I do keep all my dazes on the draw against Storm and tempo. As cave said, you always want 4 against unfair decks, and cheap interaction is critical in tempo mirrors. Not to mention, daze can be used...

1) Cutting some number of Dazes on the draw in certain matchups is definitely a valid strategy, but you should ALWAYS run the full playset when on the play. EDIT: I still keep mine on the draw in...

What do you guys think of Noah Walker's GP Seattle manabase with only 7 fetchlands in favor of the 3rd Volcanic Island? A friend of mine had suggested the idea last week and I initially dismissed it...

Yes. Side out your Fows and Probes, bring in additional burn, blast effects, and Flusterstorms. Try to always have an answer for a t1 Deathrite Shaman and play the denial/tempo game. The stifle list...

Whenever I read this argument, all I see is "stifle is an absolute necessity in Canadian threshold since that deck is inexcusably underpowered by today's standards, whereas it is merely an option in...

Cool list. Not playing True Name Nemesis is wrong, though.

See, I really want to side out all of my Gitaxian Probes and Forces in the mirror, and I actually struggle finding 7 boardable cards in the board. I only like keeping a couple of Forces in if I'm...

Has anyone here tried Abrade? I am considering it in place of the second Ancient Grudge as part of a sideboard tweaking since I want to retain a second artifact destruction effect that can also...

Not that anyone's playing that deck anymore, but it should also be pretty good against Miracles, and against other fringe decks like Pox, Stax, etc. Regardless, it looks like 4c control is quickly...

Just a little something those frustrated about the 4c match-up might wanna try: Bitterblossom . I was scanning a tournament report in the Czech pile threat and the author mentioned being cold to it...

I have to second that. Czech Pile style decks are the main reason why I've made the move to the Stifle version of Grixis Delver, and I haven't looked back since. So far, I've gone 3-0 against them on...

Toxic deluge is absolutely atrocious in this deck, how can anyone seriously consider it is beyond me.
Sudden demise is a bit better since it doesn't necessarily kill most of our own creatures, but...

Thanks for the read, that was indeed interesting. I especially appreciated the performance analysis, and I mostly agree with his assessment of the deck.

I am not sold on the Wasteland-less plan...

Again, this.

And by the way, I do not think the match-up is unwinnable or even very unfavorable, we can certainly get there with our good draws, but if they're able to weather the early storm and...

Bingo. It's not about the colours: they could play five for all I care. It's about them playing an unbalanced piece of shit that happens to be tailor made to beat the deck I love playing most. I own...

Been noticing that trend too and it's really annoying. People insist on playing clockless piles of removal, baleful strixes and snapcaster mages even though combo just dominated the biggest legacy...

I took part in a 98-man tournament last Sunday with Grixis Delver, playing the standard Noah Walker's MB 60 (with Clique), and a Fatal Push replacing Dismember.
SB was:

2 Baleful Strix
2 Winter...

This is the essence of what I was trying to say. Against DnT I'd rather leave in Daze/FoW (depending on whether I'm otp or otd) than bring in the strixes

I've been playing DnT since Thalia, Guardian of Thraben was printed, and Grixis since the DTT days, so I feel like I've got reliable insight on this particular match-up.

Baleful Strix is really...

I'd say it's pretty even against the colorless version, provided you have a strong sideboard for it, with multiple answers to chalice (ancient grudge, explosives, kolaghan's, decays) and a couple of...

Pyroblast is an obvious side in vs reanimator, imo. Not only is it useful in counter wars/stops their cantripping, it will also counter one of their main enablers (careful study) and Show and Tell,...

Hello folks, I haven't really played grixis since the DTT days, but I've decided to pick it up again (midrangy/cabal therapy version). I was wondering whether anyone has tested a 1-of Notion Thief in...
