So I didn't see any Grixis lists up for discussion, and I would truly like to revive it. The list below is what I've been testing for the past couple of days. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
Originally m,y favorite was Todd Lockwood, but I always find myself searching for Aleksi Brisclot and RK Post, as well as Kev Walker. So many artists, sorry, hard to choose a favorite.
Idk.... The name is a little, weird, but I can deal with that. Its more of the new look that bothers me. The first thing I thought when I saw that Gruul Draz Assassin was planeswalker. Well, I'll probably get used to it eventually, but all in all I like the way Figure of Destiny is worded better. The idea is definitely interesting though, and will probably turn out to be great fun.
So I've been testing Defiler of Souls in this deck. I added it because it seems resolving a Sphinx of Jwar Isle creates an opening for your opponents. Any thoughts? Also I seem to have trouble with fast paced aggro decks... What would be a good change?
I'm trying out this guy cause I think he will be rather fun in multiplayer, plus people are saying my Rafiq of the Many deck is too unfun... Suggestions would be most appreciated.
I would have to say my worst experience was playing in a local Legacy tournament. I was playing Mono Green Elves, that was geared for beating threshold,and I'm playing this guy who is piloting white thresh. Now I have a Concordant Crossroads, 2 Elvish Champions, 3 Sylvan Messengers, 2 Priest of Titania, 2 Quirrion Rangers, 1 Wirewood Symbiote and 2 Tribal Forcemages that have been morphed twice. He has a Counterbalance, 2 Tarmogoyfs, and a Trygon Predator.Now I swing in, with the champions, messengers, rangers, and forcemages. This was clearly beyond lethal. Now half way through attacking he flips the top card of his library and reveals a Trygon Predator, and says " The Forcemage is countered". I promptly say " Its to late for you to respond, You said it was ok." He flips out and says that he wasn't paying attention and I responded with "Sure, whatever fine, let's say you responded on time, the converted mana cost of a morph is 0." He calls me an idiot and a noob, and I asked our judge, who confirmed my intel. This guy gets all angry,and then we go to blockers. Which there's no need to do because he has a Tropical Island, and I have forestwalk. he attempts to block each Elvish Champion,and I say they have forestwalk. then he promptly says I'm a noob and that my guys were lords and nto elves. Now, I was using 7th Editon ones and it was a understandable mistake, so I corrected him, and pulled out a 9th edition version to show him. Then he says that the 9th edition one is an elf,but the 7th ones are not.... At first I was like "You're joking right?" Then I realized he was completely serious, so once again we called a judge. I proceeded to take that 2-0, and he stomped off angrily after the match. Overall I lost a significant amount of respect for the guy, he seemed like a rather seasoned player, but this experience made me think he wasn't as great as he appeared.
So I've joined a deck building challenge for an event going on next month.
There are a list of banned tribes, all the broken ones(humans, etc)
All of the tribal cards are pretty much banned (Coat of Arms, etc)
