When Affinity/Infect/Burn was at it's worst at my local gamestore, I made a really cheap Bitterblossom-less BW Tokens deck that does quite well. Having fetches also helps a lot. I've notice each of them shot up a few bucks in price since I last remembered. edit: Speaking of fetches, I cracked a Flooded Strand Expedition, but apparently, a lot of them that get opened are pretty damaged. | ||

I was actually looking at soul sisters since my idea of "cheap" deck right now is really just less than $1 per card NOT counting the landbase which I can work towards. | ||

Need the fatties for Tron though, just like hwo y ou need Heirachs/Inkmoths for Infect, and Eidolons/Guides for Burn.

Send it to wizards, they've apparently been really on the ball replacing damaged ones. Just contact customer service first! | ||

Some people asked me why you wouldn't want to just do six packs of the new set and I wasn't sure how to explain it. Is there a concise way to put it? It's actually 4 of the new set, (Oath of the Gatewatch) and 2 of BFZ. This is because OGW is a 'small set,' with fewer cards than a full size set like BFZ (~270), and so sealed/draft would have problems like too few playable commons/uncommons in specific colours were you to only draft with the 'small' set. They are designed to be drafted together. Now that's not to say you CAN'T do a 6 pack sealed with OGW only, it's just not the ideal, or the supported format. | ||

You should tell us which one you are though so we can cheer you on in future events  well if you ever see Donald Smith on the feature match or top tables, that's me!

They didn't top 8 tho so it feels like CFB with esper dragons where they had a breakout deck but no one really payed attention. yea i forgot about that deck. hard for me to remember things like that and UB aristocrats because I'm not watching coverage and there aren't many people on the lists (so it's hard to spot just walking around). with that said, hopefully the decks catch on. | ||

The basic gameplan is to be reactive in the early game, dealing incidental damage with Draconic Roar and triggers from Thunderbreak Regent. Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury is then used to quickly end the game in a combat step or two. So far I've been quite happy with the results, with decent results angainst the top decks like Jeskai, Atarka red and G/W megamorph. What's the advantage of Grixis over Mardu Blue? My friend is working on a Mardu Dragons list + Blue for Dragonlord Ojutai, Dragonlord Silumgar, and Treasure Cruise. What does your list look like? | ||

If I were to splash white, I'd replace the digs with cruises, icefalls with ojutai, and replacing path and Ob with Crackling Doom. While Ojutai is definitely more powerful than Icefall, I like the versatility of Path and Ob over Doom. In particular, Path provides a decent answer to walkers, which can otherwise be a problem for the deck. When it comes to my list, I'm currently considering cutting the 3rd Icefall Regent for either a Dispel or a 4th Anticipate, and in my board I'm considering cutting Despise for a 2nd Plague or a 4th Flames. | ||

That list looks actually cool, I'm going to share that with my friend. I asked for his list and this is what he has so far: Creatures 16 4 Soulfire Grand Master 4 Thunderbreak Regent 2 Khologan, the Storm's Fury 2 Silumgar, the Drifting Death 2 Dragonlord Ojutai 2 Tasigur, the Golden Fang Spells 19 4 Draconic Roar 4 Crackling Doom 3 Khologan's Command 3 Ruinous Path 2 Treasure Cruise 2 Radiant Flame 1 Murderous Cut Lands: 26 4 Bloodstained Mire 4 Polluted Delta 4 Battlefield Forge 3 Blossoming Sands 3 Swamp 2 Shambling Vents 2 Haven of the Spirit Dragon 1 Badland 1 Tundra 1 Underground Sea 1 Mountain Sideboard: 15 4 Duress 2 Negate 2 Ob Nixilis Reignited 2 Crux of Fate 2 Utter End 2 Radiant Flame 1 Painful Truths The main things about his adding of blue is because Stormbreath Dragon is no longer with us and he wanted to have powerful dragons to continue his usage of Draconic Roar. The big change is that he got blue dragons and treasure cruise. Its the same plan as your description of Grixis but a lot less control, playing more like a midrange deck. Drop threats, kill dudes, and at some point untap into Kologhan for 12-30 damage. I will share your list with him to see if there's anything he'd like to incorporate. Thanks for the write up! | ||

I've been proxying with Autum Burchett's (only 9-1 in constructed at the PT) list and it just feels pretty unfair some of the curve-outs the deck can have, but it doesn't play any(!) Gideons, instead opting for Archangel of Tithes. magic.wizards.com has the decklist. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/WX3PNSa) here was my list. I maindecked Archangel of Tithes like Autumn, and I was the only one to beat her in constructed actually, so I think Archangel is the real deal. I'm interested in trying her list (maybe adding a 4th Archangel and a Hangarback or something) though especially considering I need to give back the Gideons I borrowed. | ||

I've definitely been looking at some Grixis dragon configurations but yours definitely looks the cleanest. Not sure if I can run the list without deltas/sunken hollows though so I'll probably just end up as Rakdos. | ||

I have access to any deck I want and the most experience with Canadian Thresh. Anyone have a suggestion on what I should play? If you're rusty, you should probably go with your most familiar deck, so Threshold. Or choose something utterly bizarre so that both you and your opponent have no idea what's going on thus evening things out . | ||
