Looking at the fact that URW Delver is currently winning so much love and affection I was pondering about the option to bring a Delver based deck to the darkside.
I think Team Grixis could/should be a tempo oriënted deck in Modern, relying on a good first/second turn and then trying to control the board and whack the win home with our proper creatures :).
Yet I have been out of contention lately when it comes to magic and thus am struggling with a proper list and also with the proper numbers of spells included. I seek your help with that.
The current list I was thinking about (post RTR):
4x Delver of Secrets
4x Goblin Guide
4x Dark Confidant
3x Goblin Electomancer
[15 Creatures]
5x Island
2x Mountain
1x Swamp
3x Steam Vents
1x Blood Crypt
2x Watery Grave
4x U/R Fetch (forgot name)
2x Darkslick Shores
1x Blackcleave Cliffs
[21 Land]
4x Lightning Bolt
3x Inquisition of Kozilek
1x Izzet Charm
1x Electrolyze
4x Terminate
2x Spell Pierce
2x Spell Snare
1x Blightning
3x Serum Visions
[21 Instant/Sorcery]
3x Liliana of the Veil
[3x Planeswalkers]
I have also been considering these for the main board:
Deprive
Mana Leak
Go for the Throat
Dismember
Thoughtseize
Duress
Lava Spike
Thunderous Wrath
and so on...
What do you think about this? Is this worth testing? Are there any viable alternatives in Modern for the current cards?
Is there already a top tier/tier 2 deck with this archetype? Always looking for some help with this :)
Cheers and thanks in advance!
