y u w8 for sparkmage if you have bolt in hand?
even if they activate reliquary abilitt first i may responded it with terminate killing sovereign or baneslayer, and killing their reliquery by assasin before the land drops.
anyone can tell me on beating mono green tokens. really hard time beating them..
2 consume the meeks are not enough, i think hemmorhage naming beastial menace or beastmaster ascension might do..
im running the bolas build and happy sofar. destroyed a naya vengvine and black/white midrange aggro.. still hard time on winning on mono green tokens. w. online ascension. and got mana screw on R/U kiln deck last fnm..
this was my list probaly changing sb with royal assasin
oh yeah my meta here is different many got homebrews and sumthing still we got U/W/r super friends, mirror grixis, mono green tokens, naya venge, b/r midrange, valakut, jund, almost we got everything..
and i dont what to side in and side out.. noob on sideboarding.. can somebody help?
Couple Notes:
I went back to Negate: Just wanted to free up some of the early COLOR Requirements. Since dropping SAC lands and just boosting my colored sources, I haven't ran into color problems hardly at all. Tectonics still pose a problem in the early going here and there, but hardly enough that I need to be concerned with it. The benefit that it gives me with Spreading Seas in the MB far out weights the possible draw back. Its been few and far between! But either way, since it is a slight concern that IT WILL happen here and there, I went back to Negate, to lessen the color requirements on my EARLY stuff.
Sorin has been a very nice welcome addition to the Bolas build. Without having a great draw engine, I didn't think I would see him that often. But that hasn't been the case. Bunch of games I got him as per normal, and others it took a slightly large Mind Spring to get him. But he's been very very nice in this deck.
Heres the question: What is your guys take on Consuming Vapors? It seems great in some matchups, but very ineffective in others.
Do you guys think I could drop 1 Vapors to boost Terminate up to 4?
I am a little concerned for decks like RDW and other very fast aggro decks PRE-BOARD.
I playtested quite of a few matches yesterday and was very dominant VS control type decks. Haven't gotten to test the aggro matchup as much as I'd like... I am getting the deck ready for GAMEDAY, so I would appreciate an answer to my question.
THANKS! I know the Bolas build isn't the preferred build, but I like to be different, and sometimes different can win you some matches where you would possibly not have.
hey mr. rotten i think consuming vapors is best as side board, me i used it only on control matchups like gladiators w/ denial, or mirror grixis with jwar isle.
consume the meek is better i think.
i just have a problem with mono green tokens with god draw. a turn 1 forest playing joraga treespeaker, turn 2 forest level up treespeaker explore play forest play llanowar/ arbor elf, turn 3+ producing tokens.
got a pretty even match ups today i forgot my dual lands on my other decks so i got so many tapped lands and this day fnm i scored 3-1 the 1 win is a bye..
last week i passed because something happened.
the grixis charm really helps me on matchups..
i can return their land on their upkeep for delay or kill their creatures example killing baneslayer with my sedraxis specter XD, and attacking with 1 Sedraxis, 1 Unearthed sedraxis, 1 emarkul's hatcher and three tokens using the grixis charm as an overrun.
the matchup i have problem to is the new warpworld with lots of spawn tokens and experiencing consume the meek is not enough form them..
nice card..
might see both red and green titans in there..
and with cultivate harrow and those many.2 ramp cards..
this deck made my grixis on the binder sucks.. i use my mindsculptor as sb to control matchups.
i still want to use this deck when m11 out and after rotation in 4 months.
hope there will be good replacement for the cards that will be type 1.
and everyone in my local meta dont know this type of deck..
wondering what can we replace on the alarablock cards in this deck. just wondering.. im sure it will be still alive..

a reaally way to far to our standard grixis.
thinking what will we counter if their hand is empty and we still keep fatesealing them.
so i run 3 counters.. 3 counter squalls.
2 consume the meeks are not enough, i think hemmorhage naming beastial menace or beastmaster ascension might do..
