Being honest I didn't read your boarding strategies b/c we have pretty different approaches to the deck i.e. stifle/decay vs therapy/no decay. Buttttt I am pretty tempted for my next playgroup outing...

any thoughts on the DnT Match-up. Feels pretty rough, but winnable at times. The combo of RIP + a stream of disrupting creatures is pretty gnarly to beat. Have had the best bet getting online the...

I love having the extra threat, but honestly haven't ever tested without it honestly. The only part that I do have some insights in is the 2 decay in the SB. It felt really go to have in against...

Wanted to post a tournament report from a Legacy FNM last week. Went 3-1 solid for 4th place due to breakers. List is pretty stock 2 therapy, 1 pierce, 1 forked bolt main. Same SB as Noah
Walker...

I think probe is a fantastic tool of the deck. Most delver decks want probe, but Grixis is really the only one that can realistically support it due to its synergy with pyromancer and cabal therapy....

hey all a quick tournament report for all from a weekly.

List is the standard 2 cabal therapy, 1 pierce, 1 forked bolt build, with 3 pyro and a TNN. SB is also pretty stock for the current times,...

I too agree with this. I auto board out TNN and both anglers vs combo. I usually board against storm like:

-1 TNN
-2 Angler
-1 Forked Bolt
-2 Lightning bolt

+1 Cabal therapy
+2 Surgical
+1...

Generally the mid range strategy is bringing in more cards that really grind, like strix and painful truths. I don't like cabal therapy vs shardless as its a pretty poor tempo play for us and their...

Sure I'll try my best:

Basically having some general things to bring in vs each match up, and shaving here and their in the main to make room.

For example vs shardless the other night I...

I would never board out any creatures vs miracles, and I keep in most of the bolts as we desperately need to reach vs them.

I usually take out some number of dazes (both play and draw maybe...

hey all,

Trying to figure out my SB, currently it is:

2 decay
2 strix
2 pyroblast
2 surgical
2 painful truths
1 dismember

Exactly right. I think for a while this "RUG Delver" mindset was leading to losses for me. This deck can grind pretty darn hard, hence finding some more utility with the MD cabal therapy.

Yah I have a buddy who plays burn so I have a lot of experience with that match up. I'm in the non-stifle build FYI. Honestly most of it comes down to your early pressure backed up by an angler....

Any thoughts on general SB strategy for the typical sb build? I find myself struggling with when to bring in cabal therapy in the less obvious matchups such as delver and shardless, which I've heard...

For this stifle debate going on, Grixis feels like THE stifle delver deck, even beyond the legendary RUG delver. You cannot over estimate the advantage of having deathrite to keep you on curve while...

Really because of the ability to disrupt their mana and keep your own velocity high b/c if deathrite shaman. Also this deck attacks on multiple axises with DRS, angler, and YP. Also vs other delver...

I fully agree with this and been on 3 probe 1 pierce for a while and heavily considering the 2 pierce 2 probe config. I often find myself cutting probes post board vs decks that I'm not bringing in...

Any more insights on the bobs? Did you swap out all the therapies? I feel like totally cutting therapy from the 75 takes away one of our strongest tools, but I also really want bob as well!

I'm on the exact same main and I love it.

SB is slightly different with 4 cabal therapy 2 submerge, 2 decay, and 1 cage as the differences. Deck has been super solid lately and really have...

A friend of mine is trying out 2 Md pierce and 3 sb bob, which seem pretty solid. He cut the 4th probe and stifle for the pierces. I'm still new to the deck so I'm gunna sick with a stock list for a...
