And most of my Magic time has been brewing and playing with Feather, the Redeemed which is definitely my 2nd favorite deck to Grenzo.
I just started playing around with her on MTGO trying to get a list for paper. Do you have a list? I was running a spellslinger style so far, its so much fun!
I do still need to grab a foil Liliana, Heretical Healer as I feel she needs another round of testing in my own list. Discard, recursion, and she exists as one of the only planeswalkers that Grenzo can actually flip.
One game recently I got her to Ult with the blockers and removal i had available, and it was pretty much over on the spot as she gets all players creatures with her emblem <3
I'm still trying to find a good, viable way to get cards out of your hand, and either into the graveyard, or on the bottom of the deck.
I have run into similar issues and have switched between a few cards to be able to dump my hand. Currently I have had luck with Liliana, Heretical Healer and Sadistic Hypnotist as they both cover multiple applications, although I am running Teferi's Puzzle Box in my list which seems to smooth things out for me if I can land it.
Ok so in my FNM randomish meta, i have run into a lot of superfriends or just janky PW style decks. Which do you think would be a better add Thief of Blood or Vampire Hexmage or both/something else?
I am wondering if you have suggestions on how to tune this deck to play in no particular meta. I dont have a playgroup but go to a couple large stores in my area for FNM commander pods and some casual games. There are so many different people I end up playing with, its hard to pin down which cards should be a standard if I never know what im up against. Some people play really competitive, but others maybe 50%. I've flip-flopped on cards likeSilent Arbiter, Balthor the Defiled and Mindclaw Shaman though the deck always preforms really well. Its just tough when you know you dont happen to have a good answer for a specific problem when it comes up.
Got to try out the GRN cards we added in a bit tonight with Goblin Cratermaker and Plaguecrafter!
managed to flip a clutch cratermaker in response to Platinum Emperion getting equipped with boots for a scoop from that player (tbf he was gonna die in a moment)
Stylusing my plaguecrafter every round was able to net me a nice win vs a voltron enchantress deck, and a superfriends that were in full swing.
Great additions so far for sure! I still am tweaking your list to work with this weird mostly random meta from paid pods, but its been so smooth and gets lots of compliments lol
Wow, this deck cleans up pods at my FNM! Some of the games were a bit grindy to get the win, but knowing I will be able to dig to so many ways to win, and am able to dodge lots of removal along the way... So damn good.
Part of what drew me to this list was being a control player at heart, and this deck definetly scratches that itch really well.
I recall some talk about Whisper, but I've got to sing her praises. She's infinitely better than Junktroller.
Since she's independent of Grenzo, she can help hold up mana in exchange for spent etb creatures, and her sacrifice cost means she is part of another infinite combo win-con.
If the Army-in-a-Can creature is Marionette Master, you win alone through her damage. Siege Gang provides infinite 1/1 goblins. I also have Mogg War Marshal in my own build, which means he wins the game depending on who your random dork is (still oppressive if it doesn't win). Kiki/Phyrexian Delver/Puppeteer Clique can pull bad impressions of the bodies depending on what's in who's graves.
I've been having great results since switching Junktroller to Whisper as well!

This spell costs {2} less for each creature card in your graveyard. Whenever a creature you control dies, put it on the bottom of its owner's library.
2B, Pay 2 life: Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. Activate this ability only any time you can cast a sorcery.
