Nice to see someone finally bringing up that XYZ will kill magic, this has to be the first time someone has had these thoughts and made a take like that.

I think talisman could be cool, do report back if you try it and like it. I don't love the discard approach anymore but maybe with witchclaw you could play less discard and just tutor for it if need...
Yeah the BG matchup is tough. I think veil is very good there for what it's worth.
I do like the card draw, maybe there is an almost monoU deck that plays a lot of sol lands and as many as 4 Drawn from Dreams...
What do you feel is keeping you the most from going better than...
This is my current list (long post incoming below):
CREATURES (5)
4 Griselbrand
1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
ENCHANTMENTS (4)
4 Omniscience
SORCERIES (15)
My list is BUG :)
I have been testing quite frequently actually but will be away from keyboard today so long post incoming tomorrow. My list is very different right now.
+1000
Also, why are we building a modern deck in legacy? :p Seems to me a lot of good cards in both colors are missing.
I also started testing this deck a few months ago. I found that you need to add some punch to the more stock lists to make it worth not just playing miracles with mentor. Nicklas Krull did this with...
I think you should look at legacy superstar Yuta Takahashi's manabase in his Grixis Control list from PT 25, I think that it's a really good take on a manabase and it also allows you to play Moon/B2B...
You need to win the clash, and if both have Emrakuls on top then the clash is a tie and you don't get the card back. So what happens if you go for it is usually that you win maybe 5-10 clashes, then...
You are correct that the instant speed kill requires LDV, and the full FF chain might cost you a few life points because of that. Not always though as you usually get Brainstorm, LDV and Wish with FF...
Such cards are always grossly overrated so I would not think so. Basically, it's very seldom a good idea to tap out early and go down a card just to attack your opponents library.
This seems like a perfect opportunity for me to enact my ongoing plan of putting Emrakul, the Promised End in all decks.
What about the Control version? I've been playing that nonstop since even before the ban, and it seems to be the strongest by far post ban as it is the least impacted by losing DRS.
Thanks!
Heh, yes so it would seem, though some on the games were very tight. Thing in the Ice bailed me out several times ^^
Still working on Grixis Control and getting good results - made the finals of a 32+ man tournament here in Stockholm today with this list:
CREATURES (6)
3 Snapcaster Mage
2 Baleful Strix...
For you Grixis-draw-go-lovers out there - I top 8:ed a local legacy tournament here in Stockholm last weekend with this list:
CREATURES (8)
3 Snapcaster Mage
2 Vendilion Clique
2 Baleful...
I've been having a lot of fun with this deck actually!
CREATURES (7)
4 Snapcaster Mage
2 Vendilion Clique
1 True-Name Nemesis
ENCHANTMENTS (2)
2 Search for Azcanta
"Grixis Control" is basically just a color combination (Grixis) and a deck style (control). Trying to define an exact list is very hard compared a more established deck name like Czech Pile.
...
It is very similar to mine (even down to the MD Edict). But it doesn't appear very tuned. I don't like the bolts etc. You can very easily play Moon in the deck as it is basically UB with a light red...
Is there any possibility to rework this thread into a new one named Grixis Control and gather all discussions about those decklists here? The primer for this deck right now includes 4 Treasure...
My version plays several basics and is essentially UB, so it doesn't lose to moon (I play one myself right now) and it also plays 3 Kolaghan's Command so it doesn't really lose to chalice either. The...
I think that since the top banning the deck has splintered into different directions. My list has now morphed into a UB splash Kolaghan's Command list, which is very controlling and have discarded...
There exists an UWx Landstill deck i believe! :)
