Also I think vs Lands you actually want to cut the therapies and leave 2 bolt. Vs turbo depths maybe cut something for a Grudge to deal with pithing needle.

You know, idk about the miracles plan. I think actually you also want to cut a Wasteland for a Cabal Therapy and maybe a Daze for Lili.

I mostly just opt for TNN or Gurmag beats vs Lands, of...

I think this is what I'm taking to GP Seattle. I have found that I am not good at playing with Spell Pierce, hence Therapy (also the extra removal slots SB are...

So in the mirror match I like to sideboard like this:

In: 2 Marsh Casualties, 2 Edict, 2 Pyroblast
Out: 2 Force of Will, 2 Probe, 2 Pierce

I still like having Dazes and a couple FoW to deal...

Updated the primer with links to videos and articles.

Check out the 1st page of the primer guys, I updated it with Bob Huang's thoughts about matchups after SCG Wor.

It's all about playing whatever fits your playstyle. Give stifle a try.

As for the manabase I don't really experience problems. You can still cast DRS off U Sea to make red. Of course, things can...

I like to take out 2 Pierce for the surgicals. You don't want to be leaving mana up and they just play decay. I like bringing in grudge. Mox and chalice are fine targets. I'd probably cut 2 stifle...

Not saying you're wrong, but if Czech pile has an extra 2 mana when they are casting a haymaker, then something has gone horribly wrong. In my testing they almost never have an extra 2 mana "lying...

It's mainly Czech Pile for Spell Pierce. The idea is that they invest all of this mana into a K Command or Jace and you just blow them out. With Cabal Therapy, you can get the card out of their hand...

Dismember is awesome, I might even go up to 2. It hits everything relevant except TNN, it doesn't get blown out vs prowess decks, you can play it under blood moon, and also under chalice. Since the...

Nice report Steve. Cool to see your take on the deck!

Hey guys, updated the primer with some sideboarding notes from LewisCBR.

Ithink it's closer to even with "stock" Grixis. There are so many opportunities for 2 for 1s against d&t.

The thing is, there are several ways to approach almost every matchup, this is going to be pretty subjective. The decisions of what to cut in sideboarding are also very close. I am sure Nate Barton,...

Pyromancer is good in that it can only be answered in a short timeframe before it spirals out of control and requires a very specific answer (sweeper).

It is what makes us resilient to Baleful...

Just 4-1'd a league with stock Therapy build (Dismember Spell Pierce in the flex).

SB:

2 Baleful Strix (Been seeing a resurgence of Eldrazi lately)
2 Surgical Extraction
2 Invasive Surgery
2...

Yeah, when it comes to Stifle I really like 3 more than 4. 4 is great too don't get me wrong, I just think 3 feels like the right amount just in case you are behind or it is dead.

I also think it...

I could also see a case for a pure tempo approach (card advantage be damned if they are just dead)

In
1 Pyroblast
1 Winter Orb

Out
2 Cabal Therapy

Cabal is really more of a midrange card...

With that list i'd go:

In
1 Pyroblast
1 Ancient Grudge
1 Winter Orb
1 Fire Covenant
1 Abrupt Decay
2 Baleful Strix

The definition of tilt: losing to Storm after surgicalling all of their tendrils and having them naturally draw their 1 empty the warrens when you have untapped DRS and FOW backup.
...

I have been experimenting with different builds and sideboards, and here are my thoughts lately:

1) You definitely want Winter Orb vs Miracles. I tried cutting it for multiple Pithing Needles and...

If you are disliking the Therapy/Probe package maybe you can be my test subject :P

I brewed this up today

4 Delver of Secrets
4 Deathrite Shaman
3 Young Pyromancer/Snapcaster Mage
2 Baleful...

It's been pretty good for me, but i would really prefer fire covenant. Nothing cleans up eldrazi/d&t/elves/maverick better, not to mention completely turning the tables in the mirror from behind.
