    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    I still think this is a stifle metagame.

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    yes I like the 1 spell pierce. I don't wish it was a probe, maybe a forked bolt sometimes.

    darkblast is ok against d&t. although I don't think it's a very common deck nowadays.

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    if there's a lot of Burn you're probably going to lose either way.

    Stifle is great against 2 of the tier 1 decks (Storm and Miracles) and excellent in the mirror and against Shardless, so I still...

    "fetch it as the third land"

    that's a lot of lands you're fetching there bud.

    you have to have islands available at all times for daze or to threaten daze.

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    Don't run Badlands. We often have to operate on one land, and you don't want to turn off your Dazes or be unable to cast Delver.

    Re: [Deck] Grixis Tempo

    I don't think playing a basic is correct, because this deck is so color-intensive as is. Between Deathrite and Pyromancer we can still win through a Blood Moon and I've done it before. If you're...

    Re: [Deck] Grixis Tempo

    I sort of see it as a core 58 with the 4th Stifle and 4th Probe as flex slots. In a large tournament I'm fine playing that 60, but in smaller local metas I tend to put in some tech.

    why not just play goyfs if you're not going to play pyromancer+therapy... pyromancer is the reason to play this deck.

    Re: [Deck] Grixis Tempo

    Well there's some stuff that carries over from any delver deck (board out your forces against other delver decks, board out dazes on the draw in most matchups).

    Therapy is for combo (duh), also...

    So far my best K-Command play:

    playing against Burn, he is at 16 and I am at 3. He has no cards in hand. He has an Eidolon in play, I have a flipped Delver and an Angler. I attack with both, he...

    I've been looking at this card because MUD is in my meta. Again, it's competing with K-Command.

    Re: [Deck] Grixis Tempo

    Forces are the first thing to board out against enemy Delver decks. Probes after that. I don't bring in Therapies.

    my local meta has BUG Delver, so I don't want to overextend vs Golgari Charm. plus Angler matches up well against Goyf.

    Nice. It might be a good idea to comment on a few of the different styles (more stifle/wasteland, more green/decay).

    Personally I don't usually play Swiftspear unless I'm also playing some copies of Chain Lightning, and I'd probably use the same logic for Abbot.

    The primary difference between Abbot/Swiftspear and other threats is that they encourage you play your spells at sorcery speed rather than instant speed. So you're basically trading flexibility for...
