I actually tried a 2-2 split of Grim and Top this weekend playing against my friends on 4C/Grixis Delver. I never drew the Tops, but Grim even as a pair felt better then Swiftspear at times. I sadly...

What are your thoughts on 2 Sensei's Divining Top? I like the idea of less then 4 Grims, but drawing into a 1-of with no draw in the deck seems optimistic. I like the idea of 3 Grims, 2 Tops, and 19...

What's the general consensus on the creature line-up between Grim Lavamancer and Monastery Swiftspear? I feel like maining 4 Grims might be too many, but I think if you want Swiftspear, you should...

Agree on the conclusion about its numbers changing with how the deck's configuration has changed.

I still think 4 is the best number - we aren't a deck with real filtering, and Grim is a fragile...

How did running the 3 Cage's feel? I've been eschewing graveyard hate for awhile, but I'm not sure if that's right.

So I'm likely playing this deck for GP NJ. List is as follows:


Creatures...

Blaze will always do the 3 to the dome as it has two targets, and is slightly better verus tribal, Painter, and D/T. Blaze also allows you to trade it plus a Grim activation for a Tarmogoyf.

Good Point. I haven't tried Blood in the main over Blaze yet.

How many Pillars do you sideboard? I was thinking of 4x Eidolon main and 2x Pillar in the SB.

I did not realize that about Blood. The question I have to ask though, what matchups are you bringing in Blood against where they would bring in Leyline. I can't think of any decks that want that...

It's also relevant againt Tarmogoyf, as a Grim activation plus a Searing Blaze will often kill a Tarmogoyf, and Blaze can deal 3 damage regardless if the creature it targets is destroyed. If you...

Another Top 8 (Top 4) for Burn this year. It makes me proud to run the red spells.

It's about $500-600 to build in paper, with fetchlands and a SB (The expensive cards being Fetchlands, Ensnaring Bridge, Goblin Guide, and Chain Lightning). It's about $300/300 tix on MODO, based on...

I wouldn't bring in Bridge against any deck with Abrupt Decay, because they likely won't remove it - they'll expect Vortexes and will care about Grims. Against other aggro, IMO, yes, though you might...

I just don't understand the numbers of the MB in the 14th place list, and the SB in the 16th place. I'd want Vortex in the board in the 16th place with some more Searing effects and some Smashes. I'm...

Did that awhile ago too, worth every penny.

Also, TWO Burn decks in the Top-16 of SCG: Providence. Not a huge fan of the 14th place list, but I love the 16th place list:

The 2nd paragraph is exactly my thoughts, I think 8 might be excessive and just needs to be slightly tweaked. I would love a 3rd Vortex in the board, but the only card I want to cut is Blood in that...

To the people playing Sullivan's newest list:

I brought it to a ten-man local (4 rounds) last weekend and went 4-0, beating Jund, UB Tezzeret, BUG Control, and Canadian Thresh. I ran his exact...

Happen to really like this idea. I'm currently sideboarding 3. The 4th can often be redundant, and allows you a free SB slot, sort of like sideboarding 3 Ensnaring Bridge instead of 4th.

Question...
