expensive cards thrown in, then this is fine, but if your looking to win tournaments this won't suffice. Expect to find yourself in the 0-2 bracket rather quickly. I'm not trying to bash you, just trying to abbrasively help you out. Peace

Hi

I don't like your Pyroclasm maindeck, but your deck looks nice
