I have seen some lists play up to 4 Snaps. The reasoning is that since so much discard is going around, it adds options for after your hand is in your graveyard. And then post sideboard you can put even more valuable spells in your deck for even better snap targets.
I am almost positive Smugglers Copter is straight busted in Faeries. Ceremonius Rejection has a ton of good uses. I have this almost put together and am going to run it this coming Saturday.
Channel Fireball and PV did a Faeries playlist!!!! Weird list though.
Hearing his thought process on different plays was really interesting. I wonder why he has Liliana the last hope instead of LotV. Seems veil would be better...but I'm no magic pro either lol.
@Nardraug
Thanks so much for this report. I've been watching your twitch streams daily, and I am totally sold on faeries for my first modern deck. I'm slowly working towards getting all the cards. Watching your streams have been very helpful, sucks about the DQ..but plz keep up the quality streaming.
I replaced 4x Grasp of Darkness with 4x Fatal Push. And replaced 2x Essence Extraction with 2x Murder. Herald of Anguish is a bit tricky to get out at a nice improvise discount. Thats because of sacrificing all the servos for other reasons. But that was just my experience in the few games I played.
Definitely makes sense...can't wait to start play testing
I was thinking fatal push over essence extraction. I've yet to play the deck though. Did you cut some Grasps for the Pushes? I'm also gonna have that Herald of Anguish. He seems like my fav card of the set
Bloodghast was really good in the deck. Great synergy with smallpox and liliana otv.
The only time it was not great was when i drew three in a row when i really needed something else against affinity in the one game i lost. For that reason i switched the 4th copy for my 4th inquisition of kozilek instead.
Vampiric rites was good when i drew it and won me a game against jund in combination with a bloodghast. I liked the card iverall but i still want to try more things in this slot. Currently switched it to try a one of copy of profane command.
Hows your deck doing?
I'm very new to modern, but I love all things mono black. I just got my cards this week for my mono black devotion deck. But my goal is to play a more Gate like version. I love Bitterblossom, and Dark Confidant and the whole idea. Just gotta slowly get the cards! So I'm kinda just lurking and reading ideas.

interesting that he has a Laboratory Maniac on his SB..seems like a nice plan B.for me it's a little sketchy with it's mana base basically your chance to put it into play is that 1 manamorphose or power it out via TTB,still lab maniac is prone to a lot of removal.it's a lil too fancy for me to pull off..I can see the surprise value though.
other than that looks like the deck is finally ready to bust outta it's shell(Get Banned) with today's meta.
Hasn't this deck performed well in the past? Why get bannned now?
not really..Bob Huang and Jerome Bastogne are the only players i can think of that took the Deck to the top at a Major Tourney..Grishoalbrand was always a prime target for banning because it's a non-interactive deck and frequently cheats the turn 4 no win rule,2 things wizards
does not want in a healthy gaming envoirment..i remember back in 2015 when the shoal version first came out a lot of people was saying it was going to be banned(instead amulet bloom got the axe) but i guess wizards never bothered due to the fact that it has consistency issues and the fact that a not a lot of players played with it for reasons:
1.like i said Consistency.
2.Fear of the Deck being Banned.
3.It's a really complicated Combo Deck.
now is the time where i think the meta game is slow due to the popularity of urzatron decks,Scapeshift/Breach decks,Eldrazi..etc.(matchups that are favorable to us.) and the banning of Gitaxian probe which i think slowed down Infect,Death shadow,U/R Prowess and affinity is really not popular nowadays(Decks that we Matched Poorly)..makes Grishoalbrand really good now and if it's good it's gonna put up numbers in tourney's and once that happens it gonna find itself in Wizards radar and when it does..say good bye to Griseldaddy,Borbor & W-Spine..although if Wizard is gonna Ban anything from the deck it's gonna be either Goryo's Vengeace(Too good for it's CC) or Nourshing Shoal(Enabler & free to cast)[/quote
Damn...I really hope not. This was gonna be a deck I was gonna buy for my birthday. Maybe I'll wait till after the next ban announcement
