That should be "always considered the MD Stifle versions of Grixis worse Pyromancer decks than the Therapy versions..." For what it's worth I've also had more success with the Therapy versions of...
This is an interesting outlook. I've always consider the MD Stifle versions of Grixis worse Pyromancer decks than the Stifle versions, and as a Shardless player I'm definitely more afraid (on...
If your opponent opens with their own Deathrite on the play then Bolt is also preferable to Deathrite. The amount that Shardless or another Delver deck can pull ahead with 3 mana on turn 2 is...

I've tried a few different 4c builds both with and without Stifle, and I get where he's coming from with 0 Angler. The D&T matchup is pretty bad, with the stock list, and Lavamancer is huge in the...

I agree that Bob or Noah's list is the logical starting point for someone coming to the deck for the first time, though I also think that there's plenty of room for tuning and variation.If you're...
